Skin Horse 11 & 12 Funding Now!
Shaenon: This is it! We’re crowdfunding the final two volumes of Skin Horse on Zoop now. If you’d like to back them and get books, head on over. Thanks so much for sticking with us through this strange trip, and please keep reading to the very end.
Channing: Love you all!
That . . . was a good story. Thank you!
Daggonnit! No wrap-up on Ira, AGI, the Dane? Unity never gets her lightsaber? The Dork Knight never piles it in in a sewage treatment plant and gets fired? Bubbles and her cobra, just vanish?
I knew this day was coming, I just hate it being here…
Bubbles and the cobras got on the flying saucer. I presume they’re still there.
I’ve been saving mine for the actual last day. I think I’ve got a dozen.
“please keep reading to the very end”.
That doesn’t say “end of the line, folks!” to me. It says “end of the line is approaching, start checking you have all your luggage with you.”
Ah, this has been such a wonderful experience! I can’t even take it in, and even now that it’s ended, all I want to do is start reading again from the beginning. I was so killing myself trying to guess what the final few comics would be, and I never even got close (of course) even though in retrospect the whole thing couldn’t have been more perfect (also of course).
You both are amazing, and I hope I’m lucky enough to get to follow literally whatever either of you do in the future, no matter what it is. Thank you so, so much!
There are no words that could fully express such the bittersweet emotions this moment brings. Your works have touched the hearts and minds of many, and will be remembered fondly (and no doubt re-read with nostalgia) in the time to come.
Farewell and good fortune
But Steve, you’re right. Dang, that was a good story! Thanks to Shaenon and Channing and everyone else involved!

It’s not the end of the strip! Not quite! Tune in on Monday…
Hurray! Thanks for telling us… especially because I was finding myself coming back here every five minutes to read the comments and nod emphatically at the sentiments. I’ll pencil that in for Monday instead!
Thank you Shaenon and Jeff!
It was a blessed day that I stumbled upon this strange comic.
What a remarkable journey!
I love this picture of you two, especially your hand.
Please don’t change it.
Because we all know
Hands are hard to draw.
U.N.I.T.Y. approves of the droit à gauche fashion trend.
And now I’m going to have to go back and re-read the whole thing just to see if Unity ever actually did it.
I especially like how Jeff is staring at Shaenons hand and thinking,
“Hang on, something’s not right here. Was Shaenons hand always like that? Doesn’t that hurt? Is Shaenon U.N.I.T.Y?”
So is Zoop like a new crowdfunding site?
It is indeed.
Well, I somehow wound up pledging three times. My mistake, navigating a new crowdfunding site. I canceled that and pledged again once. But if all four go through, I’ll pay. (Right now I’m as flush as Cousin Bidet.)
It’s one that still needs work, TBH, and I have provided feedback to them on the topic.
I’m curious about what is next. I’m positive that this is not the end of the Garrity & Wells collab. I’ve met you both and I could tell you two dorks could never part. Trust me, it takes one to know one. I can’t wait for your next story.
Finally, I caught up! Now I can frantically check for updates every day, like a normal person!
Hey! Watch it with that “normal” talk around here!
All I can do is quote the best. What a long, strange trip it’s been. THank you
I don’t often comment here, though I check in every Sunday. But there’s a core group of us over on GoComics that are lamenting as well.. so thanks for letting us know it isn’t over!
The crowdfunder’s here today. The books are the end of the play. It’s been quite a run, but it’s been lots of fun. As for donating—I’m on my way.
Shaenon, Jeff and Pancha, such big love out to all of you for filling my life with joy, wonder and dragonhood.
Some people are honoured to be nominated. Others are even more honoured to be mutated!
Thanks guys
was a fun ride!
I zoop’d, and so can you 😮
I’ve been trying to decide if I should just go ahead and get the whole collection now… I probably have the funds, I’m just not so sure I have the space!
Backed, of course, but…Any reason why you switched from KS to Zoop for the very last installment?
It’s not that I have anything against Zoop intrinsically, but:
A) They only allow credit cards and not even all types, which severely limits options of non-Americans to order
B) Their payment options aren’t linked to another system (Klarna or whatever) meaning we’re supposed to hand over credit card details to yet another new site
C) Registering somehow automatically signed me up for a list? I haven’t dared click the confirmation link in my mailbox because I really don’t want YET ANOTHER page to start sending me daily/weekly spam. So now I don’t know if my user’s been properly confirmed or not, I know I don’t want to click any link that says “click here to confirm your subscription”. Which makes me unsure if my pledge was received and is now giving me anxiety I’ll miss out on the backer sketch.
We weren’t happy with Kickstarter’s decision to pivot to blockchain and its failure to explain what that would involve or answer questions from users, so we agreed to find a different crowdfunding service. I hope Zoop turns out to be a good experience.
Fair enough; I hope it’s a good experience for all involved 🙂
Is it possible to add on a set of PDFs of the complete series to the print copies of volume 11 & 12? I have all the earlier books in print, but wouldn’t mind having an electronic copy as well.
