Update the first (I think it's canonically #6...):
The next Printer's Proof will be released some time in the next three hours. It is currently 7:42am in Berlin, 6:42am in London, 1:42am in New York, 12:42 in Kitchener and 10:42pm in Los Angeles. It's 5:42pm in Sydney and 7:42pm in Christchurch. If you folks on the other side of the world will keep half an eye on your email this will be your best chance to snag one of these when we announce it. Towards the end of the campaign we'll release two more around this time of day.
Forget about this. It's from Yesterday. So the Proof is gone.
We're still awaiting final word on what the shipping cost will be for the Print-On-Demand CAN portfolios. Actually, Dave has quite a few portfolios in storage including, I'm told, a lot of CAN5s. CAN5 features stunning original art reproductions from the highly praised, JAKA'S STORY.
More on this in a minute...
And we've passed the halfway point to the first Stretch Goal. The Giant-Size Cerebus Trading Card seen a few updates back, is officially available to all backers when the campaign reaches $12,000. It's a tough goal, but Dave feels strongly that this year-long process is to test out things people might want by sending out a fanzine with a fancy gold cover. But, if enough people buy enough of these things and the other items offered, Dave will let it out there with the caveat that you may have an advanced copy of the first card, but if the card set doesn't happen, or it gets changed to smaller sizes, or any number of things, you were warned that you may have a unique, one of a kind thing that only a couple of hundred people own. Not a bad thing either way, really.
So, the campaign is currently over halfway there.
Update the second (canonically #8):
As promised, here are the shipping rates. If you select either option you will see the Surface shipping rate. Included below are the Air Rates with Tracking. If you wish to choose the second option just increase your pledge by that amount and let us know in the comments or at the end of the campaign. Inflation and, you know... the thing, are impacting shipping rates worldwide. We may be sending things by carrier pigeon next time.
Thanks to everyone for a great first half!
And Dave has a message for me (and you guys I guess...):
