Story

 

Project Skin Horse started as a government agency dedicated to aiding America’s nonhuman citizens. Now the agents find themselves embroiled in an all-out war between a corporate paramilitary, an all-devouring biomass, a giant robot, and a UFO. (For the record, they’re the ones in the robot.) Who will live? Who will die? Who will remember to RSVP to Nick’s wedding?

 

Shaenon K. Garrity and Jeffrey C. Wells have been writing and drawing the daily online comic strip Skin Horse since 2008. Now the strip is reaching its conclusion. This campaign will fund print collections of the final two volumes, with plenty of bonuses for backers.

Bios


Jeffrey Channing Wells (co-author) reluctantly began writing fictions in 1996 when the theater department at his university denied him access to the vocal performance classes he actually wanted, and the world has not been safe since. He is the author of numerous plays, serial stories and robot battle anthems (actually, just the one) and is now apparently co-writing a webcomic. He is kind of at a loss as to how this all happened.

 


Shaenon K. Garrity (co-author and artist) has written and/or drawn a lot of webcomics, including Narbonic, Li’l Mell, and Monster of the Week. Her graphic novel The Dire Days of Willowweep Manor, with art by Christopher Baldwin, is available from Simon and Schuster.

 

Testimonials

“Skin Horse is laugh-out-loud funny, in the way that the Marx Brothers were funny: It starts with something that is just barely plausible and then piles up incongruities into a massive, complicated structure built entirely of crazy.”

—Brigid Alverson, Comic Book Resources

 

“I absolutely love every bit of Skin Horse from beginning to end!”

—Sheena McNeil, Sequential Tart

 

“One of the smartest, funniest, long-con-est webcomics around.”

—Gary Tyrrell, Fleen

 

“It’s like the X-Files crossed with Monty Python, with a healthy dose of civil service bureaucracy.”

—Skye Kilaen, Planet Jinxatron

 

“I’m constantly amazed at how many jokes Skin Horse can get out of ‘robots talk weird.’”

—Daniel Kelly, The Webcomics Review

Stretch Goals

$20,000: Shaenon will draw Season Seven of her webcomic Monster of the Week.

 

$25,000: All backers receive original Skin Horse prose stories by Jeff and Shaenon.

Timeline

We’ve published 10 volumes of Skin Horse and run numerous crowdfunding campaigns. We foresee no problems with the publication of the final two volumes.

 

Assets will go to the printer in July/August. Books should be received from printer by September. Books will be shipped to backers by the end of 2022.

A few short answers to how this works.
