By Zack Quaintance — Folks, I have to confess…I’m worn out. I don’t know if I have it in me to get you an actionable Kickstarter Comics Tip today. In fact, I know that I don’t. I’ve also recently compiled list culled from this experience and this blog for a pair of great websites, doing a funny version of Xavier Files and a more serious take for my good friends at The Beat.

As such, today’s entry is just a very sincere thank you to everyone who has followed along with this blog, given me advice, or supported my campaign. I know I have a (modest) audience with this website and with my writing for The Beat. But I have no idea how big that audience is, and I really had no idea a month ago if anyone who read my comics journalism would be interested in or care about a comic that I made. I just knew that I had a comic in me, I had a great collaborator in my friend/incredible artist Pat Skott, and that I wanted to share that comic with folks who appreciated the medium.

I’ve been writing for more than decade with the intent to publish, going back to when I started getting seriously into literary fiction in my 20s. I’ve been sort of lurking as a creator in comics over the past three years or so, wanting to create within the medium but at the same time feeling like I needed to pay my dues, network, and study — thus this website. Launching that first Kickstarter was a pretty scary leap, but the response has been overwhelming and for that I’m so grateful.

This is the last entry for this blog. I’m going to ice my nerves and emotions for a few days, and then I’m going to get back to the joyful work of actually producing this comic, armed with the support you all have shown me — both in terms of interest and funding. I’ll close by saying I just can’t wait for you all to read our book.
