When will I get my book?! I want my freaking book!
Well, Vern, take it from a master historian who has mesmorized every date of the post-martian era – Rome wasn’t built in a day! And neither is a graphic novel, buddy! We’re talkin’ ‘bout 12-18 months of blood, sweat, and comic book ink. We’re aimin’ for that 12-month mark, but you never know what kinds of delays hit an art team. Sickness. Biblical Plagues. KFC gorgin’ and runs to the b-… you get my point. So we’re givin’ ourselves a little leeway. But we’re gonna work HARD to meet that deadline, KnoWhutImean?

What if my address changes before the book ships?
When the book is ready, we’re gonna send out this thing called a survey to your email. That’s where you can update your address, so we know exactly where to send your shiny new graphic novel. Easy does-er. But make sure you update those surveys, ‘cause if the book ships to the wrong address, we can’t pay for extra shipping again. Timbuktu ain’t exactly close.

A year?! What am I gonna do to pass the time?!
Well Vern, I got just the content you’ve been hankerin’ for! You’ll notice each of the rewards have an upgraded “Deep Dive” tier where we bundle together the “Ernest Goes to Comics Podcast” and a digitalized version of the 1993 “Ask Ernest” book together with the graphic novel. These two items are gonna drop when the Kickstarter ends so you’ll get content to tide you over until the graphic novel is ready, KnoWhutImean?
PODCAST: Corey Perkins and co-host Geoff Yearwood will interview the owner of the film franchise Josh Cherry, Jim Varney’s nephew and biographer, Justin Lloyd, Jim Varney’s niece Andrea Lloyd, and the entire team (and much more!). We’ll release a bundle of episodes in late October and then release episodes monthly.
When the book is finally in your hands, they’ll do a special behind-the-scenes read-a-long podcast series where you’ll be able to read a chapter of the graphic novel, and then go listen to a podcast episode where we tell behind-the-scenes stories of how and why that was written! You’ll be an Ernest story pro!
ASK ERNEST: It’s a rare, priceless, out-of-print gem of a book where the beloved Ernest P. Worrell dishes on ground-breaking stuff sure to make you cackle, like:
*“How to eat a scorpion?” and “Proper Flea Market Etiquette”
*Survival tips like, “If you can’t pay rent, how to eat the Ask Ernest book”
*Recipes like Walnut Carp
*And even hard-hitting science, like “Where would we be without hormones?”
And more! You’ll have plenty to keep you busy, Vern!

What is BackerKit?
BackerKit is a service that crowdfunded project creators use to keep track of hundreds to tens of thousands of backers—from shipping details, pledge levels, preferences and quantities, whether they have paid or had their card declined, special notes, and everything in between!
The BackerKit software and support team is independent from the campaign’s project team—BackerKit does not handle the actual reward shipping. For more information about the preparation or delivery status of your rewards, please check the project's updates page.
How does BackerKit work?
After the campaign ends, the project creator will send you an email with a unique link to your survey. You can check out a walkthrough of the process here.
I never received my invitation. How do I complete the survey?
The most common reasons for not receiving a survey email is that you may be checking an email inbox different from the email address you used to sign up with Kickstarter, Indiegogo or Tilt Pro account, or it may be caught in your spam filter.
Confirm that the email address you are searching matches the email address tied to your Kickstarter, Indiegogo, or Tilt Pro account. If that doesn’t work, then try checking your spam, junk or promotions folders. You can also search for "backerkit” in your inbox.
To resend the survey to yourself, visit the project page and input the email address associated with your Kickstarter, Indiegogo or Tilt Pro account.
How do I update my shipping address?
BackerKit allows you to update your shipping address until the shipping addresses are locked by the project creator. To update your address, go back to your BackerKit survey by inputting your email here.
When will my order be shipped, charged or locked?
That is handled directly by the project creator. BackerKit functions independently of the project itself, so we do not have control of their physical shipping timeline. If you want to check on the project’s status, we recommend reading over the project's updates page.
I completed the survey, but haven't received my rewards yet. When will they arrive?
As BackerKit does not actually handle any rewards or shipping, the best way to stay updated on the shipping timeline would be to check out the project's updates page.
