Ya know, Vern. It has come to yer good ol' buddy Ernest's attention that some folks who bought the podcast tier still haven't gone to the discord to have a listen. And now when they try, the freakin' link ain't workin'!
So tell ya' what, Vern. If anyone purchased a podcast tier and still hasn't gotten access to the discord, just send us a personal message here on Kickstarter and we'll send you an invite link!
Cause Vern, It's great! The Eggheaded host Corey Perkins and his crappy co-host Geoff "The Sexy Alligator" Yearwood talk extensively about yers truly! Heck Vernon, they've already released 10 full episodes!
So Don't blink, get a new discord link, cause the Ernest Goes to Comics Podcast is better than Vern's Shrink!
February Update!

Howdy, Vernons! Hope y’all are staying out of trouble—or at least making it entertaining.
Want to see what the artistic process looks like? First, Arief Russanto, our illustrator, creates page layouts. Once approved, he pencils and then inks them. Finally, Mariam Yasser, our colorist, applies the colors on top.
Check out the process below!
That's right Vernon, our graphic novel will soon reach numero uno in the world rankings... comprendo, deja vu?
Our team is churning away, steadily making progress. We're currently about done with 23 pages. Is it taking a little longer than we expected? Sure. We want to be upfront about that. But is it because they're working so hard to make our pages absolutely stunning? Oh, you better believe it!
They are obsessing over every single detail to make sure this book feels as true and authentic as possible. Every page is packed with personality, heart, and so much detail.
Here's a sneak peek of the page we showed you last month, now with Mariam Yasser's beautiful and detailed colors!
We’re so proud of the work our team is doing, and we cannot wait for you to see the finished book. Thanks for being part of this adventure. Stay tuned for our March update next month!

Happy New Years! Your January Update

Hola a los Vernons!
And a Feliz Año Nuevo to all my fellow Ernest enthusiasts! I hope your year is already off to the kind of start where others "KnoWhutUmean!" As for our little corner of chaos and creativity, I wanted to share a quick update on the graphic novel.
First, let me say this—our team is absolutely bringing their A-game. Things are moving a teensy bit slower than we hoped. We’ve got 16 pages illustrated so far.
The good news is, wowza, do they look detailed, beautiful, and bursting with enough of that Ernest magic and heart to power an overly complex garbage truck with mops and roller skates!
I don't always want to show you updates, because I'm mindful of spoilers. But this one is spoiler-free. Feast your eyes on this penciled and inked page by Arief Russanto.
Thank you for your patience and support. This project exists because of you, and we’re so excited to keep building it together. We'll check back in next month for another update!

Hey there, Vernons!
We hope this message finds you as excited as we are about bringing Ernest & the Dream Stone to life! We wanted to take a moment to share where we’re at and wish you a great holiday season.
After the campaign wrapped up, it took nearly three weeks for the bank transfer process to complete, which meant we couldn’t officially start production until November. The art team is now hard at work on early pages, which are looking beautiful! We’ll keep you posted as production progresses.
From all of us here at Ernest Goes to Comics, we hope you had a brilliant Thanksgiving...
And we wish you a Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays!
We’ll be back with another update in January 2025 to keep you in the loop as we march forward.
