Greetings!
We're entering the survey stage of this campaign!
If you're using an AppleID, now is a great time to update that, as it will filter out the email from Backerkit. We're waiting for our printer proofs, and as soon as we receive those, we're going on press!
This project is running just a little behind schedule, but it is in great shape!

We're pleased to report that files for both volumes of TOM THE DANCING BUG are on the way to the printer. We're tracking just a little bit behind schedule, but the hardest part is behind us.
Next step is to receive "make readies" of the books - preview books for us to check that all the pages are in order, that the crops and color look good, and then it's off to press!
COMING SOON ON KICKSTARTER:
Can love overcome the barrier of death? A soul-searching journey between the living and the dead. An all-new graphic novel from Clover Press! Sign up to be notified when we launch!

Hey everyone!
We are just checking in here to let you know that we are well into the design phase of this project. There are a lot of things on our to-do list, so we'd better get back to work!
If you use AppleID as your main way of communicating through Kickstarter, we ask that you change it over to a regular email address. We use Backerkit for fulfillment and there is a glitch where the Backerkit and Kickstarter interfaces don't communicate through AppleID. We will be sending the survey through Backerkit, so please update your contact info so we are able to reach you! Surveys will go out when the books are on press.
Who is looking forward to these stickers featuring all of Ruben Bolling's favorite characters?

AND THAT'S A WRAP!
THANK YOU to all 400+ of you who backed this project!
It was thrilling to see the numbers go up as each of you found out about Volume 1 and 2. It was equally thrilling to see that many of you who had no knowledge about this series in the first place go all in on the complete set! You won't be disappointed! Ruben Bolling is one of the best political cartoonists of our time.
Our favorite part of this project is this cool slipcase that will house all 8 books! It will be amazing to have a complete set of Tom the Dancing Bug on our bookshelves!
The next step is to make the books! We will keep you up to date as we hit the milestones listed in the graphic above.
IMPORTANT! We use Backerkit to fulfill out campaigns. Their is a bug in the system that prevents communications from Backerkit to reach Kickstarter contacts who use AppleID as their main contact. If you are able, please change your AppleID contact to a regular email address so that you will receive the Backerkit survey which we will send out when we send the book to press.
Thanks again from Ruben Bolling and all of us at Clover Press!
