Yes that's all true. It might not have been a good deal if only one comic (although I don't know what other small authors charge), but we had no idea what to expect, and with the variable amount of comics produced by the Kickstarter we wanted a minimum price that could cover a number of comics. 20 comics could have been funded for all we knew, or just one.

Not that it was my original prediction, with only nine days left I now expect that this will end with backers getting four or five 10-page comics, that would be 40 to 50 pages (plus 4-5 cover images).

We've spent about $20 or less so far on Project Wonderful ads. I might try to put up some more as it gets closer to the end. I tried a campaign, and that didn't produce good results, then I tried similar comics (sexy gaming and/or magic) without good results. The best results I've had are targeting comics were the readers might remember the old comic.

I've tried to mention it at places where the people might be interested, but things have become much less centralized, and I probably don't know all of the compatible places anymore.

Ads to co-fund the project? You mean ads in the comics? I think I mentioned that once, but we never really decided anything.
