episode 25: Save the Kickstarter, Save the World with Jonathan Coulton and Greg Pak
It started as Twitter banter and turned into a blockbuster Kickstarter. The Internet's Jonathan Coulton and the comic world's Greg Pak have known each other since college. And when Greg put the bug in Jonathan's ear about creating a series of comic books based on heros and villains in Jonathan's songs, they began a-plotting.
A few months later, Code Monkey Saves World launched as a crowdfunding campaign, blew through its goal, and kept stretching and stretching in a way that might strain even Mr. Fantastic or Plasticman — or even an everyday code monkey. Jonathan and Greg join me to talk about how they planned, executed, and extended their project.
