Latest Updates from Our Project:

(Almost) Second Day Update + Sneak Peek!
over 2 years ago – Wed, Oct 20, 2021 at 01:17:15 AM

Thirty-Four Hours In, So Far...

... and we're at 62% funded! While it seems like we're ahead of schedule, we can't slow down! Keep sharing, keep telling others why you chose to back this, and allow me to THANK YOU for your support, both financially and socially! You're investing in a book that is part of a growing community of independent creatives ("indie") that relies on each of you to be successful. We aren't Marvel or DC or anyone else. We're Charlies and Kats and Daniels and Phils and Michaels and... you get the idea. We're comic book "small business" and I can only speak for myself when I say this: there is no Spider-Squirrel or Trash Panda or Xion Studios without you. Thank you. 💙💙💙

Sneak Peek!!

I realized that you haven't seen this, yet, and it's one of the ONE-OF-A-KIND rewards available in this campaign. So, I'm sharing now.

Behold! The Scott McDaniel cover inks by Laurie Foster!

<<heavenly music>>AAAAAAAHHHHHHH!!!!!<</music>>

Speaking of Laurie Foster -- did you know she also has a campaign running right now?? Check this out:

Plushie Questions, First Day Update, BCC2021!
over 2 years ago – Tue, Oct 19, 2021 at 01:21:35 PM

Whoops!

Apparently several of you were hoping to get a Trash Panda plushie as an Add-on, but I goofed in my setup and forgot to make it available globally. FIXED!

So, if you already backed and want to add the TP plushie (nice, soft, squishy TP...) you can now do so. You'll have to modify your pledge, but if you have any questions on that, please LMK: [email protected]

 What A Day!!

So, a lot happened yesterday -- we launched this campaign, you awesome people pushed it to 55% in 24hrs, and my day job announced that we are being acquired by a global organization! My brain exploded somewhere between campaign launch and midnight... LOL!

But, we're not funded, yet. So, I need your help -- please share-share-share! You can use my web link which is much easier to remember: kickstarter.spider-squirrel.com, and thank you in advance for sharing it!

I'm hoping we can get this fully-funded by Friday because...

I'll Be At Baltimore Comic-con!

I'm super-excited -- and super-anxious -- to be doing my first con in over five years. Incidentally, my last show was BCC, so it's kind of a homecoming for me. I love this show, and the fans, the organizers, the attending creators and publishers are all so engaging. It's a blast. If you'll be there, please come visit me at Tables F8-F9 alongside my Freestyle Komics fam.

On Saturday I'll be attending (not presenting) the Indie Comics Panel to hear insights and stories from Vito Delsante, Dean Haspiel, Jamal Igle, et al., from 2-3pm. Sometime on Saturday I'll be doing a table broadcast with the fellas from the Thoughts From The Basement podcast.

I'll have physical copies of Spider-Squirrel #1 on-hand, as well as some prints from the first campaign, and I'll even have a *few* copies of the Gateway Comics & Toys store exclusive variant and the first issue McDaniel variant (only available at personal appearances; these are not available anywhere else). These are first edition overprints from the original order, so they're extremely limited!

Before I Go...

Here are a couple of really fun, really engaging Kickstarters that I've backed recently and are still running. Check them out!!


Misfitz Clubhouse #1: Let the Shenanigans BEGIN!

If Gravity Falls, Wreck It Ralph, & Fairly Oddparents were neighbors on a cul-de-sac, the Misfitz Clubhouse would be right next door!

BACK IT: Misfitz Clubhouse #1

Snow Paw #1: A 19th Century Scottish Female Werewolf Fantasy

Upon discovering her werewolf lineage, a young woman’s eyes are opened to the existence of Supernatural beings & creatures of Fantasy!

BACK IT: Snow Paw #1

Slice of Life #1 - Queer WEBTOON with an Anime Twist

Gritty anime protagonist, Lady Vengeance, comes to life and falls in love with a high school cheerleader.

BACK IT: Slice of Life #1

Until next time!!!

Project We Love!!!
over 2 years ago – Tue, Oct 19, 2021 at 01:12:25 PM

Well, Of Course *WE* Love This Project...

...but, so does the crew at Kickstarter!!

Wo0t! Wo0t!

Thank you for your support, love, and excitement about this second issue! Keep sharing this campaign with friends and family! Get the word out there that you want them to join our little Nuthouse of Spider-Squirrel (and Trash Panda) fans!

SHARE THIS LINK FAR & WIDE: http://kickstarter.spider-squirrel.com

Check Out This Other Sweet Campaign!

Folks, I really love martial arts. Those that know me know I'm a HUGE Bruce Lee fan, and I tend to watch old school kung-fu theater movies on Sundays before sportball games (The Flying Guillotine! The Five Deadly Venoms!). You also know that I'm a HUGE comic book fan. So, what happens when these two worlds collide? You get the awesome, Shaolin Nun!!

BACK IT HERE: Shaolin Nun #3

Shaolin Nun #1 and #2 are also available in this campaign!

Until later!

Best to you all!

WHAT A START!!! Also: A Clarification!
over 2 years ago – Mon, Oct 18, 2021 at 11:30:24 AM

WOW!!!

You are my favorite people. I love it when you show as much excitement for my characters and books as I have! So great!! Thank you for the INCREDIBLE start, and please keep sharing the link! You can use the easier-to-remember one I made: kickstarter.spider-squirrel.com

 Let's Get Physical Reward Tier

I think I worded it funny, and I apologize if that's the case, but this Reward Tier gets you the physical copy of SS#2 with the regular cover (shown below!). If you want any other cover variant(s) you'll need to do add-ons or change to the Your Choice Of Toppings rewards tier. You can still pick which digital cover you want (not including the McDaniel one) in the Let's Get Physical tier, because that's my mistake, not yours. 😉


Regular Cover Reveal!!

So, the lines for the Regular Cover are in, and they're hilarious, gorgeous, and everything you'd expect from the fantastic Mr. Oliver Castañeda!! Take a peek, and please comment on what you think!!!

💞💞 Love is in the air... and so is Spider-Squirrel!! 🤣🤣
