Project Update: Yo Dudes & Dudettes! The Humble Dude's New Sketchbook Needs YOU!
Alright folks, gather 'round! Your friendly neighborhood artist, Steve Rude (the one with the crippling art supply habit!), is back with a brand new sketchbook project: The Art of Steve Rude 2025 Sketchbook!
We just wanted to let everyone know that work on the comic is currently underway, and to say thank you to everyone for their patience. We joined onto the comictopia project on rather short notice, but during the campaign it became clear that while we love Backerkit for our fulfillment solution, we've just built up too much of a an audience on Kickstarter to try and move everyone over here. So we will be launching issue 1, the full issue, over on Kickstarter next month, and we will have enough art to finalize assembly of the ashcan very soon.
Artist Antonio Baldari also had to take on another gig unexpectedly but is back working on CSR, and also contributed this awesome cover for the upcoming full length issue.
So hopefully if everything lines up right, you will have the ashcans in hand just as everyone is starting to talk about the first issue, before it goes to press. This will also get a wide circulation through comic book stores nation/world-wide, making this limited ashcan release something special. As soon as the new kickstarter pre-launch page is live we will share that too. More to come soon!
In the mean time, if you're into other gratuitous, violent fun, but of the supernatural bent, there's a campaign for the new printing of Mercy Sparx #1 happening right now:

I received my package today, and am very disappointed. I am missing my ambassador card and only got 6 of the pogs. The books were not packaged securely and are almost all damaged. I'm just now seeing the t-shirt voucher, and seeing that we have to pay separate shipping on the shirt is also really not cool, especially considering everything else, because it basically makes the t-shirt an additional fee (and therefore not included in the $95 we paid for that tier, not including all of my add-ons plus the other shipping). Plus the only shirt I want doesn't even have my size (small) in either of the colors, so I haven't placed the shirt order yet. I just feel really disappointed in all of this. I recently got laid off without warning or severance, so the amount of money I spent on this order ($216, not including the $5 more I'll have to spend on the shirt shipping) feels astronomical right now, so seeing how everything was delivered just feels crushing.

Hello. Iām curious when shipping will start? (I filled out my survey immediately). I have heard zero updates in a couple months. Thanks, Jeff
I kinda lost track of this one-- you haven't sent out any digital products yet, have you?

I finally got my package in the mail and everything looks great! However, when I opened the envelope that had the coin, book mark, and etc, I noticed that I was missing the individually numbered ambassador card.
