As if making hours and hours of animation wasn't crazy enough (hint: it is!), we're also gonna be making appearances all over the place next month. If you'd like to come see us in person (hint: you should!) we're making it a lot more easier than usual.

In April alone, we've got three big things going on! First up, on April 3rd and 4th, I will personally be heading down to the Univeristy of North Carolina for their annual comedy festival. I'll be doing a Q&A on the 3rd and a cartoon drawing workshop on the 4th. I'll be giving out free high fives at both. Festival info here.

On April 13th we'll be having another Banana Bar Crawl! Don your fanciest banana costume and drunkenly roam the streets of Dallas with Rob, Dave, Kris, Derek, even our merch guy Andy! Facebook event page can be found here.

Last but definitely not least, from the 26th to the 28th, Dave, Kris and Shawn will make their way back to Chicago once again for this year's C2E2! Come get some sketches and grab some merch, possibly even a new con-exclusive poster! Show info here.

And hey, if you can make it down to ANY of these and you're one of our Kickstarter backers, PLEASE let us know so we can thank you in person!



I've successfully locked everyone in the writing closet and I'm not letting them out until we've got our show and shorts written. Hopefully the lack of food and clean water will have them hallucinating pretty soon, otherwise I'll have to get more creative.

In the meantime while the guys are writing / attempting to call for help, check out our friends at FML who've been putting out fantastic videos about other people's suffering. Killer production combined with the sorrow of others is good for the soul!

Now if you'll excuse me, I've got a jar of spiders I'm going to slip under the closet door.



You guys. My god. You guys.

I love you all so much. We had no idea that we'd actually hit all these goals. In one month, we've raised over $700,000 to not only create a fully-independent animated show, but hit EVERY SINGLE stretch goal we set out. Seriously, thank you.

We've got a LOT of work ahead of us, but we are so incredibly excited for it.

And if you can make it, PLEASE come to our livestream tonight, 7-10pm central (5-8 PST, 8-11 EST) so we can thank you in person and draw you a bunch of silly doodles.

And again, from the bottom of our hearts, seriously THANK YOU.

Holy crap, you guys! While we were nuzzled asleep here in Fort Collins after a long day of non-stop writing, you guys blew that 10 episode stretch goal out of the water!

Now we're only 20k away from a special DEPRESSING EPISODE. You have no idea how excited that makes us.

I wonder if we can hit that goal by tonight. Because after that, we've got one last MAJOR goal: year long shorts! It's a tough one, but might actually do it. What the hell. WE MIGHT HIT EVERY STRETCH GOAL.

Wow. You're all awesome.

Not only are we going to release The Cyanide and Happiness Show this fall, but you've unlocked six months of shorts, an exclusive Purple Shirted Eye Stabber Plushie, a flip book, AND the swimsuit calendar!

Do you want to see an entire Depressing episode? Than help us spread the word, there's only five days left to help us get there! Check out our Kickstarter here!

Don't forget, on the last day (March 17) we're hosting a three hours end-of-Kickstarter Draw-A-Thon from 7-10pm Central. You'll be able to watch the live webcast of the guys drawing improvised, collaborative sketches of suggestions you post in the chat window.

If you haven't seen the guys pull these sketches off at a convention, here's one of my favorites from Emerald City Comic:
