Yes, this is another Patreon plug, yawn.
But consider this: if we had a dollar for every time someone told us our comic made them laugh, our livelihood would be ensured and we wouldn't need a Patreon.
Panel 1: One robot hands a piece of paper to another robot and says, "I wrote a poem for you." Panel 2: The receiving robot responds, "Thanks." Panel 3: The poem is revealed to be a sheet of binary code. The robot that wrote the poem points to the paper, which reads: 01100100 01101101 01100001 01110011 01110011 01101001 00100000 01100011 01101111 01100100 01100101 Panel 4: The receiving robot, now holding the binary code poem, says, "This is beautiful."
Think of our Patreon like a secret backstage door.
Out here, you get comics. In there, you enter our weird sanctum: comic battles where you can vote, the jokes that were too unhinged to post publicly, and the satisfaction of knowing you prevented 2 artists from having a real job.
Panel 1: A person lies in a hospital bed, speaking to a woman standing beside them. The person says, "...and then Death flashed before my eyes." The woman looks concerned. Panel 2: In a flashback, Death, depicted as a cloaked figure, dramatically opens its cloak in front of the person. The person looks shocked. Panel 3: The person says "This is creepy." Death, now sweating, stands silently as the person looks at the open cloak with a neutral expression. Panel 4: The person is back in the hospital bed, speaking to the woman. The woman says, "You are so brave." She looks touched and slightly teary-eyed.
Hell yeah buddy
You also get secret comics, downloads, and all the lower-tier goodies β but honestly, the tree documentation is the thing.
It's medicine. The tree is the cure. You're the doctor.

Our Patreon's Tree Huggerβ’οΈ level exists to fix this. You can directly fund our prescription: one tree hug per month, per artist, documented and delivered to you as photographic proof. Real bark. Real arms. Real awkward human-tree contact, captured for your peace of mind.

There is a condition affecting cartoonists at truly alarming rates that the medical establishment has chosen to ignore. It's called Tree-Deficiency.
An angel stands at a gated entrance on a cloud, speaking to a man standing in front. The angel says, "I'm sorry, but you hit snooze too much." The man looks disappointed.
You snooze, you lose (forever)
We make these comics full-time, and Patreon is what makes that possible. Even a small pledge helps more than you'd think. And you'll get some pretty cool stuff in return.

We'll keep it short: Most of our readers don't know we have a Patreon.
Not because we're bad at marketing (well partly because of that), but because algorithms bury these posts. So if this is the first time you're hearing about it: hi!
Panel 1: The Thirsty Scientist sits across from an HR representative at a table in an office. The HR representative says, "We feel your research team has gotten a bit distracted." Panel 2: The HR representative, looking stern, says, "There have been some complaints about 'inappropriate spending' of grant money." Panel 3: The Thirsty Scientist, now looking shocked, responds, "I'm shocked. I can assure you, all funds go into cutting-edge research." Panel 4: A jump cut to a lab setting, where the Thirsty Scientist stands next to a large, muscular alien statue. She says, "All right, which one of you scumbags ratted me out?" Two lab technicians in the background look nervous.
We post our comics for free but also have to make a living. That's where Patreon helps: Supporters get early comics, BTS content, and the satisfaction of knowing they're keeping us just functional enough to continue drawing instead of getting real jobs.

After over a decade of making webcomics, weβve learned a thing or two.
One: people love to read funny stuff for free on the internet.
Two: You have to peddle your wares sometimes, even if it feels weird.

Fun fact: the time it takes us to create one comic is roughly the same as a transatlantic flight. Except there are no free drinks, no movies and the turbulence is emotional.
If you've ever wished you could buy us that airplane tomato juice: Patreon is basically that, but better.
