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.
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.
“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
$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.
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.
Yes! We encourage you to get more than 1 item! That could be multiple copies of the same reward, or you can mix and match rewards! There is no limit, unless otherwise stated in the reward description.
Our campaigns are for a worldwide audience unless stated otherwise in the campaign. All international orders are sold with the terms DAP (Delivered At Place). You are responsible for any duties and taxes required for the shipment's entry into your country. Our carriers may require you to pay taxes and fees related to importation and customs brokerage of your shipment -- but if your item is really low in value, it may fall under the customs de minimis of most countries. For more information, please contact USPS
Zoop does not store or keep your credit card info. Stripe simply holds the credit card info until the end of a successful campaign and then charges it. It is strictly for this one time use and won't charge it ever again.
You can either access the transaction through your account and click the cancel button, or contact us at hello@wearezoop.com and we'll cancel it for you and send back a confirmation email.
Cancellations of rewards or add-ons of $500 or more must be made before there are 72 hours left in the campaign. The reason for this is it can have a negative effect on the tally of the campaign. If it is a limited reward or add-on, there may not be sufficient time for someone else to purchase it, leaving the campaign possibly not funded. We ask for your courtesy of the people running the campaign when making these decisions.
Please use the notes section in the last checkout step or you could e-mail us at hello@wearezoop.com with that info during the campaign if you'd like to get it out of the way. Otherwise, we'll be reaching out to all supporters of rewards that require feedback shortly after the campaign is over.
If you want to make changes, you should first cancel your original order and then start over with a new one. If you don't do that and simply process an additional order, the way our system is currently set up you may end up being overcharged for shipping -- which we could remedy for you, but it just takes that extra step of catching it and crediting you back the extra shipping, so please try the prior way first.
Rewards are the priority items that the creators have chosen for the campaign. Add-Ons are meant to be secondary items that are 'unlocked' after you buy something from the Reward level. There are no restrictions on buying Rewards, but you can only buy Add-Ons if you've bought a Reward. Zoop sets this up under the direction of the creators. Some may choose to only have Rewards, some may choose an even balance of Rewards and Add-Ons, and others may choose to only have one or two Rewards with the rest of the items being Add-Ons.
Since we have an a la carte rewards system, shipping rates will vary from supporter to supporter. We use a weight-based calculation system in your checkout cart, though, so, after you enter your country, you'll be able to see it calculated in real time with each item you add.
No - this is it! We're essentially your in-campaign pledge manager. If you are interested in supporting these creators, this is the time to do it! And it's the exact reason we allow you to purchase as many rewards as you want during the campaign!
