Introducing Cute-thulhu, the Cthulhu Plushy!
almost 2 years ago
– Mon, Jul 04, 2022 at 06:45:47 PM
Hey, TarMucks fam!
Can you believe we've already got 84 trees ready to plant? One for each of our amazing backers. At this rate, we'll be planting a whole forest by the time this campaign ends! You're all amazing!
We're just a few hundred dollars away from our first stretch goal—a live-streamed AMA with the creators of the TarMucks campaign. And we're only 16 backers away from our first backer milestone: an exclusive preview of CthulhuInvadesWonderland from the amazing folks at Orange Cone Productions!
Meanwhile, we hope you're having a fantastic weekend, and we hope that what we're about to share with you only makes it better.
Have you ever thought, "You know, Cthulhu is pretty cute. I wish I had a plushy toy of him?"
You're in the right place.
Because our friends on the CIsforCthulhu team have already had that thought. And they did something about it!
Introducing the CIs for Cthulhu plushy!
…or, as we like to call him, Cute-thulhu!
Look at that tentacled face! Don't you just want to squeeze it? Well, here's the good news—you can!
This 6" totally Cute-thulhu is available as an add-on through this campaign for just $20! You can add the item onto your order at checkout, or by hitting the "Manage Your Pledge" button if you've already pledged to the campaign.
He's a great addition to your order of "Cocoa Is for Cthulhu" hot cocoa, or CIsforCthulhu board book…or just because how could you resist that adorable squid face?
Thanks again for being here and supporting our campaign to save the world from Cthulhu and his kin! We can't wait to plant a tree for every single one of you.
In the rustic hills of a small New England town lies the prestigious Miskatonic High School. When the Community Services Club went on a field trip they were launched back to ancient Egypt and were nearly killed by an evil wizard and his tentacle monster. They escaped back to our century, but things have never been the same. Since then, we learned some of the secrets haunting the students of the Community Service Club and that the world is not what they thought it was.

Friends, freaks, folks, and geeks!
Moly mackerel, hot tamales, and darkcoffee, folks, we're fully funded!
We passed the 100% funded threshold last night, and since then, our ticker has continued to rise.
We can't thank all of you amazing backers enough for helping us plant nearly 80 trees less than a week into our campaign…
…butwecantry!
To that end, we're unveiling stretch goals that will give you, our fabulous backers, more rewards and add-ons at key milestones!
Funding milestones #1-4:
We're excited to smash past our funding milestones with you at $500 increments! First up, our first four goals are…
Backer milestones:
We've teamed up with some amazing horror and comedy writers to plan a seriously amazing series of eldritch reads for our backers! With each 10-backer milestone, we'll add a new title to everybacker's rewards!
Of course, all of that is in addition the amazing rewards and add-ons we've already stocked this Cthulhu-crushing campaign with.
And that's also on top of planting a tree for every backer on the campaign with One Tree Planted.
With three whole weeks left in this campaign, we're bursting with excitement at all the fun we're about to have!
We'd love it if you'd help spread the word about this campaign by sharing the link on social media! The more folks back it, the more fun for all of us!
Inchi (ink-y) is a creature born of mysterious circumstances. A beginning almost as bizarre as the characters he gets entangled with. Without a sense of self, this "born yesterday" cephalopod must cooperate with a foul-mouthed seagull and an empathetic mermaid to confront humanity's genuine and present danger. An ancient and unseen evil has been kept at bay for centuries by a band of cursed crusaders looking for redemption. However, Inchi's sudden and mysterious arrival has upset the delicate balance.

Hey there, TarMucks fam!
It looks like our little campaign is inspiring artists already…including official My Little Pony & DC Comics artist Mary Bellamy!
Check out this adorable art she made of Cthulhu with his daily dose of TarMucks!
We're not sure if most people would like Cthulhu when he's not caffeinated, either, but hey. Maybe that's just us. What do you think? Do you prefer Cthulhu with or without caffeine in his system? Tell us in the comments!
Check out more of Mary's amazing artworkat her website, or follow her on Instagram, Twitter, or Facebook! You can even leave her a tip at her Ko-Fi page to say thanks for the great Cthulhu art!
And keep your dial tuned here, because we've got some really exciting news about a stretch goal coming soon!
Birdwith Stick #2 is a 32-page comic book spinning a heroic adventure that traverses the region known as The Greenish. When birdsong abruptly disappears one morning without any explanation, the Bird Kingdom becomes divided by suspicion, accusation, and violent oppression. But one small Nightingale risks everything to seek out the true cause and restore his song.
Thanks for a FABULOUS First 48!

Friends, freaks, folks, and geeks!
It's been a fabulously first 48 hours of this campaign, and we wouldn't be at 79% of our funding goal if it weren't for all 51 of our fantastic backers!
We can't thank you enough for supporting TarMucks as we warn the world about the threat of the Great Old Ones and the importance of quaffing your daily dose of caffeine to keep them safely asleep beneath the sea.
With your support, we'll soon be knocking on the door of that all-important 100% funded landmark. And that, friends, is where the fun REALLY starts.
That's because, once we've been fully funded, we'll unveil our stretch goals!
That's right—the rewards and add-ons we've listed on the campaign already aren't all that we've got in store! Once we pass the 100% threshold, we've got all kinds of goodies in store, which we'll be adding on to the campaign at key milestones.
Want to know what those goodies are?
Then why not help spread the word about the campaign? A few words about why you backed the campaign, along with a link, can help new folks find out about the importance of staying caffeinated with TarMucks coffee.
Every little bit helps, and when it comes to Cthulhu and his pals, eldritch horror of unimaginable proportions is on the line!
Thanks again for being a part of this planet-shaking, Elder Gods–thwarting campaign, friend! You're saving the world!
