It has been an exciting weekend. First and foremost, the RUNNERS Volume 3 Kickstarter campaign officially crossed the funding goal on day 3!! I am extremely happy about the initial rush of backers and can’t believe we reached the goal that quickly. Hopefully people will continue to discover the campaign for the next few weeks.

As a side note, I don’t think I will be able to do much on the convention circuit in the coming year (or more), so if you are interested in picking up Volume 3, the Kickstarter will probably be the best way to do it. I will also be listing it on my store afterwards, but conventions might not be much of an option.

In addition to that exciting news, I was also in Boston last week attending the 79th Annual Reuben Awards, where I was nominated for the Divisional Award of Best Online Comic – Long Form! The award ended up going to David Milgrim, a local friend of mine who also happened to be nominated in the same category. Congrats, David!

While I didn’t win, it truly was amazing for the series to be recognized with a nomination, so I am very happy about that. Plus, I got to spend a nice weekend in Boston with my wife Peggy, and I even got to get spiffy in a suit for the night.

While in town for the Reubens, I also got to join Brad Guigar and Dave Kellett for a live recording of their awesome podcast Comic Lab, which I highly recommend. We were joined by Cassidy Wasserman and Jason Chatfield for a great talk on making money in comics and cartooning, but it also touched upon many other topics. Look for that episode to post in the coming weeks.

It was a fantastic weekend, but now it’s back to work. Don’t forget to check out the Kickstarter campaign, which runs until September 10, and keep spreading the word!
