Some comic publishers spend a lot of time trying to figure out exactly which shelf every book belongs on. Fun Time Go! feels more like somebody kicked the shelf over, dumped out the toy box and started making comics out of whatever looked the most fun.

David Hedgecock and Chase Marotz join me on the Comic Crusaders Podcast to talk about the growing Fun Time Go! universe, independent publishing, crowdfunding and what happens when you stop waiting for somebody else to decide whether your weird idea deserves to exist.

One of the books driving that attitude is SUGAR BOMB, Fun Time Go!’s over-the-top sci-fi superhero comedy. This thing proudly runs on chaos, absurdity and a cybernetic heroine trying to survive adventures alongside a wildly inappropriate dolphin sidekick. If that sentence made you stop and read it twice, GOOD. That’s kind of the point.

There’s also more SUGAR BOMB coming. The next Kickstarter campaign has shifted to mid-November, which means the new campaign is not open for backing yet. Fans who want to be there from the start should follow Fun Time Go! on Kickstarter now and be ready when the new campaign launches.

That madness is only part of the Fun Time Go! identity. Super Kaiju Rock-N-Roller Derby Fun Time Go! combines giant monsters, roller derby and rock and roll because apparently choosing only one ridiculous thing wasn’t enough. Miss Mina and the Midnight Guardians takes the company into supernatural adventure territory, giving David, Chase and company a playground that can jump genres without every book feeling like it came out of the same machine.

That’s where our conversation really gets fun. We get into what makes something worthy of the Fun Time Go! logo, how David and Chase balance publishing and editorial responsibilities, what crowdfunding actually demands once the excitement wears off, why direct relationships with readers matter and whether independent publishers can create sustainable businesses without following the old playbook. There’s a business behind all this insanity, but nobody ever said the business had to become boring.

Check out the full conversation, dig into what Fun Time Go! is building, and if SUGAR BOMB sounds like your flavor of comic-book madness, follow Fun Time Go! on Kickstarter now so you’re ready when the new campaign goes live in mid-November.
