Every Friday night Will Allred and Kevin Joseph sit down to talk comics, crowdfunding, and a little bit of Pop Culture. This week Kevin got to speak one on one with Erica Schultz Cristabel Vol 1. Cristabel was originally planned by Samuel Taylor Coleridge as a five volume epic poem in which started publishing in 1997. He only ended up releasing two of the five volumes.

Erica explained that the unfinished poem had stuck with her ever since college and she wanted to finish it for Coleridge as faithfully as you could imagine him doing so. It's a very unique campaign and worth checking out.

Every Friday night Will Allred and Kevin Joseph sit down to talk comics, crowdfunding, and a little bit of Pop Culture with comic creators currently running campaigns. But sometimes we do mini episodes during the week. This is one of those times.

Because when Pat Shand can't make it on Friday night this campaign, Kevin looked at his schedule to see when we can talk to him, and they had a great thirty minute chat Thursday afternoon about Steamy, the sex positive anthology Pat co-writes with his wife Amy. The campaign can be found here:

Every Friday night Will Allred and Kevin Joseph sit down to talk comics, crowdfunding, and a little bit of Pop Culture with comic creators currently running campaigns. Will took a well deserved week off, so Kevin steered the ship this week. This week the campaigns they were introduced to were:

For the youngest children. The Super-Delish Sing Along Comic Book: Cottage Cheese. A comic for kids that comes with its own theme song. You can find the campaign here:. https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/bd4db-issue3/the-super-delish-sign-along-comic-book-cottage-cheese

Travis Gibb repped the project written, conceived and sung by Heather Gibb. Travis can be found on twitter @jesterlou

Detective Potatoes is a book created for young and reluctant readers spinning out of the Dust Bunny Mafia comic strip. The story is a comedic homage to film noir tropes and can be found here:

https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/bretjuliano/detective-potatoes-case-of-the-coffee-apocalypse

Bret can be found on twitter @dustbunnymafia

The final project we heard about was Samples from the Lab. Illustrator Rob Foote took his absurdist, and absurdly cute drawings of animals if they were spliced with foods or other animals, and crafted a journal around exactly how these mutants came together. To Kevin it sounded a little like Flowers for Algernon spliced with The Island of Dr. Moreau.

The campaign can be found here:
