Leen Isabel started this discussion · 6/17/2014

EXCITING NEWS for Pole Dancing Adventures! Instead of one comic, I'm giving you over ONE HUNDRED! I'm passionate about spreading enthusiasm for pole dancing through the comic medium. Now it's time for the official book! Through Kickstarter, let's fund the first printing of "Pole Dancing Adventures: Volume One."

Cant believe how much I can relate to your comics. they are universally relative to all pole dancers. and its really funny to see a lot of them come into fruition in my own life. Love your work.

Good morning! I posted the new comic today at PoleDancingAdventures.com! You'll also find a new GIVEAWAY at the site for the new book!

Announcing NEW rewards for Kickstarter backers! When you pre-order your book, you'll get these items FOR FREE! https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/leenisabel/pole-dancing-adventures-the-book I did a little number crunching last night and was able to add FOUR more rewards to those who pre-order their book on Kickstarter. If we hit our 100% goal, you'll get them all! This won't be available ever again, so be sure to spread the word. If you're on the fence, now's the time! See you Monday with the new comic and have a great weekend! xoxo https://www.facebook.com/LeenIsabelArtist/photos/a.357964184232751.97420.253814311314406/864245080271323/?type=1

Just treated myself to an early christmas present! Signed copy and a sketch! Can't wait!!!
EtherealAnnie · 7/12/2014

I am already a backer with one of the packages but maybe it would help if you included some cole slaw :-P Seriously, I expected better support from the pole community. So much was given to someone making potato salad they would not even taste. I find your artwork a great way to expose the world of pole dancing to the uninformed even if it can be with a smile and do enjoy it myself.
Leen Isabel · 7/13/2014
Thank you Acascetta! Webjunk, your comment made me laugh. Cookies anyone? That you don't get to eat? LOL That potato salad thing was funny at first and then I felt horrible for all the creator owned projects out there. We have 16 days left and new free rewards to uncover! I'll keep sharing and spreading the word and I hope I'll have help from the backers, too! There was a nice bump in the campaign today so I hope the momentum keeps up and we can finish strong. xoxo The book is going to exist with or without Kickstarter BUT through a Kickstarter pre-order you get free rewards with your book. It's a win-win situation. :) See you all Monday with a new comic!

Leen Isabel, I would like to get 10 more books for my studio. How much do I need to add for shipping?
Leen Isabel · 7/14/2014
Hi Tacha! Add +$45 USD for International otherwise, within the United States shipping is already included. I will be shipping via USPS Flat Rate International Priority.
Polewalker916 · 7/14/2014
This is awesome!! I hope to pledge soon, on or before Friday. I would like to get some for my friends as well. I may do the 10 pack. Anyhow, I know you will reach your goal but just to clarify, what happens to all the money if the goal is not reached? Is there a possibility I could lose my money??? Does my pledge/backer price include shipping if I'm in the u.s.? If I want some normal copies and one signed copy? Do I pledge two different times? Also, I saw that cute tote bag, is that just for a giveaway or can they be purchased from you somewhere? Thx in advance, your comic is always cute and funny.
Leen Isabel · 7/14/2014
Hi!! Lots of questions! OK... Here's the breakdown: what happens to all the money if the goal is not reached? -- If the Kickstarter campaign does NOT reach 100%, no backers are charged and I do not get a single penny. --Is there a possibility I could lose my money??? Not at all! If we reach 100%, then you are charged. If not, then you aren't charged at all. Just note that if/when we reach 100%, I will the move into shipping mode and expected delivery date of the book is Oct-Dec. I am shipping every order by hand, so a little patience is appreciated! Does my pledge/backer price include shipping if I'm in the u.s.? Yes! Within the US, shipping is included. If I want some normal copies and one signed copy? Do I pledge two different times? If you want to pledge for two different tiers, contact me and I will give you an adjusted quote to compensate for shipping. You would then pledge that amount but select one tier. I will make a note in your account to ship you the 2nd tier of your choice. I hope that helps! Thank you! Leen

Thank u it does help, what about the adorable tote bag??? Can I purchase somehow? If yes how much? I'm so excited to see a pole comic!!!
Leen Isabel · 7/14/2014
The tote bags were added from my physical stock and I offered them through Kickstarter at a discount. Otherwise, for Kickstarter I am all sold out. :( (Though, I am having a giveaway on the website for them if you want to take a chance on that! And Kickstarter backers have a better opportunity to win!) www.poledancingadventures.com and scroll down till you see it. :) Otherwise, you can buy them here: www.cafepress.com/poledancingadventures
