Is there a difference between this and the individual miniseries comics?
We’re thrilled to share some exciting news about our latest crowdfunder! While we understand there might be some similarities to our previous 5-issue mini-series, we wanted to highlight the key differences:
Larger Format: All issues will be reprinted in a stunning 9x12 size for an enhanced reading experience.
Improved Content: We’re taking this opportunity to carefully edit each issue for errors, ensuring the best possible product.
Expanded Extras: Get ready for even more bonus content!
New Letter Column: We’re revamping the letter column with a fresh introduction.
We believe these enhancements will make this crowdfunder an even more rewarding experience for all of you.
Thank you for your continued support!

How do I get the trading card set?
Here’s a cool deal: imagine you support us AND our friends at Baker Cat Studios (they make awesome stuff too!). Well, if you back both of us, you’ll get a FREE trading card set as a thank you for being super awesome and supporting two creative projects at once! It’s like getting a bonus gift for being a double supporter!
Because our project is linked with Baker Cat Studios, post campaign Backerkit will find out who backed BOTH and add the trading card set to their order!
Baker Cat Studios does not accept international orders. Back them at the DIGITAL level and us at the MAILED level and we will ship the set to you!

I'm Interantional, can I get the trading card bundle?
If you wish to back our partner, Red Skirts, who is not accepting international orders, back their digital bundle.
Post campaign, anyone who backs a MAILED level with us and a DIGITAL level with them, we will be adding your trading card set to the carts on our checkout! Nothing else needed on your part.

What size is the paperback? Big I hope!
After publishing the Coming of Gourmando in standard paperback size, we learned from our mistake and will not be doing that again. The Coming of Gourmando Collected Edition will be 9”x12”. A good size for the TPB.
We hope to do well with this and build a community on Patreon. With that goal in mind we hope to have the following books for each series:
(1) Comic Book: Though this is a little small, it gets us in the door for FCBD comics (2) Paperback: These will always be 9”x12” moving forward (3) Oversized Edition: This will be a 12” x 17” hardcover similar to the color section of Gourmando and include all the colored pages plus any extra strips (like “Out There”) (4) Artists Edition: This will be 12” x 17” and feature only the pencils and inks from the series (5) Limited Edition Set: This will collect both the Oversized and Artists Edition into one larger set, both books will be signed by Steve. It will include a single slipcase and will be shrinkwrapped.

Will upgrading my pledge keep the Backer Train going?
No, unfortunately, it currently only counts new backers. That new backer can back for as little as $1 though! According to Backer Kit: “…your campaign will keep going for an additional 10 minutes … as long as pledges keep coming in – a chain of back-to-back pledges we call the Backer Train… the Backer Train stops where a period of 10 minutes passes without any pledges…”

When will the hardcover be available?
We plan to do a crowdfunder for the oversized hardcover edition once our Patreon count (free included) reaches 1,000. Until then we don’t feel it could be properly funded as the Gourmando edition with shipping ran around $75,000.

Where do I get my downloads?
We distribute digital rewards post campaign via BackerKit. You still need to complete checkout to receive your rewards as this verifies you email. NOTE: If you log in using APPLE and HIDE your email address you WILL NOT receive any post campaign updates as Apple blocks them. Please unlock your email or email us via Kickstarter private message with your correct email. You are never added to a mailing list, we use the email strictly for updates, checkout instructions, and shipped notifications.

Why did we not get the trading card set?
Unfortunetly, our partner did not fund so nobody got the set. We are pleased to let you know that we do plan to publish the cards in the future. Visit us on Patreon for the lastest news and updates!

Last Updated At: 08/15/24 | See Backerkit Crowdfunding UpdateWhat is BackerKit?
BackerKit is a service that crowdfunded project creators use to keep track of hundreds to tens of thousands of backers—from shipping details, pledge levels, preferences and quantities, whether they have paid or had their card declined, special notes, and everything in between!
The BackerKit software and support team is independent from the campaign’s project team—BackerKit does not handle the actual reward shipping. For more information about the preparation or delivery status of your rewards, please check the project's updates page.
How does BackerKit work?
After the campaign ends, the project creator will send you an email with a unique link to your survey. You can check out a walkthrough of the process here.
I never received my invitation. How do I complete the survey?
The most common reasons for not receiving a survey email is that you may be checking an email inbox different from the email address you used to sign up with Kickstarter, Indiegogo or Tilt Pro account, or it may be caught in your spam filter.
Confirm that the email address you are searching matches the email address tied to your Kickstarter, Indiegogo, or Tilt Pro account. If that doesn’t work, then try checking your spam, junk or promotions folders. You can also search for "backerkit” in your inbox.
To resend the survey to yourself, visit the project page and input the email address associated with your Kickstarter, Indiegogo or Tilt Pro account.
How do I update my shipping address?
BackerKit allows you to update your shipping address until the shipping addresses are locked by the project creator. To update your address, go back to your BackerKit survey by inputting your email here.
When will my order be shipped, charged or locked?
That is handled directly by the project creator. BackerKit functions independently of the project itself, so we do not have control of their physical shipping timeline. If you want to check on the project’s status, we recommend reading over the project's updates page.
I completed the survey, but haven't received my rewards yet. When will they arrive?
As BackerKit does not actually handle any rewards or shipping, the best way to stay updated on the shipping timeline would be to check out the project's updates page.
