The cast of characters in SOUP (in my humble opinion) is the best group I’ve come up with for a comic.
Meet a few of them (and maybe back it if you haven’t already) here: www.kickstarter.com/projects/ste...
Thanks!

Very sad to hear that our fellow Scottish comics publisher Quindrie Press is closing.
@evegwood.com has done brilliantly over the last few years to elevate marginal voices and push the medium of comics forward in this country.

There's still plenty of time, so I've added a couple of stretch goals.

An update on this: unfortunately I’ve had to pull out of Thought Bubble for much the same reason as LICAF.
I’m currently needed at home as my partner is ill.
I will still be at TAGS though on the 26th October, so hopefully see you there.
