I realise that it’s a potentially inopportune time for a crowdfunding project—particularly when the world is, frankly, a kind of scary place right now.
I want to make it clear that this campaign has been in the works—with this date—for months. It's important to me that you know that the creative team isn't insensitive to our worldwide crisis. We’re just treading water in previously unimaginable seas.
If the campaign succeeds, we're excited to have the opportunity to entertain you. We love these characters and are having a blast making this comic.
However, we understand that it’s a trying time for everyone and hope you don’t think less of us for going ahead and launching the campaign at this time, in these very strange circumstances.
Here's a link to the campaign.
In other news, while we’re practicing social distancing, and most of us are homebound the majority of the day, I thought it might be fun to share some of the entertainment we’re watching. Please respond with some of your shows or movies, maybe say what you like about ‘em, and I’ll share them in the next newsletter.
For me, I’m loving Dispatches from Elsewhere (Mondays on AMC). You see more here. The less I share about it, and the more you discover while watching, the better.
In a similar vein is the former AMC series Lodge 49. It’s currently airing on Hulu, or is available for digital purchase on Amazon Prime Video.
Both of these series are quirky, sweet (not sickly-sweet, though), and look for magic beyond our everyday routines.
