This half-goblin half-pint's gotta save the world from zombies if he wants to save himself… What a bummer.

Hey there, Mr. Guy backer!
It's now two whole weeks into this campaign, and we're hovering at just TWO backers away from our next backer milestone. That means there are 73 amazing humans backing…
Which means we're planting 73 trees!
So, hey, let's talk about trees for a minute!
A Tree for Every Backer
At Oneshi press, we're what you might call "tree people." We think trees are heckin' cool, and we always have.
And it turns out, we were right! Trees are cornerstones of healthy ecosystems around the world, carbon-sequestering machines, and beautiful, too. Win-win!
So, we recently decided to make trees a part of our business model. A few months ago, we began an official reforestation partnership with OneTreePlanted.org, with the goal of planting one tree for every single backer on every single Kickstarter campaign from then on.
Now, every time we make a book, we'll plant a small forest in honor of the wonderful humans who bring our projects to life!
As of yesterday, we made our first big step toward that goal by planting a tree for every one of our 186 backers on our previous campaign—TarMucks: Cthulhu Corporate Coffee!
Here's the certificate they gave us to show off:
So, it only makes sense that our next backer milestone, when we hit 75 backers, will be an art print:
Mr. Guy and Cthulhu…Planting Trees!
When 75 people have joined our campaign, we'll unlock this beautiful print by Jayel Draco!
As you can see, rather than fighting, these two epic heroes have teamed up to plant some trees, just like we did with our last campaign…and just like we'll do with this one!
Backers at Tier 4 and higher will get a free print with their rewards, and backers at Tiers 1-3 will get a free digital version of the art!
We can't wait to unlock this goal, and we know it'll happen soon!

Hey hey hey, Mr. Guy fan!
Great news!
YOUR Support Unlocked Our $2K Milestone!
Now, every backer at the $44 level and higher will get this FREE Chibi Guy sticker designed by none other than Michel Abstracto, illustrator of Arc 7: Voidspace!
We're so excited to slip these lovely, die-cut stickers into our backers' rewards packages when we ship later this year!
You can decorate your apocalypse armor with it, or whatever…
Now, let's put on our gear and get ready to smash that 75-backer milestone goal and unleash a new, gorgeous art print by Jayel Draco, starring Mr. Guy and Cthulhu!
In the meantime, it's time to let you in on our excitement about one of our existing rewards…
The Mr. Guy Theme Song!
When we set about raising funds for the first issue of Mr. Guy: Zombie Hunter back in 2020, we were so very excited to work with David Gueringer of Next Arc Studios to create a theme song for the series.
A classically and jazz-trained pianist and clarinetist with nearly two decades of performing experience, David also had just the right sense of off-kilter humor to bring a certain special something to the Mr. Guy Theme Song…and, heck, did he ever!
We fell absolutely in love with the original theme song, which you can listen to by clicking the video below!
What a bop, right? You can't tell us you didn't dance along, or that "Call Mr. Guyyyy" isn't stuck in your head now!
Two New Versions Incoming!
The Mr. Guy: Zombie Hunter, Acts 1 & 2 campaign includes two brand-new versions of this classic theme song:
The Remastered Original Mr. Guy Theme Song
The Trap Remix of the Mr. Guy Theme Song
We're so heckin' excited to share both versions with you!
For now, they're available to backers in the $44 tier and higher, and also as add-ons for all pledge levels!
The Continent of Ashoka is home to many peoples: the spiritual Tulkans, an indigenous culture who have dwelled since creation, and the fierce Völsun Clans, ax-wielding, blonde-haired warriors who sailed for these shores eons ago. Both lived in relative peace until the arrival of the Gallian Empire and other kingdoms from across the sea. Now the colonists look West. Beyond the Cinder Mountains, it is said, dwells the realm of the Horned Ones.
Only the Great Eagles, giant flying beings born of Light, can hold back the march of the Horned Ones, and their blight from consuming the world. There is only one problem: the Eagles haven’t been seen in hundreds of years... until now!

Hello again, Mr. Guy fan!
We're thisclose to the $2K mark, and we want to celebrate with something super fun when we get to that milestone!
With that in mind, we're introducing…
A brand-new sticker design from Michel Abstracto!
We love this chibi take on Mr. Guy and his pal Spooky, armed to the teeth with zombie-destruction gear but still looking cute as all get-out!
Here's the Plan…
When we hit $2K in funding, we'll add one of these die-cut stickers to every order of $44 or higher!
That means that every backer at Pledge Tier 4 and higher automatically gets the sticker, totally free, with their rewards!
If you're below that level, you can up your pledge to get the sticker…and help us hit that $2K goal sooner!
Thanks so much for your support so far, folks! Let's hit this milestone!
About Michel Abstracto
It's all the work of Michel Abstracto, who illustrated "Arc 7: Voidspace," where Mr. Guy asks the Elder Gods for help fixing the zombie apocalypse!
Here are a few peeks at the gorgeous work Michel did for that arc…
Mr. Guy and Spooky enjoy long walks on the beach…
…facing down incomprehensible aspics…
…and chilling with the Great Old Ones.
Michel Abstracto (he/they), illustrator of Mr. Guy: Act2, Arc 7, is a freelance illustrator & cartoonist of mid-Missouri. He's been featured in the local newspapers for his cartoons & has done commission work for publishers such as Oneshi Press & Dark Man Comics. Most recently he has been working as the artist/colorist for the comic series Tales of Intoxica that just funded its first issue on Kickstarter! His style combines influences from creators such as Skottie Young, Rob Guillory, & Ryan Stegman.
Hazel, a pre-teen girl living in suburbia, is having a typical, boring evening when she’s startled by the premonition of a dragon awakening from a centuries-long nap. As surprised as she is by the vision, she’s absolutely shocked when her cat, Mooney, opens his mouth and tells her that he too had the same premonition.
Mooney knows of only one man brave and mighty enough to go toe to toe with a dragon, the mighty warrior, Beowulf. Unfortunately, he's been reincarnated as this guy...
Victor's an unemployed millennial slacker who can't even get his life together much less slay a dragon…
Crossover Print with Ichabod Jones: Monster Hunter!

Aw, heck, Mr. Guy reader!
We've got a whole new crossover art print for you to enjoy!
Our friend Russell Nohelty is Kickstarting the FINAL issue of his amazing series, Ichabod Jones: Monster Hunter right now.
We love this series, so naturally, we had to make a crossover art piece of Mr. Guy and Ichabod Jones fighting off the hordes of imaginary and not-so-imaginary foes that plague them both!
Behold…
A Crossover Print for Ichabod Jones: Monster Hunter!
All you have to do to preorderyour Kickstarter-exclusiveprint is:
Ta-daa! That's it! We'll include this glorious print with your Mr. Guy rewards when we ship at the end of this year!
What's Ichabod Jones: Monster Hunter All About?
Ichabod Jones is about a mental patient that escapes from an asylum and becomes a monster hunter during the Apocalypse, but he doesn't know if he's killing monsters, humans, or it's all in his head the whole time.
Ichabod has been imprisoned in a mental asylum for crimes he definitely committed. When he was arrested, the police found him wrist-deep in the guts of his latest victim.
While he's never claimed he was innocent, he says he only committed atrocious acts because an authoritative, and unwelcome, voice in his head told him he was doing God's work.
He tried to say no to the voice, but it was very insistent and persuasive. It told Ichabod that the people he was killing were monsters and he was saving the world by murdering them.
