Only about 48 hours left!
Yes, in two days, at 12 noon ET USA, the Kickstarter campaign for "The Adventures of Simone & Ajax" will end! Thanks to everyone who backed it and/or spread the word about it. We've more than doubled our goal, which is great! And we've met a number of Stretch Goals, but there's still time to meet more goals:
$26,000: We're so close to meeting this one for the PDF of the Simone & Ajax newspaper comic strip proposal, on which the first two stories in the book are based, going to both physical and fell-book digital backers.
$30,000: Color, printed endpapers for the hardcover book, rather than blank white, for a quality finishing-touch to the book.
Plus we still have our last Incentive Goal: If we sell out of Commission level pledges I'll make up a PDF of a selection of the drawings, so you can see the art you made happen.
There's still time to pledge if you haven't, and there's still time to tell your friends and to share the news on social media. Please share the link: https://bit.ly/simoneandajax. Also, please feel free to share any of the posts from:
And please Like/Follow those pages while you're there.
More updates as things happen! Thanks again!
Yours in adventure!

Simone & Ajax passes $25,000!
The Kickstarter passed $25,000! And we're getting closer to the $26,000 Stretch Goal of the Simone & Ajax comic strip PDF for full-book digital backers and all physical backers! Thanks to you and well over 300 backers this book is happening! We'll be able to pay for printing, production, colors, shipping, and more! Plus you'll get fun prints, and you can see where some of the stories began with this next Stretch Goal. We're heading into the final weekend of the campaign, and with only a few days left I'm asking you to please keep sharing the campaign with your friends and on social media. Please use the link: https://bit.ly/simoneandajax
New Stretch Goal!
With the next Stretch Goal being close and only a few days left to the Kickstarter, it's time to announce the $30,000 Stretch Goal! If we hit that goal there's one more upgrade to the book I want to make: Color, printed end-papers! I want to give you a book you'll look at and think "Wow! This looks great!" Instead of blank, white end-papers, this last touch will make for a top-quality book from cover to cover that I'll be so proud to share with you.
Plus we're still working towards the Incentive Goal of the Sketch Collection PDF if we sell out of the Commission pledges by the time the campaign closes.
Remember, we only have until 12 noon ET USA on Wednesday the 14th, just 5 days from now. Please keep spreading the world. Thanks so much for being a believer!
Yours in adventure!

over 4 years ago
– Mon, Oct 05, 2020 at 01:32:24 PM
Announcing the Third and Final Incentive Goal! We're getting closer to the end of the campaign, and over 30 of the commission level pledges have been made (Thank you!) of the 50 available. If we sell out of all 50 by the end of the campaign I'll send out a PDF collection of a sampling of the commissions done to all physical and all full-collection digital backers. See the extra art you helped make happen! Yes, you will have to option to opt out of yours being shared, but I hope many of you will be up for sharing the fun.
In the meantime, there's still over a week to go, stretch goals to be met, and I'd love to have a reason to announce the $30K Stretch Goal, so please keep spreading the word about Simone & Ajax. More backers means more people getting some silliness and adventure! Thanks to all of you for pledging and sharing! We now have 300 backers! It means a lot to me to have so many people helping me make this dream project happen. Please share the link https://bit.ly/simoneandajax

Simone & Ajax Add-Ons (NEW!) and Stretch Goals!
over 4 years ago

ANNOUNCING ADD-ONS!
Kickstarter has now approved this campaign for it's new, trial ADD-ON feature. If you pledge for a physical reward level that doesn't come with a signature or signature and doodle, such as the Mystery Box or Commission level, once you pick your reward you will now be offered the chance to ADD-ON either of those items for $5 for signature only or $10 for signature and doodle. If you've already pledged, it's easy to add! Please check your reward description first to see if you need to do anything. Please click on "Manage My Pledge," then click on "Change Pledge." Choose your same option, and this time you will be offered the signature and signature/doodle options. If you have any problem/questions please contact me. We can arrange something.
NEW STRETCH GOALS
We're still working towards the $23,000 goal of TWO more full-color, Simone & Ajax prints, but now for the next one to be added: At $26,000 all digital backers of the full-collection and all physical backers at all levels will get a PDF collection of the S&A newspaper strip proposal. The first two stories in this book are based on the stories I wrote for this proposal, so see where it all began. Yes, this is the same PDF as was offered in Incentive Goal #2. We didn't quite reach the goal needed for that, but I really think you'll enjoying see Simone & Ajax and these stories in this different format, so I'm now making it a stretch goal.

There are still almost two weeks to go on this campaign, so I could still use help getting the word out about this fun book. If you're following/backing this book, you believe in it, so please share with others on social media and elsewhere using the link: https://bit.ly/simoneandajax
Thanks so much for your help and support!
Simone & Ajax Strip! (comic strip, that is)
over 4 years ago
– Tue, Sep 29, 2020 at 09:52:02 PM
Two of the stories in this new Simone & Ajax comics collection, "Hi-Seas Hi-Jinx" and "Tremblin' Tumbleweeds," are inspired by a Simone & Ajax newspaper comic-strip proposal I started a number of years ago. After the success of last week's first Incentive Goal for the Ajax keychain, today we start our second Incentive Goal! I'm asking all you who have already backed the campaign to tell your friends about the fun of Simone & Ajax, and I'm asking all you who have been debating pledging to pledge, because if we get 25 NEW pledges, at the complete digital edition or any physical level,in 2 days, between now and by 12 noon ET on Wednesday September 30th, then ALL backers who have backed at those levels will get a PDF collection of the roughly 40 comic strips that inspired these stories! Backers, please tell the world about the fun of Simone & Ajax, so I can get you this fun extra. Those who haven't yet pledged, please pledge, so everyone can get this. Remember, there's a time limit on this, so please do what you can soon by sharing the link: https://bit.ly/simoneandajax
We've now met the first FOUR Stretch Goals! So the book is now a hardcover, now with spot gloss effects on the cover, and all physical backers get a Plague Doctor Ajax print. We're just hit the next Stretch Goal at $20,000, so all physical backers will now get TWO more full-color Simone & Ajax prints, the previously-shown Pirate one and a Goth/Transylvania one. I'll have more Stretch Goal rewards to announce soon!
As I've said, I can't do this without your help, so please keep spreading the word about this fun book and share the link https://bit.ly/simoneandajax. Thanks so much for your support!
