Many crowdfunded garbage does that. They'll promise low shipping and once the item is finished, they'll make up some excuse about shipping costs being higher now and charge you a lot more. There's nothing you can do. Either you lose your pledge and have no product, or you suck it up and pay the shipping.
I wonder how much this fat paedophile will charge. $25? We will see.
That's if his book even comes out.
You see, after manufacturing and shipping costs, Eric July probably only makes 50-75% profit
Vito, who never made anything, is 100% profit.
(In all seriousness, didn't vito waste all the money he got?)
He has at separate times claimed the money is gone, that it's still sitting in has bank account collecting interest, and that he has invested it into the stock market to make even more money.
So my hatred of this pedophile has reached its limits and has motivated me to pull back the curtain a bit. Firstly, I'm going to tell you all that the money is definitely gone. Without power leveling too much, I will say I've done projects in the publishing field in the past and understand how it works.
It should never take this long.
At all.
Ever.
Let's first establish what this project requires in order to make a comic:
1) Writing
2) "Penciling"
3) "Inking"
4) "Coloring"
5) "Lettering"
In the days of modern graphic design all of this works out to a couple of people, some PC's and WACOM's on Microsoft Word and Adobe products. Being that the writing was supposedly completed before the pedo started the campaign, it should have been off to the artists. the moment the project was funded. As pages are completed, they are handed off to each subsequent artist until the final pages are sent to the pedophile for approval.
Something To Keep In Mind
Pages are done individually. This means once a person finishes a page, they can hand it off and begin working on the next. Once Artist A finishes Page 1, Artist B can immediately start work on Page 1 and Artist A can move onto Page 2. This means that by the time Artist A finishes their work, the rest of the artists shouldn't be far behind. In the case of Vedo the Pedo, we actually already know Artist A - Keder Lebeau.
We even know when Keder completed their work:
In an Instagram post dated July 28th, 2025, Lebeau states they completed their work over a year ago which would put it in late Spring 2024. Approximately 4 - 6 months AFTER the delivery date stated by the pedophile.
Moving on from this, we move on to an update post of Vedo's dated July 31, 2024:
You will see this upholds the process as I have explained so far. The pages were working their way through production and were nearly complete. A YEAR AGO. As much as I hate to offer even the smallest amount of understanding to a fat, stupid, unfunny pedophile: If he had been able to get the comic out last summer and said "hey, this is my first comic and I'd a stupid, fat, pedo but I wanted to put effort into something for the first time in my life, thanks for waiting" and shipped it by the fall, I doubt people would have judged him too harshly.
Here is where the Pedo's story starts falling apart.
Somehow it took over a year for what he initially promised should only take a few weeks. You know, because the process up until then displayed a very different and efficient timeline.
To give everyone a decent idea of the coloring process, I'll link you to a video teaching the process:
By no means do I aim to diminish the hard work of someone dedicated to their craft, but as you can see, a two-page spread should take 1 - 2 days of passionate work. Lettering is literally just adding the word balloons and the words. Take all this as you will but anyone with a brain can understand that if lettering was done more than a year ago and a month or two later they were more than 50% done the coloring, etc. something isn't adding up here.
Some Things To Note
It wasn't until a post in December 2024 (a full year after the promised delivery date) that the pedophile mentions that he is now looking into a stateside printer instead of overseas. This is an amazingly retarded statement for numerous reasons but the most glaring one is that no one prints overseas. In general, there are two main options:
Comic Printing Options:
Traditional Printing - Old school printing which tends to be cheaper in very high volumes. We are talking 10k copies of the same issue or more.
Digital Printing - New printing format that dramatically lowers the price for shorter run or one off projects. This is how Eric July is so successful. There are NUMEROUS digital printing businesses all over the US. Ingram has locations throughout the country and even offers a complete suite of fulfillment services for short run projects if necessary. For the pedophile's project which is a one time project, it would be cheapest for him just to ship them all out of his garage with a friend or two over a week's time.
Perhaps you are thinking to yourself that Vedo the Pedo is just colossally retarded and wanted to use one of the printers that the BIG BOYS use like Marvel / DC / etc. Well, I've got news for you:
All the major comic companies print in the US or Canada. Not overseas.
Moving on from all this. We learn the pedophile has settled on a digital printer called MIXAM as of his post April 9th when he stated that everything was finally done. Two months later, Vedo the Pedo states that [SHOCK] there's another delay.
There are a few very perplexing things about this:
1) All standard size comics have the same dimensions.
2) All standard printers of standard comics would have the same minimal bleeds.
3) ANY COMPETENT COMIC BOOK ARTIST'S WOULD ALREADY KNOW THESE DIMENSIONS
These bleed issues shouldn't have been a thing to begin with. When the original pages were being laid out in something like Adobe InDesign, the bleeds would have automatically been built into all of this. Any press work, digital or traditional, uses bleeds. For hundreds of years. It's like using the phrase <head> when talking to a web designer. What I am trying to convey to you is that the pedophile is trying to tell you he just realized his car uses gas instead of diesel as he's about to drive it off the lot.
Printing
Let's start with something I brought up earlier:
In the campaign, Vedo the Pedo states that once the books are ready to ship, he will need to collect shipping costs from all the backers. Being that none of the backers have paid shipping costs, we can surmise that the books have not been printed yet. Why I feel more confident in this than the average person is because of my awareness of one of the most common publishers tricks:
The shipping and handling build in the cost of the printing and shipping of the book.
To illustrate:
This is a quote from KA-BLAM digital comic book printers located in the US. Why am I using a quote from KA-BLAM? Because the pedophile actually uses their bleed template in his post. KA-BLAM is also an industry standard for short-run projects and offers competitive prices. Below is a quote for a book using page count and the description the pedophile gave.
That's right, everyone. Per book cost is $4.28 Let's just say Christopher the Child Toucher decides to get fancy and do the Cardstock Cover instead of the standard. It raises it only a little bit:
Moving onward, let's be generous and assume Vedo the Pedo wants to make sure his comic is shipped safely and actually cares about the customer. We can see U-Line (industry standard for shipping products) offering foldable mailers for around $1.00 apiece or less:
Now let's look into shipping:
Taken from the USPS website, you can see that Media Mail (which includes tracking) would cost $4.47 to ship the book to customers anywhere in the US. From Vedo the Pedo's address in California to 14 Branchland Ct in Ruckersville, VA, it takes about 4 days to be delivered.
So let's do some math:
$4.28 + $4.47 + $1.00 = $9.75
What was the shipping cost in the US again?
Oh right, $10.00
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Based upon this, I am confident that not only has Vito not anywhere near ready to ship his book, he likely hasn't even sent it to press yet. On average, digital printers take 1 - 2 weeks to print a few thousand copies and should not be any form of bottleneck. This factors in the printing queue and assumes the Pedo has to wait for other projects the printer has ahead of him. I'll even be generous and give it a month.
------------------------------------------------------------------
CONCLUSION
All the money is gone, it's been gone, otherwise the books would have already been printed and he would be asking for shipping fees from all his backers and he wouldn't be trying to appease people with black and white digital issues.
At this point we are left with only 2 possible understandings of Dax Herrera's favorite pedophile:
1) Vedo the Pedo
knows absolutely nothing about the comics industry and how comics are made while having spent
TWO YEARS shitting on a man who literally built an entire comic publishing business successfully which makes him the most ignorant and invalid pedophile in history.
OR
2) The fat fucker has been lying and spent all the cash on children's toys and drugs.
