Because of them, the Tiernan pins are in production — and the Patrick pins are already here!

(The part of Monster Cybele is played by a bunny planter I got in a post-Easter sale. Cheapest BICP-themed accessory I’ve ever gotten.)

The colors in the photos are a little washed-out by the flash — in real life, he looks like he popped right out of a BICP page and into your hands.

Unlike with the books, the pins aren’t going up online for general sale. If you missed getting a preorder, they’ll be available on Patreon eventually, and will be used as extra rewards in future Kickstarters. Stick around!

Follow this link to get your cute enamel versions of Patrick, Tiernan, or both.

(Shipping for 2 pins is the same as for 1, so you might as well get both!)

They come with free ebooks to sweeten the deal, and there may be other digital treats posted for backers along the way.

This is a Quickstarter, which means the fundraising goal is low ($650) and the deadline is near (July 11, at 11:59 PM, US Eastern). Good news is, there’s no limit on backers, and no rule against overfunding.

Go check it out!

I have this same poll running on the Leif & Thorn site, but if you read both comics, feel free to vote in both! I’d love to know if the answers are different between the two audiences.

(Also, if you can’t afford to support the comic right now, feel free to answer “if I could, here are the rewards I would like to get.”)

The proof copy of Volume 6 is on its way

This is the first book where I’ve had to print any really high-stakes two-page spreads. (The Patrick flashback in chapter 19, and the new cover art for chapter 20.)

In the print-ready file, I arranged it so part of each 2-page image is duplicated on either side of the fold. Hopefully the duplicate art is what gets swallowed up by the center margins, and we’re left with a passable image where all the text is readable. Cross your fingers!
