I'm really interested to see how this will end up.
(It's a shame they don't have more options for rewards. Like books, shirts, etc. Or a CD/online download of the comic itself, I'm sure a lot of people would chip in for that.)
You would be wrong there. The Penny Arcade project reached $528,144 after a little over a month: http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/pennyarcade/penny-arcade-sells-out?ref=live
If that's the one you're referring to.
This is only the second day and the Homestuck kickstarter's gotten to 575k
They also had rewards of a game, but one most of their supporters had already bought, and most of their rewards were focused in the lower end.
But mostly, I think people didn't care about ads. They're easy to block if they annoy you, and Penny Arcades' ads tend to be pretty-looking. It's hard to compare.
