KICKSTARTER
In 2012, your humble gentleman cartoonist launched a Kickstarter campaign for his very first graphic novel, I Was A Teenage Michael Jackson Impersonator, without knowing how to run a Kickstarter campaign.
But with the help my trusted readers, I succeeded in reaching my funding my goal, and passed on what I learned about how to run an effective campaign on a crowd-funding site.
Long story short, tons of people asked me advice on how I did it, so I did a strip about it and made a list and sent it out. Even the Washington Post wrote about my advice. I was approached by a coupla people who said they quadrupled their campaigns after following my advice…so I’ve decided to put it all down in a zine:
This zine contains 25 sure-fire things to do for a successful crowd-funding campaign. I GUARANTEE* you’ll at least make the $$$ back you spent on the zine!!
And if you’re interested in getting more detailed feedback on your campaign before it’s launched, I will do a 15-minute consultation over Skype for $35 (cheap!!)
Go to the store page, and scroll down to order!!

It is incredibly hard for me to send an emeil to you- Yhis is probably the wrong plave. but it was the only one I could find-
First, I am not black, i am not American, and I do not live in the States but I find your strip ( on KOS) is one of the most relevent things I read. I cannot send a tip at teh moment, but I am keeping accouunts. When I can, tou have a payday coming.
The voice of the rest of us, no matter what sector we come from, is not often heard, at least not with the clarity and simplicity that you find every strip. I. for one, need that. I need to know that it is not me who is mad, but something else out there. Something is wrong, often, and it is not those of us who are simply living every day and trying to do our best.
We are not to blame in any real sense most of the time and I really want to thank tou tor reminfing me of that.
As I said, I am not black and not American but there are so many more things that count that seem to be forgotten along the way. Some have told me tht you write for an ethnic audience, and I really cannot see it. I live in Spain ( as an expatraite and a very outsidr outsider) but what you express is what I hear from all and subdry in a variety of languages and contexts and I can only assume that to be the basic humanity in all of us were we all simply open enough to see it.
Maby, myself included, try for a grandiose creation to explain the world in a way that does more credit to our own ego than the problem, or the situation itself. You have repeatedly, for me, stripprf that facade from my views; made me laugh at being so stuffy and formal in the face of what is a rather simple (human?) world. I owe you a lot

Whoa…Amazing post. Mr. Sirett! Not Just Knee Deep!!
Thank you!
Hi Keith, I’m not sure if this is the appropriate page to express my gratitude but here goes. Thanks for daring to raise the issue that farm animals are sentient creatures like our beloved dogs and cats, and that perhaps we should pay more attention to how chickens, cows, pigs, et al, get from the factory farms to our tables. I was overjoyed to see this in the San Francisco Chronicle and hope that you continue to shine a light on this very important topic that questions our attitude towards the humane treatment of animals from all walks of life. Thanks Keith!
