Ringtail Cafe Kickstarter is LIVE! Donate and get AWESOME rewards!
April 19, 2012
The Ringtail Cafe kickstarter is now live!
Ringtail Cafe is the brainchild of two friends who got together one day and decided to produce a comic. Through all the trials and tribulations, they forged on and created Ringtail Cafe Productions, an independent small press publishing company that specialises in comics and magazines.
In this issue: When Adam takes the rescued orphans on an outing to a baseball game, they run afoul of some NEXT Goons. This issue marks the first appearance of Candystripe and the HERO Taskforce.
Ringtail Cafe #6 is the first new issue of the book to be produced in two years. It features art by Cindy Ramey (Starfire Agency, Nightshift) Story by Darren Mueller (The Confectionaries) and an excellent script by Elizabeth Stein.
As the studio grows, the focus is ever more on mainstream comics and distribution. A fully anthropomorphic book such as Ringtail Cafe has always been an uphill battle to justify the time, effort and expense of printing in large quantities, for widespread distribution. This kickstarter is not just about making an issue happen, it is about helping anthropomorphic comics become more mainstream staples in comic shops and book stores.
We have a lot of fun baseball themed rewards, including custom baseball cards and even personalized RTC baseball jerseys and even appearances in the upcoming issue of the comic. In addition to all of those rewards, if we pass the $2,500 mark, we’ll be throwing in some additional reward items so keep an eye out on the page and we’ll keep everyone informed of how things are going.
There are many rewards available for joining in on the kickstarter, the more you pitch in the greater the rewards!
