Attention, Covid Cop First Responders!
Thanks to your generous pledges and donations, we were able to make my initial goal by Day Three of the campaign!
As of this message, we have 172 backers but, with your help spreading the word, let's aim to double that number by next week.
The initial goal pays for the printer and the US Mail for shipping/etc. When it comes to independent publishing, all the services get paid before the artist does, and I'm hoping to be able to recoup out-of-pocket costs even if it's just to break even. With that in mind, I'm considering a couple of stretch goals that will benefit everyone who ordered the print comic and up.
Stretch goals help generate awareness and funding for the project. I'm considering a 10k stretch goal, a 15k stretch goal and beyond to get that much-needed boost. Look out for surprise perks coming soon.
Again, THANK YOU for being the first wave of backers to believe in me and COVID COP.
I had a great conversation with John Siuntres about COVID COP and other fun topics for the Word Balloon podcast.
