My name is Tom De Geeter from Marathon of Dope and I’m the creator of a new comic book series called CGI Buffalo. Drawing, graphic design and music have been my passion for the last 20 years. I’m glad to say it’s also been my daily income for the last 15 years.
I wrote this first script and created the comic over the course of the last year. I’m really proud of the series I created and I think you’re gonna like it. I’m asking for your support to create physical copies of the first 3 issues.

After Ceegee gets a bunch of clues trough his every day life of being a radio host and hanging at the local record store, he goes into a downward spiral of paranoia and delusion.

Risks & Challenges
Challenge #1: It’s our first time.
This is the first crowdfunding project for Marathon of Dope. We know and understand that this will be learning experience for everyone involved. We hope that by setting a modest goal, we can learn from the experience and plan more ambitious projects in the future.
Challenge #2: Will I actually get a copy of the book?
Sometimes a project comes to Indiegogo before the final product is complete. We are fortunate in that 2 of the 3 books is finished. We have 26 full color pages (and cover art) ready to go to the printer. The money that we raise here will be going towards the printing and shipping costs.
Challenge #3: Why Another Comic Book?
We understand that there are many projects out there hoping to get your support. We have tried to create backer rewards for all levels of interest in this project. We believe that our story is unique, our art is beautiful, and the product we are creating is a great value to you.
Challenge #4: Issue One to Three? Is this a series?
Yes, this is the first of what we hope will be a nine part series. We have scripts for the future books. It is our hope that readers will enjoy this book, and support future installments.
