BILLY DOGMA stretch goal
Little Nemo in Omenland
We cracked $10k on my BILLY DOGMA & JANE LEGIT Kickstarter and, as promised, I’ve got a sweet stretch goal reward if we can make $15k. Go big or go home! Right?
If we can crack $15k, every person who pledged from the THE KISS level all the way up to to XXX level, will also receive an 8.5x11 print of my one-page love story, LITTLE NEMO IN OMENLAND, an original comic I produced for Locust Moon Comics’ Little Nemo: Dream Another Dream. An amazing oversized anthology that won two Eisner Awards and one Harvey Award in 2015.

I had an honest and candid conversation with journalist Joe Maniscalco about comix, crowdfunding, and my current state of mind at Work-Bites.com
Excerpts:
Haspiel says he still retains an “analog heart.”
“I want to hold that [comic book] in my hands and turn the pages at my own pace and have something that can be put on a shelf or lay on a table for someone to randomly pick up,” he says.
That's harder to do with your iPhone or Android device.
“Or,” says Haspiel, “this big black Monolith that we're all kind of ultimately going to be sitting in front of like in 2001: A Space Odyssey. Well, what's in that black Monolith? It's everything. It’s the world, right? It's the Internet. But, you know, I like to go to someone's house and look at a shelf and be like, ‘What books did you buy and keep?’ And what does it say about us?”
-and-
“I'm in a place right now, where it's very difficult for a guy like me, who draws and thinks the way I do, is not necessarily what publishers are looking for,” Haspiel says. “For now, it's one @Kickstarter at a time. And I'm learning from each one."
