Lets Speak English Together
If you're here for the first time, these two pages were drawn after everything else to give some context to things. Specifically for the book! If you're reading this as it goes up, the book is 90% ready!
Mary Cagle is raising funds for Let's Speak English - The Book! On Kickstarter! We're making a book that contains all of the completed webcomic Let's Speak English, along with bonus content! Speak fluent English, have natural conversations, understand English TV. Do You Want to Speak English Confidently and Fluently? Let's practice together!
I'm currently working on the extra content for the stretch goals, after which we should be all good to go! This week is major crackdown week! As for commentary on the page itself: My degree is technically 'Visual Communications Specializing in Sequential Art', which is very fancy for 'mostly drawin' comics'. It's from SCAD (The Savannah College of Art and Design), which I went to physically for a while and finished up online. I also went to Sam Houston a bit before that! Which is a very good school to go to if you plan to major in Criminal Justice and not. Which was something they offered for some reason.
I applied to interac in the spring, which is off season, so I was sent to Japan during their fill in position period in October. This basically meant that I'd be dropped in to some schools in the middle of the year, which was a bit rough at first!! But that's more a topic for the next page.
The original webcomic was hand-drawn and published online at during my stay as a teacher, and covers all kinds of topics - from dealing with language barriers to learning how to be an adult. The strip naturally ended with my return to America, and I'm finally ready to assemble my journey as a book.
I had an amazing time in Japan with all my adorable students, but creating comics has always been my passion. Now that I'm back in the US, I'm making the transition to full-time comics work!
This book will be one of my first big steps as a professional comic creator. So here it is, the 100-page(ish) softcover book of Let's Speak English! If we go beyond our goal of $10,000, we've got a few surprises in store with the Stretch Goals! At $15,000: Fancy spot gloss will be added to the matte cover so the art pops like WHOA! You won't believe it!
(You'll probably believe it.) At $20,000: I'll add additional content to the book! There's a lot of interesting stuff that happened during my trip that was hard to fit into the comics, so these would be extra pages of short stories with accompanying illustrations! At $25,000: Donations!
