Thank you! and New Milestone Goals
Added 2017-05-01 13:54:04 +0000 UTCA very heartfelt THANK YOU to all of my patrons. I still can't believe the sheer volume of riffing I've been able to produce in the last year and I owe it all to you. This is a dream come true. Thanks especially for sticking with me through the move to Agonywolf, and for stepping up to fill in the gap when we lost a few pledges.
I'm committed to raising my Patreon game in the coming months, and that means finding new ways to draw and reward patrons. We've hit and maintained the "weekly riffs" goal, which is incredible, and I've been brainstorming about what the next level might entail. I have a couple of ideas I'd like to run by you:
1. Serial riffs! I've just set a new milestone goal for $150/video, at which point I will ask your help in selecting a serial or series of shorts or shows to riff, with the resulting videos being exclusive to Patreon until they hit DVD.
2. Custom Fun With Shorts Artwork? Another even zanier idea I've had is to create some custom artwork based on the more memorable characters from the Fun With Shorts universe. These designs would be available exclusively to patrons as everything from personalized sketches to possibly even t-shirts. Cool, right?
Please let me know what you think about these new perks, and feel free to share your own thoughts and ideas. What would you like to see from Fun With Shorts in 2017?
Thanks again! See you in a few days with a brand new riff.
-Josh

As to art, I myself simply can't afford art, largely because of the cost of framing. And I already have way more stuff than I can handle, as is. I have to carry out art and photos that aren't on the walls, because my house has to be treated for flease, again, even though we've been paying exterminators, for yeas, to prevent this.If anyone contracts with exterminators, make sure to tell them to do what it takes to keep out mice and their fleas.

2017-05-06 02:06:08 +0000 UTCHi, Josh, That's great news. I'm glad I'm not the only one who decided to give 'til it hurts a little, to make up for people who should realize that political extremes on both sides are proper fodder for jokes. (Do try to go after both sides. They share blame, especially for stirring each other up to ever more crankiness.) I think a serial would be a good project. I guess there are a lot of serials that MST3K never got around to covering. I don't even begin to know how to look them up, to see what's available. You seem to have a flair for instructional videos, and so many of the original had good points to make, even if they seemed written and directed by Kilgore Trout. So maybe something historic, such as World War 2 training video. Some of those were cartoons. Or are there any TV cartoon series that are in the public domain, yet? Anything racist would be a good target. Rip those lawful and chaotic evil jerks a new one!
