Best(Worst) Family Vacation Story Bonus Winners

A few days ago, we ran a little contest in the updates where we asked our backers for the best (or worst) family vacation stories.  You can read all the entries here.

Lot's of great ones, but we've selected two to be our bonus winners:

First up, congrats to John Nacinovich for surviving this ordeal. I (Tyler) commiserate completely with John, as someone deathly afraid of sharks whose parents also thought it'd be a grand idea to go to Martha's Vineyard shortly after the release of Jaws 4. Shark billboards everywhere! 

We also want to recognize Ryan Claytor, for making a memorable leech stomping memory with his boy just this month!

Thanks so much for participating.  We'll be giving both backers $20.00 worth of ComixTribe bonus backer bucks that they can use when they fill out our Kickstarter survey on add-ons, extras or pledge upgrades!

HH #1H - Franck Uzan Batman #423 McFarlane Homage Cover UNLOCKED IF WE HIT $20K!

Franck has done a number of cool exclusive variants for us in the past for Wailing Blade and Sink, so we were thrilled he wanted in on HAPPY HILL.

Best (or Worst) Family Vacation Story... Go!
almost 3 years ago – Wed, Aug 04, 2021 at 01:29:13 PM

Hey, Tyler James, ComixTribe publisher here! It's been a few days since a Kickstarter update, and that's on me, because me and my family were able to sneak off for a mini-vacation so that my 3-year old boy could get his first theme park experience! 

We hit up Santa's Village in Jefferson, NH, and I gotta say, you really couldn't ask for much more in an amusement park geared toward families with very young children. Highly recommended! 

Backer Bonus: Tell Us Your Best (or Worst) Family Vacation Story

To add a little flavor to the home stretch of this campaign, we're going to open up another backer bonus game... 

Since the promise of Happy Hill is the ultimate vacation getaway, we thought it would be fun to hear YOUR vacation stories. 

In the comments below this post, share a concise recap of your BEST (or WORST) family vacation story! 

We'll be hooking up one or two backers whose stories we select with an awesome ComixTribe bonus! 

Get your stories in no later than Friday, Aug 6 at midnight EDT to be eligible for the bonus!
