(Cross-posted from the Peter & Company main site)

Hello, everyone!

I'm taking a brief break this week from updating the comic for a few reasons. Most importantly, this week has been CRAZY busy with preparations for the upcoming pilot episode! To those who missed the announcement, last Monday we managed to hit our $10,000 goal for the Kickstarter campaign, which means the pilot episode has officially been given the green light! We are good to go and the work is already beginning.

But we're not done yet!! As of the date of this post, we still have one more week to go until the deadline! This means we can continue to bring in additional funds to really push the quality of the project as high as possible! Every new donation that comes in will help us afford more voice actors, original music, and more advertising for when the episode is complete and ready to pitch.

Of course, this also means that all of the rewards for the campaign are still up for grabs! So anyone who was hoping to land a cameo appearance in the comic or pilot episode -- or even add their own character to the permanent cast -- still has a week left to make it happen! Whitney and I have already begun working with a few of the folks who donated the top spot to create their new characters, and I can guarantee that they are going to be awesome new additions to Peter & Company universe. I can't wait to debut them in the comic.

So please, everyone: continue to spread the word about the Kickstarter campaign! Until the time runs out on the clock, the doors are still open to receive donations. We want to make this episode the absolute best that it can be, so that we can get the attention of the networks and get Peter & Company onto TV! Thank you so much to EVERYONE who has donated so far and helped spread word by sharing the links around various social media. Let's give this project one last push across the finish line!

Click here to donate to the project!!

Jonathan Ponikvar
Artist
United States
My name is Jonathan Ponikvar. I'm a published comic artist who graduated from SCAD with a Bachelor's in Sequential Art (comics and cartooning), with additional graduate-level training under my belt in the same field. I now work professionally as a Web Administrator/Codemonkey for a government contractor in Washington, D.C. while producing/publishing my own comics on the side. I've also been known to play some crazy piano on occasion.

Sites for my comics:

Peter and Company - "What if, to a child, what appeared to be an imaginary friend was actually a guardian angel?" My first and primary comic project, following the story of Peter, a young cat, and Seth, a duck whom only Peter can see.

The Chronicles of Ademar - An upcoming graphic novel I am currently producing. Sold in issue format and finished in traditional ink wash and watercolors. Sample pages and concept art can be seen here in my DA gallery.

The Inking Room - A webshow I produce several times a week, hosted on UStream. I turn the cam on for a few hours a night just to work on art projects, offer live tutorials for viewers, and just act generally goofy. Sometimes I draw or paint, while other times I just play piano. Archives and recorded video sessions are hosted and embedded on the main site.

*sigh* ...Yes, it does. I have a number of more adult-rated comics on my galleries on other sites (featuring Whitney and Peter aged in their mid-20's), but specifically have not posted them on here. That person (whoever they are) apparently decided to take it upon themselves to upload it here without my permission.

I've reported the image and asked them to take it down. I mean, heck, if I wanted those pages to be posted here, I would have just uploaded them myself. Why do people think they can post whatever they find lying around the internet?

I don't know but there's a lot of them.
Keep an eye on this goon. People like that don't often stop with just one stolen image.
