Surviving the World: A Photocomic Education: "Best Of" Book

Created by Dante Shepherd

Surviving the World is ending, and to celebrate the end of 10+ years and 3500+ comics, we're doing a "best of" book collection!

Latest Updates from Our Project:

STW Book Updates and Raisin Torture
about 5 years ago – Sun, Mar 10, 2019 at 05:17:44 PM

At this point, we have sent out basically all the books and prints and everything to all of you filled out your backer survey!  Hopefully you have enjoyed the book as much as is humanly possible.  I don't know what that last sentence means but I'm sure it means something good.

We have some additional copies of the book, which we are now available at Topatoco, so if you want an additional copy, you can get one!

In other updates - the highest tier reward in the Kickstarter was the pleasure of forcing me to eat a pound of raisins.  Which are easily my most hated food.  But, hey, can't put it off forever:

This is A LOT of raisins, by the way.

Anyway, jump-cut to the end:

And now I plan to never do that ever again.

So. Much. Signing!

this is only half the workload!
this is only half the workload!

 I took a trip over to Make That Thing and got to see the books in person, and went about signing as many of them as I could while my hand fell off, in a good way!

Seriously, these books came out so very nice, I could cry.

And the inside looks really good, too! (Which I imagine you would expect and kind of demand, to be honest.)

 Beyond that, the prints look good, the brains look good, the personalized slate were pretty fun to do, too!

At this point, if you have responded to the Backerkit survey and didn't want anything personalized, your goods will probably ship this week.  If you wanted something personalized and responded before Tuesday morning, then those will likely ship this week, too.  

If you wanted something personalized but responded to the Backerkit after Tuesday morning or still haven't responded - my current plan is to do one last trip before the holidays to Make That Thing, by driving in on Monday morning and dropping off a supply.  If you complete your survey by Sunday, I will be able to get your books and assorted extras to them in time.  Otherwise, you will likely have to wait until sometime in January.

Overall, thank you all so very much for making this a possibility.  This past Saturday marked six months since the end of STW, and it's been strangely touching to revisit the end of the comic like this knowing it meant a lot to many of you, too.

Keep checking your emails, because digital goods will be on the way soon!
