Okay. I'm totally blown away. I figured we'd hit the base goal at some point but didn't expect 3.5 hours after launch.

Profound thanks to everyone who backed this thing so far.

Btw we have a Dan Parent (!) variant on this issue.

Here is, also, an image of Toxie's head being split in half by a chainsaw.

I appreciate that and realize sometimes the pre-order business isn't cut and dried if you don't have a brick and mortar shop nearby.

A good place to order my comics online in Canada is Knowhere in Toronto, they have a lot of signed copies:

I don't know the best places in the US, but most places do online orders now and you can look up a shop near you here:

Can you link to a seller? I've tried my normal site and a few others and can't seem to find anywhere I can pre-order it.
