Promotional.
The concluding page of this current storyline posts tomorrow, which means we’ll be entering into our between-Issue break. Normally this lasts two weeks, but the busy nature of the final pages and the schedule Garth keeps to produce pages on a Monday-Wednesday-Friday basis means that we’ll be taking a three week break before we begin our next storyline. As our $10+/month Patreon patrons know from the script pages we’ve already posted, the next story is going to be bananas.
We’ll also be launching our fourth(!) Kickstarter next week, and it will be to fund the printing of this story into our fourth book! Support for our Kickstarter campaigns has been tremendous, and we thank you all for your continued generosity! But it means that we’re going to be promoting this Kickstarter a lot. And by “a lot” I mean “constantly.” And by “constantly” I mean “constantly.” This is the business side of webcomics, where you have to beat everyone you love over the head with news of your crowdfunding campaign multiple times a day, every day, until the campaign is over. So instead of the usual between-Issue lore filler, we’ll be promoting the hell out of our Book 4 Kickstarter campaign because that’s what you have to do.
It won’t be all Kickstarter promotion, though. We’ll vary things up a little by also promoting our Patreon page and our other merchandise already available through our Shark Robot storefront! Writing stories and creating worlds is the joy of webcomics, but it’s not all there is to this career. Every so often, if not very often, you have to promote yourself because no one else will do it for you.
We hope you like tomorrow’s conclusion to this story, and we hope you will have liked this storyline enough to make Book 4 happen for us, and for you.
