UPDATING OCCASIONALLY (FOR NOW)

    Some friction, but yeah. IRL, I’d like these two…they should have kids. 😉

      I might have to draw out what their kid would look like. First thought is that their kid would look like Ongo Gablogian from “It’s Always Sunny In Philadelphia”

    2. Scarsdale

      He’s pushing 60, she’s maybe 30, more likely less. Chuck is most likely shooting blanks, and besides, he’s talking to her like a baby sister than a love interest.

    It is really hard to have a favorite character, as there are so many good ones. But I think Rosa is my favorite. Chuck is a good accomplice in sneaking work, but not much for romance. Uugh.

    I mean, if they don’t have at least an inkling of what’s going down, I’m actually disappointed in Clearstream. If anything, I’m starting to wonder if they caught on and realized “Wait, we can use this.”

    Because of course they can. 😉

    I’m way ahead of you – I’ve been waiting for you to catch up. From November 2020:
    I would hope for nothing less – her and Chuck have the potential for a great deal of positive mischief.
    Speaking of which, I received the email notifying me that my order for the NSFW “Chuck and Rosa Finally Do It” (age verification required) limited edition hardcover is going to be delayed due to the pandemic. I think it’s really cool that you’ll be adding some additional stretch goal goodies when it ships – thanks for all your story and art.
    As for the inscription, ” We owe it all to you ” will be sufficient.

542 – Catching Up
Posted on April 9, 2025 by Dawn

I nearly had to kick myself…

Posted on June 12, 2019 by Clint
Hey, our Kickstarter finally launched! A little later than I originally planned, but it’s live and, er… kicking… Anyhow, remember some time back when I bragged about how Volume 2 was going to be so much easier to put together because I’d learned my lessons from the first time around and this time all the issues in it were 24 pages long? No? Good. I probably shouldn’t have brought it up, huh? Well, funny story… last week we’re on the very cusp of hitting the launch button, when some gut feeling has me go through the pages again and — oh hey, Episode 15 was 28 pages. Oh. So wait, that means the 200 page book I calculated for was now looking at 196 pages of content rather than 192, and here’s the hilarious thing, that doesn’t include the covers. No room for an interior title page or introduction, and most importantly no room for the Special Thanks page where we promised to put the names of our higher-tier backers. And this is why you always double check your math before going live. Adding some more pages to the printing quote turned out to not be catastrophic, and in terms of the campaign itself just meant putting that little tilde squiggle (you know, this guy: ~) in front of 200 so that it was an approximation instead of a confident absolute. Honestly I doubt anyone would have thrown a fit over their final book having a few extra pages than indicated (less pages would be another matter). But still, it would have felt embarrassing to me to edit after the fact, and especially in regards to some stupid counting error on my part. Maybe I’m the bizarre one for getting worked up about accuracy like that in the wild and woolly world of crowdfunding where creators have been known to pull all kinds of Darth Vaderesque “alterings of the deal” up to and including just running off with all the money people entrusted to them.  But then again all those horror stories are such that I think it’s really important for us to be honest and on the level as much as possible, even with the little things.
