HUGE MANDRILL P.I. NEWS!

Hello!
HUGE update time:
MANDRILL P.I. Issue #2 launches in a little over a week--March 15! It would help tremendously if you would click here to be notified on launch and share the link with your social circles (and of course, support it upon launch):
Issue #1 spent time world building and setting up the crime. Issue #2 begins the investigation. Carlos adds some darker hues to his color scheme this issue to ramp up the noir feel, and I think he took the art to the next level.
That's right! Issue #1 with metal covers will be available as a reward tier! These are super cool, and the metal design came out really well.
Thanks again for your support on Issue #1. I waited to launch Issue #2 until the art was completely finished so I can get the issue to you quickly as soon as the campaign finishes. And Carlos is already working on number 3 :)
AND FINALLY, it wouldn't be a proper Kickstarter Update without recommending some projects by other creators. Check them out by clicking on the images or the links below.
1)Based on a True Story #1-4: Dust Bunny Mafia Comics by Bret Juliano
If you're into true crime, mob history, and anthropomorphic animal humor, then this is the perfect comic for you! Based on a True Story retells real life mob history using Bret's Dust Bunny Mafia crew. It's poignant, oddly whimsical, and you might learn a thing or two about some of America's sordid past. Check it out here!
BROKEN TRIDENT is a combination of underwater adventures and exciting pirate battles. This mini-series will be an action packed journey with an emphasis on character development. This story follows two members of an underwater race as they embark on an adventure to investigate a series of destructive events … events that might preclude the resurgence of an ancient horror!
This is the story of a 13-year old girl, her cat, a millennial slacker, and a 10 ton dragon. Hazel wakes up one morning with a premonition that a dragon is about to awake from a centuries-long nap. When she discovers her cat can talk--and it's had the same premonition--they go on an adventure to seek the reincarnation of Beowulf.

Hello Again,
Big news: all physical rewards have been mailed!
You should have received an email with a tracking number from Backerkit.
If you ordered a T-shirt, those will be arriving separately, fulfilled via Printful (the latest arrival date on these is by Aug 16).
There are still a few people who haven’t completed their Backerkit surveys. If that's you, please get your survey done so I can send yours. Follow this link if you can't find the email from Backerkit: https://mandrillpi.backerkit.com/
Digital rewards were sent via Backerkit email earlier this month. If you didn't see the email or misplaced it, message me or contact me via email ([email protected]) and I'll get yours to you.
If you snagged The Multiverse Askew Trilogy bundle, you should have received emails from Amazon with links to your books earlier this month. If you missed those, please check your promotions/spam, and if you still can't locate, email/message me and we'll get you set up.
I'll begin reaching out shortly via email to those that backed the cameo rewards.
Thank you again. In the words of (obviously) the best Golden Girl:
But that's not all! Carlos is chugging along on Issue #2. So, it's time to share some art!
This issue gets deeper into Mandrill, P.I.'s investigation. It ratchets up the noir detective elements and explores more of the crazy cartoon world of Toonsville.
That's it for now. Thank you again for the support.

Hello again!
I just wanted to give a quick update. The mini-prints and bookmarks arrived this week, and I'll be locking orders on Sunday to begin shipping them out next week (I'm still out of town for work, otherwise I'd have already started!).
We still have about ten people who haven't completed their surveys, and some of these are physical pledge levels. If you lost your link, you can use this one to look yours up: https://mandrillpi.backerkit.com/ or you can email me at [email protected]
If you're local to Modesto, I'll hand yours off next week!
If you pledged at a level to be drawn into the next issue or have your name used in the novels, I'll reach out to you over the next couple weeks to coordinate.
Thank you again for your support! I can't wait to get these out to you.
-Chris
