You’ll end up watching this video twice. I can almost guarantee it.

Thanks to Mark Evanier for finding this.

As things continue moving on our project (albeit slowly), I have been doing a lot of thinking in regards to the amount of time everyone has had to wait to have a final product in their hands. Had I known that things would have ground to such a slow pace (not to mention the growth of the digital publishing market), I probably would have done this sooner. But hey, this is how we learn, right? So with that said, I’ve decided that instead of sending out rewards once they are all in hand, I’m going to start getting the story out sooner by releasing each of the book’s six sections digitally as soon as they are ready!

Every pledge level of the project involved the backer receiving a digital copy of the book upon completion, but now I will send you the issues in sequence as they get completed (with special bonus material) plus the complete book in a single digital version once the entire book is published! This way, the wait gets a little easier and I can start taking advantage of the way the market is currently by monetizing the content via the Apple Bookstore and the like. Again, in retrospect, this is what I should have done in the first place, because the color work has been getting done from random parts of the book and the first issue was initially skipped outright because I felt people would only be interested in seeing fresh pages. So Brandon has to start recoloring part one of the book before jumping back to the rest. Expect the completely redone first issue in the next few months.

In regards to progress on the colors, Brandon has been working at a steady rate, but the other colorists we floated offers out to have not signed on for anything solid yet. We have found a couple others who may be able to help out and are waiting to see what their level of interest/availability is.

Finally, last time around, we showed off Gilbert’s pencils of the script pages I’d written, which showed the changes that sometimes happen. Page two ended up with six panels instead of the four written. This time out, we have the flat colors, which were done by Daniel Blodgett (owner of Gett Comics). The flat colors are usually done by someone so that the color artist has an easier time making the finished product. Next time around, I’ll show you Brandon’s finished rendering before posting the final version that will see print!

Since the Republicans are trying to get Libertarian candidate Gary Johnson taken off ballots in key states, then the Democrats should do everything they can to make sure he stays on them. They can sell it as wanting to support a more open democracy and that their confidence in their ideas means that they have no fear of multiple parties.

And to be fair, here is a return strategy idea for Republicans: If the Democrats actually do something like this, then you should pump money into getting a Green Party candidate on the rolls/media exposure.

Like I said, they’re free ideas. If you’d like, you may use them without paying me anything or giving me credit. I have tons of ideas, so there’s no need to be greedy 😮
