CLAPTRAP Tuesday Update!
Desmond wrote this week’s CLAPTRAP update, which you can read here. He details the process for how backers at the “Doofus” level and up can nominate and vote on two of the spoofs we’ll be doing for the book! He also reveals how we will be revealing a second sneak peek of one of our movie parodies TOMORROW! That’s a reveal of a reveal. Unreal.
We reached our first stretch goal on Sunday, so ALL backers getting a physical shipment (that’s “Clod” level and up) will now get a 2″x9″ full color exclusive backer bookmark with their book, featuring art by me! That’s amazing, and thanks to all those who have backed our project!!
The big stretch goal is $55k, which if we reach it means Des and I will add another spoof to the book, turning it up to 11! (Could that be a hint??) There’s just under another $5k to go to hit that goal. That might seem like a lot, but that is only about 200 copies of the book. MAD‘s circulation in 2019 was 150,000 copies. That means we only need another .00014% of MAD readers to shell out a lousy $25 to get this hardcover, oversized, glossy paged book full of parodies of awesome movies to put us over the top! We just need to get the campaign in front of fresh eyeballs.
So, spread the word. Share the link. If you haven’t backed the book yet, get on board! This world needs as many laughs as it can get.

Heya, if you guys need help crunching the numbers when votes come in – or if you want to switch from receiving e-mail to using an online survey – let me know, glad to help out. I’m stalking you on Twitter and am an investor (such a grand way to describe my measly contribution) in Claptrap. I also have a big fancy graduate degree in Lies, Damned Lies and Statistics (not necessarily in that order) and a deft hand with spreadsheets.

I’ll never forget the day you revealed to me that it was time for me to reveal the reveal that would reveal our next reveal. It was revelatory.
