What's the point? My Monster Girlfriend on amazon says it's coming out July 2nd. With so few updates on here I have a feeling we're not getting the books any sooner then that. Next time I'm just buying off amazon

I’ve followed Iron Circus since it was just Templar AZ floating around on the internet and I’ve never seen a delay like this from them. I think it’s possible that for once they really bit off more than they could chew by not wrapping some of the secondary projects before launching a frickin animation studio that affluent furries would throw money at like our government throws money at the military. And frankly, I get it. Those little cats and their moonshine represent a whole new (potential) chapter for the company with a lot of opportunities on the other side. Unfortunately, I think it means our project got shafted because it’s not as delicate or promising. I do think they will eventually fulfill our orders, but I don’t think it’s happening until something shifts with Lackadaisy and more resources are put into *finally* tying off the major loose ends. Am I disappointed? Oh f**k yeah. But I do think they’re coming. It just might be 2 full years OR MORE after we backed the project. Honestly, I’m still game because I want my horny comics and I love this company. I’m choosing to trust that, behind the scenes, they’re taking feverish notes on how *not* to shoot themselves in the foot so effectively in the future.

Is there an eta on these books yet?

Still no news... Your past projects have never been like this, with such a lack of communication and extreme delays. This is therefore even more disappointing : I backed because I felt confident from positive past experiences with your company. No more. Next time, I will wait for the comics to hit mass market to buy and won't waste my time crowfunding.

I would like to understand the factors behind the disconnect between "We're aiming for a Spring 2023 release date." and where we're at. Certainly supply chains have been disrupted since the pandemic. However, the extreme delay (and still without the end in sight) has been coupled up with the total lack of interaction (there is no two-way discussion). This leads me to suspect that the problems have been more about the organization than outside issues. @IronCircus - please help me understand what went wrong and what could be improved on any future projects?

They're funding other projects before this one and completing others. Any ideas on what we can do to have them hear us?

We're coming up on the end of the ETA for the last update, any news on when our books will finally be shipped?

I was really excited about this, I wanted to give one of these as a Christmas gift to my sister, thinking they would arrive a couple months after.... Maybe I will be able to give it as a gift for this Christmas... Next time I will be smarter and not support spike and just get the PDFs directly from the artists, that way I know the people who deserve it get payed, not someone who badmouths people who don't do what they want like some highschool bully (If you are wondering just Google it like I should have done before boarding this ship)

I have emailed them, DM'd them, and commented on their twitter threads. They won't answer. We need to band together and make them hear us. Please reach out on twitter. That's the only way I can imagine they will actually hear us.

I never received my poster and it’s been almost a year since the campaign ended. Did i just lose $35? I’ve always loved supporting these zines, but this may be my last time if I never receive the item I bought extra.

I want to support smaller publishers that make a point of hiring people who don't always get their voice heard at other publishers. But I hate how this crowd funding has been handled. We have been left in the dark on everything and ignored. I don't want to make a public stink on their twitter, where they actually respond to people, because I don't want to damage a brand that seems to want to do good. But I can safely say that I don't think I will crowd funding another of their books. There is no excuse. Even if they decided to finally show up and explain, it would be the same tired excuses about being a small company and busy. But this is a $200,000 project that has just been left to stew. It would have taken so little to give updates beyond "Production continues" To be clear, I don't care about the length of time. Shit happens. I care that you took our money and just decided we were not worth communicating with anymore. Crowdfunding is built on trust and community. I am glad you have had so much success with your other projects that you felt this one didn't need your attention. I am sure it won't actually impact your company, I am small potatoes and I probably one of the few that were annoyed enough to take note. But I am sad that my enthusiasm for this product and this company was so quickly sapped by the poor handling of this.

Hey everyone; for some reason Iron Circus is only posting updates of their crowdfunds here right now; https://ironcircus.com/crowdfund-roundup/ Smut Peddler is at the bottom; last update was 6/29. They listed the website on their twitter too. Hope this helps everyone here out.

It's been put into Publisher's Weekly that Iron Circus will be releasing Smut Peddler into store on August 15th of this year. Please, everyone, contact Iron Circus so we can get our physical books.

I saw smut peddler is being released in store. Can we get an update on anything going on? I still haven't received my physical copy and was charged, in full, like everyone else, for the pledge. Please update, this was such a great project with so many fantastic artist

Just curious if there is any shipping updates, thanks!
