I made a late Thanksgiving Eve trip to deliver all "Elephant Eater Comics Annual Dispatch" orders from last month's crowd-funding campaign. The pre-order status has been lifted from my website ( elephanteater.com/comics ) and orders placed will ship very quickly. Shop small and local!

Did you miss the month of campaigning for my new publication? Don't fret! You can still pre-order your copy on my website. The button on the Kickstarter page even takes you straight there! www.AnnualDispatch.com

Final couple hours of the campaign for my inaugural annual newspaper art book, in case anyone wants in on a great deal (50% more pages than originally projected at NO EXTRA COST): www.AnnualDispatch.com

Just did my final night liveStream to celebrate a successful campaign and spotlight some fellow creators. If you catch this announcement soon, you can still get in on the excitement over at wwwDOTannualdispatchDOTcom ! See ya there! www.youtube.com/watch?v=7nph...

In these final hours of my campaign, I'm looking forward to going live with a number of talented creators to spotlight the projects THEY have live on Kickstarter and perhaps even some surprises for backers of my campaign. See you tonight at 7:30pm Eastern LIVE on my YouTube channel.

Last chance! :)

We may be roughly 24 hours away from the end of my Annual Dispatch campaign, but I'd like to go out with a bang, not only by celebrating the success of the 'Dispatch Kickstarter, but by shining a light on several talented folks with currently running comics campaigns! Join me tomorrow (Oct 28th)!

Time's running out and with ALL stretch goals achieved making the publication 50% LONGER than originally promised at NO EXTRA COST to existing or new backers...there's no better time to jump in. URL on image.

We're in the final few days of the campaign for my latest book! Thanks to many backers helping to achieve a variety of stretch goals, the publication will now be printed with 50% MORE PAGES at NO EXTRA COST TO ANYONE! Jump in before the campaign ends! (Link on the graphic.)

Just went live to talk about my currently running campaign for my new publication, and give away another gift to one lucky backer o' mine! Just a few more days to head over to www(DOT)AnnualDispatch(DOT)com ...see you there! www.youtube.com/live/0uujwKT...

All stretch goals have been achieved, allowing the inaugural issue of the Annual Dispatch to have 50% more pages than originally projected (now 48-pages, rather than 32), at no additional cost to any backers. Back the project at the URL on the image, BUT HURRY...there's only a few days to do so!

Hey, @jonsimantov.bsky.social , I loved my time on Crany Cove. Even managed to complete it over the past couple weeks. My co-hosts and I also discussed it in depth on our latest episode of the "Hello @play.date Podcast" sites.libsyn.com/412607/pdman... ! Thanks for making such a polished experience!

Alright, who's gonna be our first triple-digit backer? URL on the image! See ya there. :)

Don't think I've mentioned this, but we hit ANOTHER stretch goal for my new book campaign (bringing it up to 12 additional pages at no extra cost), and we're SOOO CLOSE to YET ANOTHER 4 pages, making the book 50% longer than originally projected! Project URL on the image! See you there.

Started the final day of Pinball Expo by moderating a seminar with the fantastic folks behind the P.A.P.A. Tournament which not only honors the life and legacy of Lyman F. Sheats Jr, but also brings attention to mental health awareness and suicide prevention. #988Lifeline is available to help 24/7.

None other than THE Pinball Degenerate himself, Joe Ciaravino, himself picked up a copy of Nicholas Baldridge 's Vic-20 cartridge for our co-designed game, "Robo-Frenzy" with my illustrated box and instruction art! Hope you love it! I have ONE MORE copy with me at Pinball Expo. Who's gonna nab it?

I'll be set up at Pinball Expo in Chicago for the next several days and I'll even have the only (proof) copy of my upcoming publication for folks to flip through! If you can't check it out at Expo, you can always head over to... www.AnnualDispatch.com

In case you've not heard, I received some humbling news that my most recent book, "One Bite at a Time," received another award nomination, this time for Best Presentation in Design from the 2025 @ringoawards.bsky.social . Industry folks can vote anytime before October 18th, 2025.

Mr Jones Watches just rolled out a new case design today, and my "Ricochet" design was one of the first three watches to receive it. The newly designed case shores up that gap considerably. Now, Ricochet is offered in this more compact lug design, which you can find here: tinyurl.com/ricochetwatch
