Who wants the last Printer's Proof?
Art by Ryan Brown, 1986

As we come in for a landing, there is one Printer's Proof left.  There were discussions about an auction or some other method of deciding who gets to purchase the last proof.  How can we make this a) Fair, b) Random and c) Not drive the price up?  It was decided that a simple, random drawing will do the trick.  Since not everyone on this campaign wants to purchase a $50 proof it is up to each individual to decide and put your name (or in this case, backer number) into the hat.  So here's the deal:

If you would like to be entered into the drawing for a chance to purchase the last Pieces of Turtles 8 No. 1 Printer's Proof then simply reply to this Update with your Backer Number.  At midnight tomorrow (Friday) evening, Dave Standard Time (aka Eastern Standard Time in North America) all numbers will be put into a hat and one number will be chosen at random.  The winner will recieve a message letting them know they may purchase the final proof.  That's a little over a day and a half to reply with your number in the comments.  The winner will be announced on Saturday during the final hours of the campaign and may remain anonymous if they choose.

Don't say I didn't tell ya!
Next Time: Friday!

Hate thought of added competition... but..... sigh

Margaret, click "manage your pledge", under your name you should see your backer number.

For the winning pull! I am #110

(and whatever number Margaret, and anyone else puts down...I'm everyone's backer number!)

Just to let people know, I unfortunately have to cancel my pledge entirely, which included a copy of Form and Void. So there’s another copy of that available now. I just can’t justify the cash for the US version of Pieces either but good luck with the campaign. My pledge will be canceled shortly.

Thanks Bill, but I still don't see it. Using the latest version of chrome. I click on the manage your pledge button and I don't see my name anywhere.

I stepped through the entire sequence for "pretending" to update my pledge but not saying anything and then it says 140 people plus me. Since there are 140 backers and I know I wasn't the last to pledge, I don't think I'm 141.

Matt - any help with this nonsense? can you just make up a number for me or write my name really small on the slip of paper?

Great. now i'm all agitated and it is only 5:30 am in the morning. all for the chance of getting a comic.

OK! Here we are:

1) Mobile users:
- go to kickstarter app
- select "profile" (lower right corner)
- find Pieces of Turtles 8 & click
- click "manage your pledge" (lower right corner)
- under your name you should see your backer number.

2) Chrome/laptop users:
- got to kickstarter
- go to "backed projects" (upper right corner, the round circle thingee)
- the page should say "Backed projects" at top
- find Pieces of Turtles 8
- click the + (to right side of the entry)
- a pop up screen should open; scroll to the bottom of that pop up
- under Total amount, and then Estimated delivery you should see your backer number

I'm confused.


Is the backer number the same as my Cerebus Archive Number?
