Hey all! We're a few days late on this month's update because we have officially fallen in the mighty manic vortex known as The Last Leg of Production!
Steve has knocked the ball out of the park with his pencils and (as the chart below shows) he's nearly completed his duties, having penciled up to page 24 (of 26!). Zach just completed one of the coolest double pages spreads of the series (also featured below). And Nelson, as usual, is turning in A++ comic book colors! (No surprise--see below!)
We are so very close! Thank you for your patience, and we're finally in the home stretch and excited to get this mega-sized issue into you hands!
Special, Extra Update!

Hello everybody! This is a bonus update to cover a few extra announcements as we near the end of Moonshine Bigfoot at last!
First order of business—Moonshine Bigfoot #3 becomes available to the general public on June 25th. This means that you, the awesome backers, will be getting the digital version of it at the crack of midnight on June 24th, so check those email inboxes!
Second order of business (and a point of pride for us!): Issue 1 is officially sold out at the distribution level! For those lucky souls who are not subjected to the inner workings of the comic book industry on a daily basis, this means that there are no copies left in the warehouse, and shops cannot order more--at least for now. This is a pretty rare occurrence for comics these days, so we are excited and honored, and thank you for helping us make this happen!
Next, let’s talk about Issue #4. If you’ve been seeing the Progress Charts that we include in the monthly updates, then you probably already know that #4 is behind schedule and will not be ready to be released in July. As of now, we estimate it to be two months behind. As much as we wish this was not the case, money, illness, family emergencies, and fact that it is an extra long issue (28 pages total!) have delayed this project far more than we anticipated. We are putting in long hours every day to get the final issue of this series in front of your eyeballs as quickly as humanly possible without compromising quality.
Finally, as a gesture of gratitude for your amazing patience, the team has come up with a small but special, backer-exclusive gift that all of you who are already getting physical rewards will be receiving in your rewards package.
Thank you again for your support, and to those of you that regularly extend words of support and enthusiasm! You are all appreciated!
Love, the Moonshine Crew (Zach, Steve, Mike, Nelson, Thompson, and Clara)
(Also, here's another art sample!)

Happy June, everyone! Here's your monthly update on Moonshine Bigfoot!
As usual, ya' got your page samples and your Progress Chart below, but we also wanted to let you know that our awesome and enthusiastic letterer, Thompson Knox, has outdone himself yet again! As a long-time fan of all things Zach Howard, Thompson created two (TWO!) new variant cover that we did not originally plan, so they were not included in the Kickstarter. So, for those of your that have reached out to us about any other available merch options, take a gander at the additional two variant covers on Creator's Edition!
Moonshine Bigfoot May Update!

Hello, cool people, and happy May!
First, we'd just like to say a big thank you to everyone who enjoyed Issue 1 and said wonderfully kind things about it! That is so gratifying to hear as creators!
And along the same lines, we'd like to apologize again to those of you that had trouble with the link to download said Issue 1. (If there's anyone left who still hasn't gotten it to work, let us know with a comment here on this update or by emailing us at [email protected].) But we have learned our lesson, and from here on out, we will include more links and download options when we send you digital content.
And along those same lines--heads up!--because Moonshine Bigfoot #2 is dropping on the 21st of this month, which means you folks will get access to the digital edition on the 20th. So keep an eye on those inboxes!
Otherwise, for now, enjoy your usual art teasers below--it's very Uncle Pineapple-themed this month--and, of course, your usual monthly Progress Chart.
