In these final hours of my campaign, I'm looking forward to going live with a number of talented creators to spotlight the projects THEY have live on Kickstarter and perhaps even some surprises for backers of my campaign. See you tonight at 7:30pm Eastern LIVE on my YouTube channel.

We may be roughly 24 hours away from the end of my Annual Dispatch campaign, but I'd like to go out with a bang, not only by celebrating the success of the 'Dispatch Kickstarter, but by shining a light on several talented folks with currently running comics campaigns! Join me tomorrow (Oct 28th)!

Time's running out and with ALL stretch goals achieved making the publication 50% LONGER than originally promised at NO EXTRA COST to existing or new backers...there's no better time to jump in. URL on image.

We're in the final few days of the campaign for my latest book! Thanks to many backers helping to achieve a variety of stretch goals, the publication will now be printed with 50% MORE PAGES at NO EXTRA COST TO ANYONE! Jump in before the campaign ends! (Link on the graphic.)

All stretch goals have been achieved, allowing the inaugural issue of the Annual Dispatch to have 50% more pages than originally projected (now 48-pages, rather than 32), at no additional cost to any backers. Back the project at the URL on the image, BUT HURRY...there's only a few days to do so!
October 23, 2025 at 3:58 PM
Alright, who's gonna be our first triple-digit backer? URL on the image! See ya there. :)

Don't think I've mentioned this, but we hit ANOTHER stretch goal for my new book campaign (bringing it up to 12 additional pages at no extra cost), and we're SOOO CLOSE to YET ANOTHER 4 pages, making the book 50% longer than originally projected! Project URL on the image! See you there.

Started the final day of Pinball Expo by moderating a seminar with the fantastic folks behind the P.A.P.A. Tournament which not only honors the life and legacy of Lyman F. Sheats Jr, but also brings attention to mental health awareness and suicide prevention. #988Lifeline is available to help 24/7.

None other than THE Pinball Degenerate himself, Joe Ciaravino, himself picked up a copy of Nicholas Baldridge 's Vic-20 cartridge for our co-designed game, "Robo-Frenzy" with my illustrated box and instruction art! Hope you love it! I have ONE MORE copy with me at Pinball Expo. Who's gonna nab it?
October 17, 2025 at 8:12 PM
I'll be set up at Pinball Expo in Chicago for the next several days and I'll even have the only (proof) copy of my upcoming publication for folks to flip through! If you can't check it out at Expo, you can always head over to...
