Dear awesome ABC DISGUSTING backers,

Thank you SO MUCH for your support! We're in the last 41 hours of the campaign, and you've blown through our first three stretch goals!

You got us past $26,000, so now everyone who picks a physical reward gets a super-sized, 6"x9" sticker sheet of disgusting things drawn by Tak!

You got us past $28,000, so Tak, Jessica, Jane and I all posted videos of ourselves eating bananas with ketchup! Check 'em all out here: http://gregpak.com/greg-eats-banana-with-ketchup-for-the-abc-disgusting-kickstarter/ 

And we're now just $11 from $30,000, which will allow us to hook every backer up with an mp3 of an "ABC Disgusting" theme song to be written and recorded by the great Jane Lui! Check out this interview with Jane to find out what she's planning: http://gregpak.com/jane-luis-gross-plans-for-an-abc-disgusting-song/ 

And now, in our last hours, we're shooting for the moon...

...if we hit $40,000, Tak and I will make a WHOLE 'NOTHER BOOK with black and white illustrations and deliver it to everyone in digital form! Tonight we're thrilled to announce this new book will be KAIJU CLUBHOUSE, a chapter book that features the brother and sister from ABC DISGUSTING as they hunt for monsters -- and get the surprise of their lives!

Tak calls it "a book about the unexpected -- for both the kids and monsters!" Check out the preview art below, colored by the great Jessica Kholinne!

If ABC DISGUSTING hits $40,000 on Kickstarter, every backer will get the digital KAIJU CLUBHOUSE chapter book, written by Greg Pak with black-and-white illustrations by Tak Miyazawa!

Aaaand one more bit of news -- I've added a $175 "BREAKFAST WITH GREG AT THE NEW YORK COMICON" reward, which also includes the limited edition variant cover of the book!

Hello, awesome ABC DISGUSTING backers!

So with just under two weeks left for the Kickstarter, you've gotten us over $20K and up to 84 percent funded! We hugely appreciate it -- and we've got some awesome stretch goals in mind, so please do keep spreading the word and we may have a shot at some awesome add-ons for everyone!

Other fun stuff... I've gotten a bunch of requests for Kickstarter advice recently, so last night I posted a list of 22 Kickstarter tips for anyone thinking of launching a crowdfunding project. You can check it out here: http://gregpak.com/greg-paks-kickstarter-primer/

And Tak has continued to churn out amazing pencils for the book! Feast your eyes on some new art below. And in the next few days, we should have a colored preview of the first few pages of the book to share with everyone! 

Thanks again for everything and please do share the ABCDisgusting.com link with any friends you think might enjoy the book.

You're the best! Thanks so much!
