| COMIC BOOK PUBLISHING FUNDRAISER
http://www.indiegogo.com/Morning-People Ed's R Us started online March 2, 2008 and has been producing comics almost every day since. Ed's R Us is a generally optimistic roommate comedy (think of a cross between Friends and Futurama).Morning People, the first Ed's R Us collection collects the strips from the Start to November 1, 2008. After a small miscalculation causes a wayward asteroid destroys their former home, Ed (cuddly mad scientist), Rocco (even cuddlier megalomaniac) and Kanna (I wouldn't cuddle if you know what's good for you) move into an apartment in downtown Raincity. Hilarity ensues. So why should you care? Basically the economy sucks and a the best way to combat it is to do what you love. I LOVE this comic and I want nothing more than to do it as a living, and the way to do that is to print a collection. Unfortunately, I'm a freelance and even though my freelance work pays the bills, It's not quite enough to print the first book. That's where you come in... This campaign is all about pre-selling the book. That's the main focus and for a mere $25 you can get a copy of the book and a sketch on the inside of the cover of whatever character you want. If you really want to help out I have a lot of other donation levels that you can contribute to and win my love!
