Kickstarter $10K Anno
I usually write these annos a few days to a few weeks in advance, just to keep ’em coming steadily without slowing up the rest of my life too much. So I gotta say, I wasn’t exactly expecting the protest scenes in Chapter 24 to be so… timely, when I was writing them up. Stay safe, if you can.
Likewise, there are a couple of jokes in this promo video that make 2020-me think, Wow, if we only knew, and I can’t decide whether that makes them less humorous today or more. I’m pretty sure you can pick ’em out for yourself.
Edit: apparently a lot of people are unable to see the video below for reasons I don’t understand (it shows up fine for me). You may be able to see it at our original Kickstarter page (note that the first thing you see on that page is an image; you have to scroll down just a bit to get to the video).
Can we get a link to the animation(s) mentioned?
Beats me why this isn’t showing up, but try going to https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/philkahn/guilded-age-vol-2-and-animated-shorts
I think you need to change http to https in the iframe tag.
Could be. Done.
This hasn’t been the only comic that has been so ‘timely’ in its reruns or current form. Either you writers and artists are uncannily prescient or the coincidences have just been surreal. Either way, even unintended as they are, they are serving as a commentary to the real events here in ‘sepia world’ (to draw an anchor to the story), and serve as a reminder just how real the issues we’re facing here, while giving us a needed break from living through History.
Thank you for that.
Alternate Theory: There’s so much crazy stuff going on in real life (if we may call it that) that almost any fantastical story from the old days now has a parallel playing out somewhere
Wow, timely or not, I hadn’t seen that video before and it got a big laugh out of me. Thanks!!!!
2:49 of that video marks the only instance of Best and Bandit together in GA History!
I guess that depends on your definition of “together”. See Chapter 2, page 8.
There’s an empty void for said video, but no video to speak of? I checked on multiple devices and browsers.

I can’t see any video if there’s meant to be one here

When you get to the Ask An Adventurer strips and other Kickstarter reward bits, any chance that you could do them in batches between chapters? That would stop them breaking up the flow of the story
The best writing always seems timely. That’s why we have classics- those works of art which survived their original cultural context to retain and maintain meaning through generations of change.
