If you enjoy golf and comic books then you need to contribute to Birdie Robot Golf’s Kickstarter campaign in support of its new golf webcomic!
Creating a golf-inspired webcomic from scratch is not easy! That's why Birdie Robot Golf is seeking your support! They have launched a Kickstarter campaign with a goal of USD 12,720 to help cover the labor costs associated with the development of the new webcomic they are working on and to fund the manufacturing of merchandise related to the project. As part of the campaign, they have also created the Weekend Warriors Golf Association, an online community that will host special events and giveaways in the future.

The webcomic, which is still being developed, follows Godolfo "Godo" Golpher, an engineer whose analytical tendencies often interfere with his performance on the golf course. Together with his co-workers Frank Fader, Roberto "Tito" Teeoff, and Darla Dibot, Godo formulates an AI-assisted plan to try and improve his game.
“The webcomic is a marriage of our two greatest passions: cartoons and golf,” explained a spokesperson for Birdie Robot Golf. “For us, it is a great way to examine the ups and downs of a sport that is both easy to love and hate.”
While Birdie Robot Golf has completed the narrative arc of the webcomic, they are still making some final tweaks to jokes and individual scenes. The artist behind the visuals of the webcomic, CZero, is also hard at work putting the finishing touches on the illustrations.
Birdie Robot Golf plans to publish 50 black-and-white strips and 50 larger full-colored strips twice per week on Wednesdays and Sundays starting the week following the conclusion of the Kickstarter campaign. However, to give you a taste of what you can expect, the team has already posted the first strip on its website.
The biggest challenge that Birdie Robot Golf faces is delays. Because the creative team behind the webcomic doesn't have the resources they need readily available, they often have to wait longer than normal to get aspects such as the story and illustrations up to a level that they are satisfied with. Furthermore, at present, they can't dedicate all of their time to the project because they have families that they need to support. The funds generated by the Kickstarter campaign would enable them to commit more of their time to the webcomic.
“Unfortunately, work of the quality we’re trying to produce doesn’t come free, which is why we need your support,” said the spokesperson. “In exchange for your contributions, we aim to provide you with hours of entertainment as well as access to a wide range of golf-related merchandise.”
If you wish to contribute to the campaign you have six reward levels to choose from all with different perks and swag. There are also several add-ons available for you to add to your rewards package.
