We're thrilled to share some exciting news about our latest crowdfunder! While we understand there might be some similarities to our previous 5-issue mini-series, we wanted to highlight the key differences: Larger Format: All issues will be reprinted in a stunning 9x12 size for an enhanced reading experience. Improved Content: We're taking this opportunity to carefully edit each issue for errors, ensuring the best possible product. Expanded Extras: Get ready for even more bonus content! New Letter Column: We're revamping the letter column with a fresh introduction. We believe these enhancements will make this crowdfunder an even more rewarding experience for all of you. Thank you for your continued support!

We charge weight based, calculated when you check out. The estimated fee for a sketchbook is $10 USA which includes shipping, full insurance and new packing materials. See the campaign story for further details.

Here's a cool deal: imagine you support us AND our friends at Baker Cat Studios (they make awesome stuff too!). Well, if you back both of us, you'll get a FREE trading card set as a thank you for being super awesome and supporting two creative projects at once! It's like getting a bonus gift for being a double supporter! Because our project is linked with Baker Cat Studios, post campaign Backerkit will find out who backed BOTH and add the trading card set to their order! Baker Cat Studios does not accept international orders. Back them at the DIGITAL level and us at the MAILED level and we will ship the set to you!

If you wish to back our partner, Red Skirts, who is not accepting international orders, back their digital bundle. Post campaign, anyone who backs a MAILED level with us and a DIGITAL level with them, we will be adding your trading card set to the carts on our checkout! Nothing else needed on your part.

After publishing the Coming of Gourmando in standard paperback size, we learned from our mistake and will not be doing that again. The Coming of Gourmando Collected Edition will be 9"x12". A good size for the TPB. We hope to do well with this and build a community on Patreon. With that goal in mind we hope to have the following books for each series: (1) Comic Book: Though this is a little small, it gets us in the door for FCBD comics (2) Paperback: These will always be 9"x12" moving forward (3) Oversized Edition: This will be a 12" x 17" hardcover similar to the color section of Gourmando and include all the colored pages plus any extra strips (like "Out There") (4) Artists Edition: This will be 12" x 17" and feature only the pencils and inks from the series (5) Limited Edition Set: This will collect both the Oversized and Artists Edition into one larger set, both books will be signed by Steve. It will include a single slipcase and will be shrinkwrapped.

No, unfortunately, it currently only counts new backers. That new backer can back for as little as $1 though! According to Backer Kit: "...your campaign will keep going for an additional 10 minutes ... as long as pledges keep coming in – a chain of back-to-back pledges we call the Backer Train... the Backer Train stops where a period of 10 minutes passes without any pledges..."

BackerKit Crowdfunding is an all-or-nothing collaborative funding platform. Creators share their project ideas and set a funding goal with a deadline. Backers pledge money to help make the project possible.

If the project meets its goal by the deadline, pledges are charged and the creator moves forward. If it doesn’t, no one is charged.

Pledging in crowdfunding is a commitment to support the creation of a new product or project. Unlike a traditional purchase, you're not buying an item that already exists. Instead, your contribution helps bring a creative idea to life, and in return, you typically receive rewards (such as the product itself) as a thank you for your early support.

1. Select a pledge level with the reward(s) you would like to receive
2. Select any add-ons
3. Confirm your pledge!

• You are charged only if the campaign meets its funding goal.
• Charges happen when the campaign ends, not when you pledge.

After the campaign ends, you'll receive a survey to pay for any applicable shipping fees, calculated based on your shipping address.

Pay Over Time allows you to split your pledge into multiple payments over a set period. Your card will be charged according to the payment schedule (four monthly payments). Only available for projects that enable this feature. Learn More »

Only the project creator and the BackerKit Support Team can see your pledge and contact information. Other backers and the public cannot see your individual pledge amount or personal details.

You can change or adjust your pledge level and add-ons before the campaign ends. After the project concludes, cancellations or changes are at the creator's discretion and may depend on what stage the project is in.

Overtime Mode extends your campaign past its original end time to give backers a final chance to make their pledge. It will add an additional 10 minutes past the end time as long as pledges keep coming in. The campaign will end when there is a 10-minute period without any new pledges.

For specific questions about your pledge or the project, you can view the Project FAQ below, search for your answer within the project, or send a message to the BackerKit Support Team or to the project creator.
