Hey, folks!
Long time no update! That only makes sense, I suppose, given that the comic has finished.
But has it?
As you can see above, I am now colorizing and updating the lettering for the book, slowly but surely. Jordan Peters is doing the colors, I’m tweaking the words. If you want in, a one dollar monthly pledge at the Patreon gets you two pages a week, along with essays, short stories, and a ton of other good stuff.

Hey, folks! If you can, please support our efforts to make a trade for the FINAL year of Cura here, at the Cura Te Ipsum Year Five Kickstarter!
http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/862707357/cura-te-ipsum-year-five
We hope you can come along for the ride with us. If we manage to get this trade made, it puts us in a secure position to make the follow-up to Cura, The Domain, which looks like this (woo!):
It is an ambitious follow up, full color, and we’d love to bring it your way. Please help, if you can, and spread the word!
Thanks!
Comments Off on Cura Year Five is Kickstarting RIGHT NOW!
(crossposted to the Cura site, the mailing list, and the Patreon)
Check that out! It’s the cover to Year Five. Pretty awesome, no? I love how Dark Everett and Prime make a mushroom cloud. Dex really killed it!
Now that we have covers finalized, and the pages are locked, we are going to Kickstart Cura Te Ipsum Year Five in print on MAY NINTH!
This year we made a few changes, reflecting what we learned last year. We’re going back to the old printer, and we’ve got a much more modest, more easily achievable goal of $4,500.
If we are successful, we get an awesome book to share with you all. If we go OVER our modest goal, we can take some of those funds and apply them directly to the next comic, The Domain What’s The Domain? Well, as Patreon folks already know, The Domain is a story about humanity’s future, once we’ve conquered the stars, but not the greed and selfishness that drove us from Earth in the first place.
You’ll hear more about that soon, but for now, if you could set your chronometers and tweet-majiggers and the Book of Faces to help us have a bang-up first day, we’d REALLY appreciate it, because the first day of a Kick is the most important. We will have the standard fare of the previous Kickstarters, but if there’s anything you’d like to see outside of that, now’s the time to speak up!
If you have any questions at all, feel free to ask. Otherwise, enjoy a parting look at the hardcover! It’s by far my favorite of the five thusfar, and gives you an idea of how the coloring will look for The Domain, as well.
Comments Off on Cura Year Five Kickstarts MAY NINTH!
Thanks to a generous Patreon contribution, we are now at over $100 a month. That means that our first goal has been met, and therefore, all ads have been removed! I’m kind of glad, because though I met some cool people through their ads, I’m not a big fan of advertisement. That said, I am a big fan of spreading the word about other comic, and I don’t want to stop, so if you have one, let me know.
For those of you who read my last, long post, thank you. I am also not a fan of TL;DR, but I do know that was a long slog. I will make this one briefer.
1) We are definitely doing at least one issue of Dysphoria. The response justifies that. Thank you to the folks who signed up for the mailing list, and to the folks who pledged to the Patreon. Please spread the word.
2) At risk of sounding like OPB, we need to raise more, and the more we raise, the more we can do. I do not have cool mugs like OPB, but I am, however, in possession of some extra pages that Dex and I have banked. I think I am going to make a series of smaller, closer, related goals for the Patreon that involve increasing the number of pages per week at a certain level. If there is a thing stopping you from contributing to the Patreon (aside from being broke, which is of course fine, I know the feeling), please let me know what you’d like to see.
3) As I will be informing the Patreon folk very shortly, depending on your time contributing, trades for Year Five will be coming for free. That’s not something I’m writing into the Patreon at present, but I am considering it for future work. It’s just something I’m deciding to do outside of the commitment Patreon offers. As such, if you were to know that trades would come with a Patreon contribution, would that motivate you to join?
Bottom line, I am looking for the best way to motivate you to contribute so that you can be pleased and I can continue this comic, and start the next one. I’m being as transparent and available as I can, but I need to know what folks want so I can cater to that, so please, raise your voice!
