Capes-n-Babes

Today’s strip continues the ongoing story arch leading up to the “official” Union of Heroes guest strip that will be appearing next week at Union of Heroes.

In other news, I am vigorously working on a new site design thanks in no small part to Phil (aka Frumph). Phil is responsible for a lot of features in the WordPress ComicPress theme and he has helped a great many webcomic creator get his/her site up and operating. He has done no less for me as well. I still have some server-side issues (updates) that I have to deal with first before I can make the re-design happen but much of the heavy work has already been done.

I want to also mention that my very first con appearance in 2010 will be at the Virginia Comic Con on February 28th in Richmond, Virginia.

Blog Post Update:
Originally, last night, I added that I was looking for help in trying to get as many Capes & Babes “You Can’t Print Flick” books in as many hands as I possibly could for 2010 and I wanted your help to make this possible in the form of a Paypal Donate button.

The more I thought about this though, I really wasn’t satisfied with that because it never really offered YOU any incentive to hit that Paypal button. I always very much appreciate trying to give extra value for one’s dollar – if you’ve ever met me at a Con, you know this. I’m all about value, value, VALUE.

And asking you to simply donate to me so i could purchase more books didn’t REALLY give you anything in return. But since that time, I’ve take a look at what Spike (the creator behind Templar, Arizona) and others have done – or are doing – with Kickstarter and that sort of thing REALLY excites me as it allows a creator to offer a wide variety of different incentives to get people involved in the project. I personally believe this is a win-win for the fan and the creator. The creator gets money to support his/her project and the fan not only gets the thrill of knowing he or she helped finance a project but they also have physical proof that they did so in terms of merchandise or original art.

Soon, I will be posting a Kickstarter project not only for “You Can’t print Flick” but the second follow-up book which I’ve already named “You STILL Can’t Print Flick”. The second book is quite a few strips away from even thinking about starting but at least I already have a working title though, right?

If you have any questions, comments or praise about going the Kickstarter way, please, I want to know what you all think so by all means, feel free to leave a comment below.

Sincerely,

Chris Flick
