Hi, guys! Yup, it's that time again!
I've begun taking pre-orders for the third print installment of my webcomic, And A Stick to Beat the Devil With, with the same intent as always: To cover the print bill. I've cleaned up my shop pages and put (nearly) everything I sell on sale to help towards costs, but the prices are going right back up the second the bill's covered. This won't last forever, so you've gotta hurry.
I'm offering pre-order packages with sketches, plain pre-orders, and general discounts. My goal is to have book three paid off in two weeks, like book one was.
Here's the freshly-upgraded store. Go nuts!
And the chapter that will be going to print can be read, in its entirety, starting here.
Warning to surf-at-workers and little kids: This chapter's got some male and female nudity. Just so's you know.
New comics soon!
Huzzah for the new book! Can't wait!
Sweeeeeeet. Now where did I leave my wallet?
I hope there's a lot of footnotes. I love reading all the little factoids and whatnot from behind the scenes.
CONFESSION: I never really thought I'd be doing this (I am a very poor guy who can barely afford food sometimes, so online book purchases of any kind are a forbidden sin), but I absolutely went and bought the three-book set because I have no spine. Clearly I am either stupid or a slave to my English/Psychology double major ways and cannot resist really interesting writing (your pacing is to die for) or fantastic characterisation.
I had to have it on my shelf of snobby overlooked beautiful literature.
...YES I CALLED A WEBCOMIC LITERARY, WHAT ARE YOU GONNA DO ABOUT IT?
I very much would like to order all three books, but I do have a question. By the latest, when will they be delivered...? I may be moving in about 6 weeks, so if its after that, i'll just have to wait.
Spike Spike Spike! I want to get a Tshirt with my book order but there's nowhere to pick a size. Should I just specify the size in the "extra comments to vendor" field on the Paypal site? Or does the "sceince will save me from myself" Tshirt only come in one size?
I hath done my civic duty. Actually, I did it yesterday...Or was it the day before? Anyways, point is, I actually gave you the CORRECT address the first time this time around, Spike.
Yes, I am rather proud of myself at the moment.
Oops, Savail makes a good t-shirt size point. After I completed my order. Oh well; they're prolly large or XL. The former I can wear; the latter I can shrink. Now, why did I really come her? Oh yes: Silly Spike! Little kids can't read your warning! They can enjoy nudity, though. Wheeeeeeeee!
Ummm... I really don't mean to be an ass, but can we assume no more updates until you get the money to print the book? If so, just say it outright and I'm sure those who can afford it will pitch in.
I love how tough Nicky acts, and he's just got these tiny, dainty little wrists. He would be the first to be sold for cigarettes in a prison.
Who writes Nicky's material? This is a classic verbal beating.
And YAY MARCUS IS DEAD!
No no, Marcus isn't dead. Or, he might be. Nicky said that one of the drunks - probably the one that got the boot to the face - died. The fate of Marcus et al remains to be discovered.
I included my email addy this time in hopes of a spike response but I think i'll go email her to ask about the Tshirt sizes. I don't want a large one. I iz too small.
Meri - names are below posts!
/is disguised as savail
Eh, actually, the names are above the posts. You're still right, 'cept it's Sixten who mistook your post as belonging to me, not Meri. ^_^
It was late and I was tired.
Back to shirt sizing! Can I has it?
"Mean can be funny." Ben's a little more droll than usual in this strip. Not that I'm complaining.
...Is Ben dipping his little corn thingies in a milkshake?
I love that boy so much.
how come ben never laughs?
Just to let you know, your pricing system is a bit out of wack.
Currently, it would cost less to buy the book one+two package, and then the individual book three, than it would to buy the package of all three books.
So, yeah, currently, the three-book bundle is a bad deal. I suggest you either lower the price on the three-book bundle or raise the price on the two-book bundle, because right now it doesn't make sense.
yeah the two book bundle should be at 25$ but then it's the same as two sepprate orders of book one and two.
oh well. I already got the three book bundle anyway so what do I care?
