Here are a few things JL Westover has to say about Zach Stafford aka Extra Fabulous:

  • "There's no one more humble than the man who named his own comics "Extra Fabulous" on day one."
  • "Zach is the Jar Jar Binks of comics. He’s that good."
  • "I didn’t think it was possible to shove that much talent into one man until I saw Zach’s giant, swollen body."
  • "Only Zach is capable of creating the most depraved comics you’ve ever seen and then turn around and make incredibly wholesome Deogie comics."

And Finally...

  • "It goes without saying that Extra Fabulous is one of the greatest comics of all time so I won’t."

Happy 1 Year Failureversary! + Big Announcement Coming Soon!
almost 4 years ago – Fri, Apr 22, 2022 at 02:24:42 PM

Fail Friends! 

One year ago today, we embarked on the biggest FAILURE the world had ever seen... and now, on 4/20/2022, after battling through one Failure after another, we have nearly reached complete fulfillment! Are you fulfilled? Do you feel that sweet, sweet fulfillment???

BUT if you're one of the few that hasn't received your stuff yet, it's likely you FAILED to complete your survey, or the post office FAILED to deliver your package, or you live in Europe and things are just taking a little longer than we'd like. In any event, please send us an email at [email protected] if you are one of The Unfulfilled and we will get things sorted out! When you're a Fail Friend, we leave no Failure behind!  

We've also got an exciting, nay, FABULOUS, announcement coming soon...so stay tuned for more good stuff!

Until then – keep failing!

Fail Friends!

We missed you! It's your friendly neighborhood Fail Squad back with another important update. First, the good news: Everything has arrived at our fulfillment center! That's right, we've got it all ready to go - books, trophies - you name it! But as we were prepping everything to send, we ran into some unexpected problems with the stickers which have have delayed things a bit more. Not to worry, it's not a significant delay, but since our goal from the beginning has been to deliver the biggest and best possible Failure, we needed to take a beat to make sure we got it right. 

BUT we're almost there, we promise - here's the latest on our fulfillment projections by territory:

United States, Canada & Rest of World from QML

·  Fulfillment Timeline/Status: Late January/Early February

United Kingdom & European Union from Spiral Galaxy

·  Fulfillment Timeline/Status: February 

Asia, Australia & New Zealand from VFI

·  Fulfillment Timeline/Status: In progress! 

So hang tight! It's all happening very soon. We're excited for you to get your stuff!

And if you need anything at all, please send us an email: [email protected]

Until next time - Keep Failing!!

FULFILLMENT UPDATE: Almost there...
over 4 years ago – Sat, Dec 11, 2021 at 02:27:32 AM

Fail Friends!

It's been a minute and we wanted to keep you up-to-date on all things fulfillment for MR. LOVENSTEIN PRESENTS: FAILURE. 

As we mentioned last time, it's been a real challenge to predict freight/shipping times given the global supply chain problem, but we have hit a few key milestones which lead us to believe that fulfillment on this project is IMMINENT! The books are all officially stateside and are on their way to our fulfillment center where they will be packaged up with love and possibly other items like mugs, stickers, and jigsaw puzzles. 

Here's the updated fulfillment timeline for y'all -- again, we sincerely apologize for the delay on these, but there's really nothing we can do but wait. That said, we're VERY VERY close! We will follow up again with an official update once fulfillment has begun.  

United States, Canada

  • Fulfillment Timeline/Status: Late Dec/Early Jan 

United Kingdom & European Union

  • Fulfillment Timeline/Status: January 

Asia, Australia & New Zealand

  • Fulfillment Timeline/Status: IN PROGRESS! (Lucky you!)  

Rest of World

  • Fulfillment Timeline/Status: January

Until next time - keep failing!!!
