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!
