It's been a while since we had a big double-page spread like this! I'm so happy with it. I have more lore for these guys than I'll be able to get into the comic. I love them. So I did a lot of waving my arms around, talking a lot, and scribbling nonsense on scratch paper trying to describe what they should look like. Phil drew a fantastic picture, and Cheyenne...well...Cheyenne took it and made it ten times better than we thought possible. Here's a big round of applause for the color artist, folks! Yaaaaaay! BACKERKIT SURVEY EMAILS ARE NOW GOING LIVE!

We are beginning to send out the BackerKit surveys, so please watch for the email in your inbox or spam folder.

We are starting with the "smoke test" which sends out 5% of the emails to test the system. After that, they'll all go out. So, if you backed Queens and Pirates, look for yours today or tomorrow. ABOUT THE PDFS:

The PDF links for backers of the Queens and Pirates Kickstarter went out in emails from DriveThruComics back in September. If you didn't get it, (check your Spam folders!) we are happy to resend. Don't trust comments to be seen, though, please contact us through the Queens and Pirates campaign page (click on "Created by Studio Foglio" in the upper right to find the blue "contact me" button) to be sure we see your message. A WHOLE PILE OF WHAT'S NEW ORIGINALS FOR SALE ON EBAY!

We're not involved in this in any way, but I stumbled upon this over on eBay: SeaDragon Treasures is selling a LOT of Phil's old What's New originals, plus at least one illustration from Robert Asprin's MYTH novels. Please go have a look, it's a great chance to pick up one of Phil's old, iconic works from back in the day. We hope they do well for you, O Mighty Sea Dragon. --Kaja
