Short Summary
CATCH BOTH BOOKS IN THE 40 dollar TIER! DON"T MISS OUT!
JUST ADDED!!! A NEW 6 page tale, The Case of the Littlest Dino! This is added to the MAIN BOOK as a thank you for supporting! Its a tale meant to mirror storytime with my daughter, and is about a little girl losing her pet dinosaur and going to get it back. Drawn by Peter Gilmore with words by LUG, TUG, and Gilmore!
STRETCH GOAL 1: At 20,000; The Case of The Littlest Umbrella will add the AMAZING Kyle Ritter as a colorist to the FRONT cover! Kyle has done work on projects like Cyberfrog, and it would be AMAZING to add his talent here!
STRETCH GOAL 2: At 30,000; I will be adding SIGNATURES for myself to EVERYTHING. This is making sure that you not only get a comic, but a SIGNED comics!
STRETCH GOAL 3: At 40,000, MORE PAGES for the GOODIE BIRD TALE! This will allow us to give a few more pages to the tale and make it even better!
STRETCH GOAL 4: At 50,000. Signatures from TUG AND LUG. Now, I already plan to sign those comics, but what would be cooler than a ThatUmbrellaGirl signature on it? After all, her future is LOOKING BRIGHT in comics and having that later on? O yeah.
STRETCH GOAL 5: AT 70000. I will record a video that adds a read-through for BACKERS. That way, we have something for ANYONE wanting something fun with vocals, or needing assistance because of needs.
STRETCH GOAL 5: AT 100000: The BIG 6 FIGURES. At this level, we're adding something special. ESCAPE FROM DINO ISLAND. This will be added to the main book as a secondary story. 10 pages, Black and White to fit the theme. From Peter Gilmore. The cover art is in the "updates" section if you'd like to see it!
Part of the Goodie Bird explanation is hers as well, plus a few story notes here and there. So she IS part of our creative team!
Hey THERE!!! This is ThatUmbrellaGuy, teaming up with Keung Lee, to bring you a tale of Lovecraftian-based mystery, paying homage to the things that go bump in the night! The tale begins with the idea of madness and something more trying to enter our world, and revolves around a certain detective and the cutest unwitting sidekick trying to stop it! We wanted to create something EVERYONE can love and enjoy, and I also wanted to be able to give something to my daughter to enjoy as well.

Additionally, ThatUmbrellaGuy is also teaming up with Peter Gilmore for an ashcan revolving around The Tale of the Goodie Bird. This answers the age-old question: What IS the Goodie Bird? HOW does it impact us? What mysteries does it implore? We hope you enjoy our project and find it as fun to read as we have had making it!
