Today was ridiculous! In a good way.

I put up a Kickstarter project so you all could help me defray the costs of producing a big DS eBook collection of my first 3,000 comics. I set the goal to what I thought was a reasonable, symbolic $3,000. That was enough to justify spending some time on the book and would show me that people actually wanted the book. I figured it would take a week, but we'd hit the goal and it would be great.

I didn't even get a chance to link the Kickstarter page on my website before we hit 100%. It took less than 45 minutes from mentioning it on Twitter. Thank you! That was insane.

We're currently at almost 3x the original goal. I've already had to add extra rewards for donations and am expanding the scope of this project to include more commentary and more time to tweak the art. I'm adding a whole extra book and releasing CRUSH ALL HU-MANS! as a DRM-free ebook when we hit $10,000. If this keeps going, I may be able to budget time to reconstruct and color all my syndicated comics. Who knows what else we'll get done?

I'm really grateful to everyone who's joined in! Please go check out the Kickstarter page. Even if you don't contribute, I tried to make it a funny read.

You can also follow the project updates in its built-in blog. Don't you want to force me to ruin my vegetarian streak and eat a pound of bacon on camera? I believe this is what they call "dying for your art."
