Welcome to the Fat Cat Funnies page! We produce great independent comics for comic lovers.
Hey folks! If you backed the Undersea Hero campaign, you may receive an email not from me, but directly from Kickstarter if there are any payment issues (it could be an expired card or any number of things).
I saw one of the emails, and it looks like a generic message from them, so please take a look at your inbox! Thank you!
Last call for the Undersea Hero! 2 hours left at $9300!

24 HOURS LEFT ON THE UNDERSEA HERO KICKSTARTER!
BEHOLD! THE John Lucas VARIANT IN FULL COLOR! John did the pencils and inks, and I did the colors and Bronze Age-style trade dress. Please check out the campaign if you haven't yet, and thank you to everyone that has backed, shared, commented, supported, and helped make it happen. The home stretch! Link in the comments!
ONLY THREE DAYS LEFT! Check out the beautiful pencils and inks by John Lucas with a Bronze Age style trade dress mockup for his variant cover to UNDERSEA HERO on Kickstarter Now! John's work has been in such titles as Deadpool, X-Men Unlimited, Starman, Civil War, Conan, KISS, 2000 AD, The Axe of Hellena, and many more. I absolutely love his work. It embodies wonderful illustrative qualities, along with cartooning, and a deep knowledge of comic book history and language. Thank you John!
ONLY SEVEN DAYS LEFT TO BACK UNDERSEA HERO ON KICKSTARTER!
Our pal, Rich Woodall did a fabulous cover for Undersea Hero. He has a Kickstarter for his creator-owned book, Gods of Brutality launching next year. Be sure to follow his page and give it a look.
UNDERSEA HERO THE GREAT BARRIER BEEF JUST CROSSED $7K! Thank you all so much! Next stretch goal is at $7500! CHEERS!
More UNDERSEA HERO REWARD TIERS! Writing stuff in the sand is fun! At this tier, I'll write a thank you message in the sand, snap a photo of it, and send it to you. You also get the printed copy of the book, digital stuff, and any stretch goals we hit.

TWO SIGNINGS NEXT WEEK!
Saturday, 12/16, I'll be at Alternate Universe in Milford, CT!
Sunday, 12/17, I'll be at New England Comics in Quincy, MA!
I'll have variant covers and art available, be signing books (signatures are free), doing free mini sketches, and getting the word out about UNDERSEA HERO: THE GREAT BARRIER BEEF, which is on KICKSTARTER NOW!
Hope to see you there!
You ever want to be an important producer-type? Here you go, you EXECUTIVE PRODUCER OF UNDERSEA HERO, you! At this tier, you get a zoom call with me where you can act super important. We have a few laughs, talk about comic stuff, and utterly get very little accomplished, but we feel good about it for some reason. I might be able to get one of my other artist pals that did a variant to hop into the call, but I can’t guarantee it.
You get all the covers to Undersea Hero: Great Barrier Beef, you get a BIG DRAWING by Ian Chase Nichols, and you get some cool 1/1 things that will never be reproduced or recreated.
UNDERSEA HERO HAS CROSSED $6K THANK YOU ALL!
Another reward tier that's available is the PORTFOLIO REVIEW OR DIGITAL HANGOUT
I’ve been a professional comic artist, graphic designer, creative director, editor-in-chief, chief creative officer, and illustrator for over twenty years. At this tier, I can do a zoom review of your portfolio. It can be comics, design, or whatever... OR If you just want to say, “the heck with it,” and we just have lunch or an adult beverage and chat, that’s cool too. I can share some stories from behind the pages of comics. It’s your dime.
You also get all the digital rewards, print copy of the book, and stretch goals.
UNDERSEA HERO: THE GREAT BARRIER BEEF is OFICALLY a 'PROJECT WE LOVE' on Kickstarter! NEAT!
If you haven't given it a look, please check it out. Thank you again to everyone that has backed, shared, and supported the book so far!
Are you a store or online retailer that wants to put UNDERSEA HERO ON YOUR SHELF or do you want your LCS to carry UNDERSEA HERO? This is the RETAILER TIER!
First, THANK YOU! At this level, you get (6) copies of the book. You will receive (5) of the Ian Chase Nichols/standard cover, and you will get (1) of the other variant covers. In addition, you will get some promotional posters to hang in your window, as well as a counter display that I'll hand make. You'll also get a hand-written note with a doodle addressed to your store thanking you and your customers for taking a chance on me and my book.
I've worked the retail side of comics, and I know how hard it can be. Shelf space is limited, and it means a lot you'd give me a shot there.
Would you like your own EXCLUSIVE COVER for UNDERSEA HERO: THE GREAT BARRIER BEEF for your event, convention, aquarium, store, online shop, or because you just have phenomenal taste and disposable income? Here's your chance! At this level, you get 100 copies of the 64-page full color book with an exclusive cover! They'll ship directly from the printer to you.
FOR ONE KICKSTARTER ONLY, I AM OFFERING TO DO AN EXCLUSIVE COVER FOR NO ADDITIONAL FEE, just because you want 100 copies of this brand new book. The original art is not included in the price.
If you would like to draw/create your own cover or have someone else do it, their fee would have to be covered by you, and their cover would be subject to some editorial oversight by me. I welcome all sorts of styles, mediums, and approaches--painting, drawing, sculpture, mixed media, etc. (No prompt-based image generators, aka A.I art)
IF YOU WOULD LIKE MORE THAN 100 COPIES (or, in certain cases, fewer), we can arrange that. This was just a number I thought would appeal to most of my retailer and creator friends that do variants.
For custom email: [email protected]
UNDERSEA HERO has just crossed $5k! That means we hit the stretch goal were I can hire my pal Jesse Lundberg to take care of some of the flats and help me out on this GIANT book. THANK YOU!
The pledge that got us there came from Bill, and he bought the ICE JUMP IAN tier. I'm not looking forward to jumping into freezing cold water, but thank you so much for the support!
Want more ocean goodness than just the UNDERSEA HERO book? Here you go! I'll go for a walk on the beach, and I'll find a sweet shell to send to you with your print copy of UNDERSEA HERO: THE GREAT BARRIER BEEF. This tier comes with a digital copy of the book, thank you, and all of the unlocked stretch goals.
The folks over at Comic Watch were kind enough to include UNDERSEA HERO in their Krowdfunder Korner. Thank you Chad A. Burdette for the help spreading the word!

Krowdfunder Korner:
Allow me to introduce to you The Paul Storrie level of the Undersea Hero campaign. Some time ago, Paul asked the universe via a random facebook post if there could PLEASE be a reward tier that excludes all of the extra stuff that can come with a Kickstarter campaign and its stretch goals. JUST THE BOOK will provide you with just that, and it'll save you a couple of bucks.
IMPORTANT NOTE: Paul is an excellent writer, however, he did not write anything for Undersea Hero: The Great Barrier Beef. This is an honorary title and an answer to his plea.
I was so lucky to have my super-talented friends help me out on this! To go along with my cover, there are wonderful variant covers by:
Joe St.Pierre (Spider-Man, Venom, New Zodiax)
Craig Rousseau (Batman, Young Hellboy, The Perhapanauts)
Rich Woodall (TMNT, Masters of the Universe, Invincible)
and to-be-revealed mid-campaign(ish) John Lucas variant! (Deadpool, X-Force, Before Houdini)
Each cover will get a spotlight post with links to the creator's work and more information on each artist in the days to come. You can pick whichever cover you like on the campaign, and they are all the same price. 🐠🐟🐧🐬🦞🦑🐳🐋🦈🦭🦀🐡🐙
