Comic Transcripts

[[A frustrated-looking man stares at his arm hair.]]
Edwin: I’ve been trying to grow out my arm hair for YEARS now!
Edwin: I want to braid it! I’ve wanted to for AGES!
Edwin: But it only gets SO long… and then… just… STOPS!

[[A bald man joins the conversation.]]
Edwin: What TELLS it to stop growing? I shout at it every day to KEEP growing and it doesn’t LISTEN!
Hair Scientist: It IS growing. It’s just that your arm hair SHEDS faster than some other types of hair.

Hair Scientist: The length of hair is only determined by how much time it’s given to grow before it falls off. Arm hairs fall off more readily than do head hairs, or beard hairs.
Hair Scientist: But they ARE growing. Every day, little by little. Creeping, SLIDING out of your pores, all over your ARMS, all over your BODY.
Hair Scientist: Every SINGLE second, MILLIONS OF TINY HAIRS are INDEED SQUEEZING THEMSELVES out of your skin.

[[Edwin lies in bed, apparently unable to sleep, eyes wide in terror.]]

My US inventory of games is now in-country, but still being staged at the fulfillment centers. It’s being distributed to regional warehouses, so the actual shipping to backers happens more efficiently. I hope the bulk of US shipping will start next week.

These are what the cartons (and games) look like!

I am also waiting on the bonus cards to be finished printing! I ended up needing many more of those than I had anticipated, so I decided to have the game factory print those too, for perfect matching with the base game cards.

Most people will be receiving two separate mailings: the game itself, and “anything else” (bonus cards and/or add-ons) which will be sent by me personally.

As of today, 86% of backers have completed their surveys so far! That’s pretty good, but it’s not everyone. I know YOU PERSONALLY have already completed YOURS though, so no worries!!

We have now moved OFF of Kickstarter and ONTO BackerKit for any new orders. You can bundle a game with basically anything else I sell on that there website, it’s pretty nuts!
