Having just fulfilled their most recent Kickstarter, The Princess Who Saved Herself, Greg Pak and Takeshi Miyazawa have just announced a new children’s book Kickstarter, ABC Disgusting, a 36 page alphabet book that tells the story of a brother alphabetizing disgusting things to his older sister, only to have her turn the tables on him.
Official press release:
PAK AND MIYAZAWA LAUNCH “ABC DISGUSTING” CHILDREN’S BOOK KICKSTARTERNew York, NY – June 29, 2015. This morning, writer Greg Pak and artist Takeshi Miyazawa launched a Kickstarter for ABC Disgusting, a children’s alphabet book about disgusting things. The book will be colored by Jessica Kholinne with letters by Simon Bowland, reuniting the art team behind the Kickstarter blockbuster hits The Princess Who Saved Herself and Code Monkey Save World.ABC Disgusting tells the story of a boy trying to shock his older sister with an alphabetical series of disgusting things. But in the end, she hits him with what might be the biggest gross-out of all.
WARNING: VERY DISGUSTING. (And maybe a little heartwarming.) INCLUDES FLATULENCE, LAMPREYS, MAYONNAISE MILK SHAKES, NOSE HAIR, ZOMBIES AND ZORILLAS.
“This is a book for anyone who’s ever laughed at a fart,” says Pak. “I’m also hoping it might be particularly great for reluctant readers, kids who might need a little more incentive to pick up and read a book.”“I’ve been having such a fun time drawing it, I can’t wait for everyone to see it! It makes me proud to be able to reach new readers and, just maybe, inspire them to read more or even draw something silly,” says Miyazawa.The 36 page book will be released digitally and printed as a beautiful hardcover, approximately 7″ x 10.5″. Kickstarter backers can also pick rewards that include a custom ABC Disgusting whoopie cushion or copies of the art team’s previous books, The Princess Who Saved Herself and Code Monkey Save World. A special reward at the $275 level includes two numbered, collectible, limited-edition crochet dolls or “amigurumi” created by The Artisan’s Nook. Another reward allows backers to have their likenesses drawn into the book as zombies.
