Fail Friends!
We’re almost finished with Week One – which we guess is only five days, but a week is seven days and maybe we should be less literal – and we’re so thankful for all your support. Not only does this mean we’re on our way to getting you the sweatiest version of Mr. Lovenstein Presents: Failure that you can imagine, but it also means we’ve had to develop some new stretch goals that reflect how much we appreciate your inability to let us fail.
SPOTLIGHT ON: BRUTALLY HONEST
Today’s daily dose of failure comes to us from Deya Muniz of Brutally Honest!
ICYMI, we broke past that massive $100,000 tier and now we all get to buy some sweet pins. We appreciate everyone sharing this campaign with their friends, families and mortal enemies – the #FailUp Family is Fast, Furious and Funding some awesome stretch goals.
Until next time – keep failing!

We Are SO Close!
We are on our way to hitting $100,000.00 in pledges and unlocking the Animal Lover Pin Set as an add on purchase! So close! And yes, these super adorable pins will be there to cheer you up the next time you fail.
SPOTLIGHT ON: WAR AND PEAS
The Fail Squad is back for your daily dose of Failure – this time from special guest artists, Elizabeth Pich and Jonathan Kunz from WAR AND PEAS!
And set your calendars for the very firstIMPOSSIBLE PUZZLE stream, which is happening todayat Noon PT/3pm ET! It'll be a very long, very chill 3-hour stream where Justin slowly loses all faith in himself, humanity and his puzzling ability.
Until next time – keep failing!

Happy #FailFriday, everyone!
We made it to the end of the week! Congratulations to us all! Thanks to all of your generosity, we’ve already covered an immense amount of ground as we enter our fourth full day, but we have promises to keep, and miles to go before we sleep…and miles to go before we sleep. That’s a little Robert Frost. Didn’t know this update would get so classy, did ya?

200% FUNDED! + DAILY FAIL: Hot Paper Comics joins The Fail Squad!

Happy Thursday, Fail Friends!
We can't believe we're over 200% funded and it's only DAY THREE! We're well on our way toward making this our biggest fail of all time -- thank you SO MUCH for all your pledging and sharing -- it's REALLY helpful!
As promised, today's DAILY FAIL comes from our friend Martin Rosner at Hot Paper Comics -- remember, Martin’s comic has now been added to the book all thanks to you! Congrats to us all!
And it looks like we're WELL on our way toward hitting our next stretch goal, which is making these 3 new enamel pins available as add-ons! So please, spread the campaign far and wide and let's go get 'em! Your Gabe Pin needs a friend!
Three new friends!
LIMITED ITEM UPDATE: As we mentioned yesterday, our EPIC FAIL tier is all sold out! Congrats to the three of you that got in on that awesome level. And we're down to just SIX COMIC FAIL tiers, and the LIMITED FAIL is also going fast, so if you're a fan of limited prints & original art your time is running out! Head over to the main page and do what needs to be done before its's too late!
STRETCH GOALS UNLOCKED! + Batch 3 Stretch Goals: REVEALED! + Death Nut Level 1 Failure!
almost 5 years ago

Fail Friends!
Another day, another fail! Over 77k! Over 1200 backers! Y’all have shown an incredible commitment to failure over the last 36 hours – we really can’t believe it!
Ohhhh yeeeeah!
And just look at all the stuff you’ll be receiving now as part of your pledge. That die-cut dust jacket! Those new comics! That FREE POSTER! Thank you so, so much from the bottom of our little hearts!
And now, The Fail Squad is proud to present…STRETCH GOALS BATCH 3!
REVEALED: STRETCH GOALS BATCH 3
We know! We want those pins, too! And those bookmarks are going to be high quality with seriously thicc paper stock. You might be ashamed of your lack of reading progress, but you’ll be proud of your sweet bookmark! We also left a few batch 3 goals a mystery…we didn’t want to deny you that sweet rush of unlocking a new mystery goal. (But we bet you can guess at least one of them.)
How can we bring you these things, you ask? Well, first, remember to spread the word about the campaign! The more backers we get, the more fun stuff we can bring you!
And don’t forget about our super-rare limited items! Looks like the EPIC FAIL tier is all gone (thank you!) and we’ve still got a few COMIC FAILs left, but they’re going fast, so if you want some original art, the time to upgrade is right now!
And the fun won’t stop there – the mythical BATCH 4 STRETCH GOALS are on their way! We’ve got some truly insane things planned, but we also want to hear from you! What other stretch goals would you like to see? Tell us what you want in the comments below! If we can, we’ll make it happen! If not, well, then we’re on-brand.
DEATH NUT CHALLENGE – LEVEL 1!
Speaking of on-brand, in TRUE COMMITMENT to the bit, Justin’s twitch stream FAILED just as he started eating LEVEL 1 of the Death Nut Challenge.
*facepalm*
But it’s ok! We were still able to capture some of it for posterity…?
What’s the definition of irony? Anyway, tune in tomorrow at 2pm PT / 5pm ET to see if Justin’s internet AND intestines will survive DEATH NUT LEVEL 2! It only gets hotter from here! (No, not in that way, sorry.)
