January 2025 Kickstarter Update: DOLLA DOLLA BILLS Y'ALL!!
And a Professional Wrestling Comic you should check out!
Hello Tribe!
The GORILLA MY DREAMS TEAM-UP #2 Kickstarter money came through at the start of the month...
... the work continues. I've paid my boy Samir Simão for the rest of the interior page art, and he is crushing it!
Here's a couple of the pages from this month!
Every page I get from Samir is a delight! I'm so lucky to have him on board.
The steps moving forward are:
Get all the interior art finished,
Get the pages to Rob for lettering,
Get lettered pages to Halftone Productions for... well... production.
Get files to Jefferies/Ka-Blam for printing and digital copies sent off via DriveThruComics.
And I'll keep you posted every step of the way.
I haven't sent the charity money to GRACE Gorillas yet. Since this campaign is opened for LATE BACKER PLEDGES, I'm ging to wait until I have a grand total of backers when the campaign is closed for good. At this point I'll be donating $103 THANKS TO EVERY SINGLE ONE OF YOU WHO BACKED OUR KICSTARTER!! By backing THE GORILLA MY DREAMS TEAM-UP #2 Kickstarter, you're helping provide a safe refuge sanctuary for Grauer’s gorillas rescued from the illegal wildlife trade.
A Real Slobberknocker #1-2: A Pro Wrestling Comic | Make 100
Pro wrestling brought Bret and Jake together. Now it will tear them apart.
Bret and Jake started their professional wrestling journey in A Real Slobberknocker #1 as a tag team called The New Kicks. They came up through the independent circuit together, but tragedy struck just when they got their shot at the big leagues. This issue has Jake debuting as a singles competitor, while Bret plays the role of his manager. As Jake rises up the ranks and pursues gold, Bret falls into the shadows, forgotten. Will their friendship survive this split? Or will resentment grow?
Let's take a look at some pages from A Real Slobberknocker #2:

If you know me, you'll know I love pro-wrestling. I'm a huge fan of our local guys here in Australia, and I even have an idea for a wrestling comic I'd like to write eventually.
The close relation between superheroes and wrestling is something I've always loved. Before we had three superhero movies in cinemas a year, before we had half a dozen weekly superhero TV shows on air at once, wrestlers were my live action superheroes: larger than life heroes and villains, flying through the air and their feats of superhuman strength!
I've always loved it!
I guess that's a long-winded way of saying back A Real Slobberknocker #2!
You won't regret it.
That's it for today. My plan is to be in touch whenever there's a little action to share. I'll talk to you real soon. Don’t forget that you can still jump on our GORILLA MY DREAMS TEAM-UP #2 Kickstarter and put in a LATE PLEDGE! I can’t wait to get this book into your hands.
I love ya, and I mean it!
Big Tim!
