FOREST FOLK VOL 3 IS LIVE ON KICKSTARTER!

Introducing Forest Folk: Quips and Quandaries, come see what Thomas' magic quill has drawn up 🪶

GREETINGS & SALUTATIONS / It’s Forest Folk: Quips & Quandaries launch day! 🚀

Campaign goes LIVE today at 11am EST on KICKSTARTER! (👈🏼 LINKS in BOLD!)

What make’s this third volume different from its predecessors is that Quips & Quandaries features alternate universe storylines, such as a crime-noir storyline featuring detective Filburt on the hunt to find the culprit behind the great marshmallow caper. Plus the opposite strips where all is rather topsy-turvy; Stripes actually enjoys Filburt’s humour, and Thomas has his own lines of dialogue 🫢

You aren’t gonna want to miss this one — especially since the double-Q title is SO FUN to say aloud.

PS / It’s our very first official newsletter through the Substack platform - so we apologize for any email inconsistencies as we switch between platforms. We’re still testing the waters and figuring the platform out, but feeling overall good! 😊

Now onto more fun stuff…

If you’re fresh to the forest, the campaign also offers all three books for all to discover and enjoy!

We’re really excited by the Earlybird tier that is ONLY AVAILABLE for 48 hours! So you’re gonna want to jump on it, look at all the goods listed below 👇
