Hey, TarMucks drinker!
All surveys have been sent out, and so far, you are all ROCK STARS about completing them! We've already got 65% of surveys completed, which means there are only about 65 people who still need to fill theirs out.
Impressive!
But then again, with the fate of the world resting on your shoulders and caffeine coursing through your veins, we suppose this overachieving isn't surprising.
If you haven't completed your survey yet:
You should be able to find your customized survey link in your email inbox right now!
GLARIEN is a five-issue miniseries for mature readers set in the White Ash Universe.
Glarien follows the stories of two women and the different paths they take to overcome life-altering tragedies. Jumping from the elf realm of ancient Alfheim to the gritty streets of New York City circa 1971, two seemingly-unrelated tales will slowly weave together to reveal a critical piece of White Ash's complicated past. Oh, and because Glarien is involved, expect carnage... lots and LOTS of carnage.

Hello there, TarMucks fam!
We've got great news!
Your Backer Surveys Are Coming!
Today, we're sending out a "Smoke Test" of 5% of all backer surveys. This is BackerKit's way of checking to be sure that everything is working before the rest of the surveys go out over the weekend.
So keep your eyes on your email inbox!
Keep your eyes on your inbox! Your survey is on its way!
By Sunday evening, every single one of you should get a message from Oneshi Press via BackerKit inviting you to complete your survey for TarMucks: Cthulhu Corporate Coffee, Comic, & Cup!
We'll need your surveys completed in 2 weeks' time so we can get final counts on all the items we'll order for this campaign. That means we need you to fill out your survey by August 19!
What the Heck Is a Backer Survey?
Backer surveys are how we make sure that you're getting everything you want from our campaign! It's where you confirm your contact information, shipping information (if applicable), rewards and add-ons order, and answer a few questions so that we can say "thanks" the right way, get you on any mailing lists you want to join, and more.
It's absolutely essential that you complete your survey if you want to receive your rewards. We can't send them out until your survey is completed, so be sure to finish yours by August 19!
The survey takes less than five minutes to complete, and at the end, you'll be sure you're set up to get all the goodies you ordered!
What's In It for You?
And here's where it gets fun, folks! After you've completed your survey, you'll have a chance to add on anything you like to your order. If you backed at a digital-only level in Kickstarter, now's your chance to add any physical items that you didn't have access to before!
You can also browse items from our other projects and campaigns, including Tracy Queen the love warrior, PACK the vigilante dogs, Mr. Guy: Zombie Hunter, the Children of Gaia sci-fi-fantasy universe, and the Tales from Existentia. So feel free to take a look around. You might find something you love!
And best of all? There's freeshippingin the US for all physical items!
So, watch your inbox for your survey message!
If you haven't received yours by Monday morning, let us know and we'll send you a personalized link for your survey!
In the meantime, here's something heckin' nifty to check out…
Our next campaign, Mr. Guy: Zombie Hunter,Acts 1 & 2, is in the prelaunch phase! You can follow along now by clicking the image below and smashing that "Notify Me on Launch" button so you'll be first in line when Mr. Guy, the half-goblin reluctant zombie slayer, and Spooky, his sassy spectral sidekick, take to mowing down the un-dead again!
About Mr. Guy Acts 1 & 2
In Act 1: To Save Himself, the original zom-com caper, our half-goblin reluctant hero was infected with the ZMB virus. But rather than coming back as un-dead, he was saddled with a spectral sidekick named Spooky, who helped him run for his life…er…fight ferociously against a mutant ZMB, a horde of horrifying, hungry shamblers, a be-dead-ed barkeep, and even an unholy cow!
Now, in Act 2: The Hecking Heck of It, Mr. Guy and his re-un-dead-ified pal must face all the hecking hecks in Heck, the Dark Lord’s darkest hole, a doom swamp, a crankypants orisha, Elder Gods, a seriously gnarly necromancer, and more. Even worse, they have to spend another whole book together as they try to cure the zombie apocalypse so they can break the curse that binds them together.
If you liked TarMucks, you're going to love this tongue-in-cheek takedown of all things zombie and geeky!

Preorder Store & Other Great Campaigns!
almost 2 years ago
– Thu, Jul 28, 2022 at 08:36:28 PM
Hey there, TarMucks friend!
We're happy to announce that we're making quick moves on the TarMucks fulfillment process.
Preorder Store
We're still awaiting funds from Kickstarter, but in the meantime we've set up our BackerKit preorder store for anyone who didn't make it to the campaign before it closed! If you have friends or family who didn't back the Kickstarter, but who love Cthulhu, comics, and coffee, you can send them to the Preorder Store to check out all our wares!
(Backers: You'll be able to access everything in the preorder store when you fill out your survey, so there's no rush for you to hit the preorder store.)
Other Great Campaigns
While we wait for surveys to go out to our backers, we wanted to make sure you've had a chance to check out some other amazing Kickstarter campaigns that are wrapping up in the next few days. Here are some of our favorites…
Pocus Hocus is the hilarious and dark tale of a magician who sells his soul to a demon for actual magical powers. Years later, he wants his soul back. But, before that can happen, the demon demands Pocus’s help in a dark deed gone wrong. How can Pocus get out of this? Will he ever get his soul back? What are the real motives of the pink bunny that joins him on stage?
A magician never reveals his secrets…except in these four issues and the trade paperback, all available now on Kickstarter!
Crossover Pocus V. Cthulhu Print!
We've partnered with the creative team behind Pocus Hocus #1-4: a dark, humorous, and magical comic series to bring you a stunning, Kickstarter-exclusive art piece by Pocus Hocus artist Brian Balondo, featuring their main character, Pocus, fighting a TarMucks-wielding Cthulhu!
Coooool, right? Want a copy?
How to get it:
This is an exclusive art print only for folks who have backed both TarMucks and Pocus Hocus!
All you need to do to reserve your limited-edition art print is:
PROJECT Big Hypevol. 2 is a manga sized 385 page collection of stories modeled off Shonen Jump. We wanted to provide western creators and audience an experience that we felt was lacking in the current comic landscape. Featuring 25 stories from 80 creators, we think that you will find a new favorite series within these pages.
On the backwater planet of Ee’ezzo, the nations of Bazi and E’dolo are at war ... again. During their last war, both countries were brought to their knees by a rogue madman -- Y’ov -- and his horrifying chemical weapons. The rival nations reluctantly brokered a truce to bring Y’ov down. A truce that has lasted less than a generation.
Bazi was not the instigator of this new conflict, but it comes prepared -- in recent years, the nation has substantially upgraded its military by immigrating human soldiers, engineers, and scientists. Of particular success is their "A-9" super soldier program -- a cybernetic transformation that gives humans incredible strength and power.
Given the A-9 advantage, as well as strategic international alliances, Bazi is winning. E’dolo grows desperate. Will they be desperate enough to unleash a new terror on the world?
Worm Gnosis is an interactive comic book by Boris Ramírez. In it, the reader will take the role of the main character and go on an adventure whose development (and ending, therefore) will be determined by the decisions and actions taken over the course of the story. With a plot and setting clearly influenced by Lovecraft’s Mythos and tales, the readers will dive in a fantastic and chillingly fun adventure in which they will unravel mysteries and confront dark forces and enemies from this world and from others.
Mike McKenzie, a bored British teenager, just found what appears to be a treasure map in a dusty old museum. Surely it's just some lame prank? Well frankly, Mike and his friends might as well find out, they've got nothing better to do! To their amazement, they find the very first hoard that they look for and from there, the hunt is on...
What follows is a tale of misadventure, under-age drinking, accidental drug munching, banter and bickering. But as the gang gleefully traverses the Surrey countryside, treasure map in hand, they are blissfully unaware of the danger they are in. The Order of Surrey, a clandestine group that has been secretly guarding the hoards for over 100 years, is about to reveal themselves in dramatic fashion. Sh*t's about to get real.
When stories come to life and threaten to fracture reality beyond repair, only an English professor and a research librarian have the knowledge and smarts to save us all. Join Hank Wallace and Hector Ramirez in Crossover Division #4 as a Shakespeareantragedy unfolds in a small, midwestern town! Hank and Hector encounter the mysterious Betsy while trying to end the crossover and prevent Shakespearean tragedy from engulfing the world.
CHEEKY is a graphic novel made up of four sexy stories that overlap in fun, exciting ways.
Imagine a device that, when held by a couple, makes music as they touch...
Imagine a fan-fic writer attempting to appease her long-distant girlfriend with steamy stories...
Imagine a couple getting hot and heavy as someone else witnesses, fantasizing in ways they couldn't dream of...
Imagine all of those stories coming together for a sexy and hilarious climax at a booty contest...
These four stories, drawn by some of comics' top talent, all come together in the spiciest graphic novel you'll read this year. If you're a fan of comics like Sunstone or Smut Peddler, you'll love CHEEKY's funny, emotional, character-driven erotica.

That was incredible! With your support, we reached 271% of our original funding goal by the time the campaign ended yesterday! Not only will we be able to send you all the coolest rewards to say thank you, but we'll also be able to plant 186 trees—one for each of you!
Thank you SO much for supporting TarMucks! Your devotion to keeping the Great Old Ones asleep by caffeinating yourself is truly the kind of team spirit we need to hold on to survival and sanity. Fhtagn!
Claythulhu Giveaway
At the very end of our campaign countdown live-stream yesterday, we picked a name out of the hat for our Claythulhu giveaway!
We're happy to announce that backer Therese has won this adorable, one-of-a-kind, hand-sculpted creation!
Thanks go out to everyone who entered the giveaway! Your response has made the campaign so much fun for us. We can't wait to do more giveaways in the future!
What's Next
Now that the campaign has ended, we want you to know what to expect.
Here's a breakdown of next steps for all of us!
Kickstarter has already started charging credit cards for pledges and add-ons. They will continue to work on charging cards for the next two weeks, so if anyone needs to update their credit card information, they should be receiving communications from Kickstarter about that.
We'll get our BackerKit preorder store up as quickly as we can for anyone who'd like make an after-the-fact pledge to the campaign or stock up on add-ons. As soon as that's up and running, we'll let you all know!
In the meantime, for those of you who commented with #CIsforCthulhu, #CthulhuIsHardtoSpell, or #CthulhuInvades, keep your eyes on your inboxes! We'll be in touch directly to make sure we have your free beverage order correct!
In about two to three weeks, we'll receive funds from Kickstarter. At that time, we'll send out backer surveys to all of our backers! We'll need those surveys completed within two weeks so that we can nail down final counts for all the items we need to have created.
A few weeks after surveys are completed, we'll order all physical rewards, and start sending out digital rewards!
Fulfillment will begin as soon as we have physical rewards in hand. This timeline is looking a bit wibbly-wobbly right now, as some supply lines are disrupted due to pandemic-related issues. We will keep you all informed about our fulfillment process as it unfolds!
And of course, we are always available to answer any questions, address any problems, or just say hi! Feel free to leave comments on updates, send us direct messages via Kickstarter, or write to us at [email protected].
Thanks again, times a bazillion, for being here for coffee, comics, and planting trees! You are the real MVPs!
What is your time worth? To what lengths would you go to get it back? A twenty-something young man, O, wakes up to his most valuable possession being stolen. This leads him on a wild-goose chase through NYC as he tries to take back what's his. This is a zany, fun love letter to NYC.
