And the campaign is now over! Thank you everyone for supporting the campaign, making the second book a reality. I'm going to be super busy with the amount of extra contents that will be in the book. This includes a special short story, a special comic, many guest arts and more! But, for now, let's celebrate!
Thank you all!
Hello everyone! I'm gonna be busy from now on, managing the file of the book, because Wuffle the Big Nice Wolf Year 2 is going to be printed! We’ve reached the goal! Hooray!
Thank you so much everyone! There are still more than 50 days to contribute and get some rewards before the campaign ends, but for now, guys, LET'S START WUFFLIN'!
Our editor, Guts, has something to say to all the readers, too:
"Our campaign for printing Wuffle book 2 just reached the goal today! Thanks everyone for your contribution, be it monetarily or helping us spread the word.
It's amazing to see that this project got funded within a few days. Did you know that it took us one whole month for last year's campaign to reach the goal?
Hopefully Wuffle will be an example to show that you don't need copyright to make money from your work. If you do the best you can and care about those who like your work, your fans will care about you and support you in return.
We still have many weeks left and I'd love to see the campaign reach the stretch goal. Let's see how far we can go this time!
Anyway, just a friendly reminder that our comics are in the public domain and free for anyone to use. You can even print them and sell them if you want to!"
Stretch goals update!
It's been 2 years since I began drawing Wuffle comics, and now it's time to print the second volume! Let's make it happen!
This will be a Fixed Funding campaign like last time, meaning that if this campaign doesn't reach the goal, you will get a refund, and the book won't be printed. But I will still continue drawing Wuffle for you, and hopefully I can try again in the future.
You can read Wuffle Year 2 comics here: Official Website, Tumblr or Facebook
Or download and read at once: Download
Wuffle Year 1 is also available for free download as a PDF via Gumroad.
Why free? Read here: Wuffle is in the public domain.
The funding goal is higher this time because the book will be thicker than the first volume. The comic itself has many more pages than volume 1, with longer stories. This means that the printing costs will be higher too.
Book Features:
-
All of the comics from the second year (14th Febuary 2013 - 28th February 2014) will be included.
-
All comics will be proofread by a professional proofreader, and any errors from the webcomic version will be corrected.
- Special illustrations will be made for the book by me and several guest artists.
These will be printed in a hard-cover A5-size full color 150-180 page book format.

-
I will improve some comics that included mistakes when they were first released. This will include some new scenes, new drawings, and extended stories.
- Shipping times will be faster; instead of 2 months after the finished print run, books will ship within 2 weeks after the books are printed! The print run should be finished around 2 months after the campaign ends.
You'll get a print of the book, you can have your name on the book as one of the sponsors, a signed copy of the book, and many more rewards! Here are the pictures for more details :
$6500 REACHED! : "There's Something About Foxxo" A special short story written by our proofreader and story adviser, Leonard Kirke, and approved by me. This short tale is about Foxxo's first big business deal, though it might not turn out the way he planned. I will do special illustrations for this short story.
============================
$7000 REACHED! - $8000 REACHED! : A special comic for book 2. There is one story that I've wanted to draw for a while, but I hadn't found the right time and place for it until now. It's called ROBIN WUFF.
A parody comic of Disney's version of Robin Hood, but in Wuffle style!
I want this to be the first episode in an occasional mini-series chronicling the adventures of Robin Wuff. Since the characters are so perfectly matched, I don't want it to end with just one comic.
So let's make it happen! If we reach $7000 , then I'll draw the comic, but in black and white. If it reaches $8000, then the comic will be in color!
::::::::::::::::::::::
UPDATE : We've just reached the comic in GLORIOUS TECHNICOLOR! Thank you everyone! ;_;
============================
$15000 : I don't have a definite plan for further stretch goals yet. But I always wanted to do some short animation of Wuffle, based on one of the early 4 panel comics. So it'll be a very, very short animation with music but no dialogue (since we don't know who to cast and voice Wuffle XD).
The style will be classic 2D animation like back in the old days, from the Golden Age of Animation (just like the dancing Wuffle that you see on this page). I'm very passionate about 2D animation, so if we can reach this goal, I won't be able to say thank you enough! Making a short animation like this is one of my dreams, and I'll be very grateful if you help me make it come true!
Other short animations I've made years ago.
The animation might take some time to finish, so if we can reach this goal, I will ship all the books to you first and then I'll keep updating on the animation until it's done! ^^
============================
And that's all folks! We still have plenty of time before the campaign ends on May 15, 2014. Share the campaign, show it to your friends, and help make this project go further together!
Not everyone can support the campaign directly, but you can help me by spreading the news about the campaign, sharing the comic for free with your friends, your family, aliens from another dimension, everyone! You can also spread the love of Wuffle by creating your own Wuffle fan works, like art, fiction, music, whatever you want!
