If this Patreon winds up delivering more than I'd hoped - thousands of dollars, instead of hundreds - I will spend that money on computer equipment and software to animate some of my best stories. Animated Karno cartoons! Yes!

About

I'm Kjartan "Karno" Arnorsson, the tallest cartoonist that ever escaped from Iceland. I love to sit around and draw comics. And well, that's pretty much me.

I've been so busy making comics, that I've never found the spare time to set up a Patreon page to help out with the financial side of my comics-drawing habit. But as I was preparing my Mink story for becoming a webcomic, an obvious idea occurred to me: Why not kill two birds with one stone, and set it up as a Patreon page? What have I got to lose?
And since a lot of economists seem to be predicting the demise of the U.S. dollar with a certain ghoulish glee ("Money-printing your way out of debt never works - it just makes the crash worse when it happens"), I'd better try to amass some $ while I can still trade them for real goods.
Plan is to run Mink pages Monday, Wednesday and Friday - then assorted brand new stuff every Sunday. Us artist types are notoriously dissolute and undisciplined, so feel free to hold my feet to the fire. And since I respond best to flattery, don't be shy with the comments, kind patrons. Here we go!

This is the tier I expect most people to pledge at - a dollar a page won't hurt anyone. Although if that gets to be too much - I intend to post a lot of pages - I might switch to a "per month" format. Actually, you can cap your pledge at only so much per month, even if I post a lot more pages than that. I'm thinking of more rewards to send my fans, here - minicomics every month, maybe? If the pledge covers the printing and postage, why not? Yep! That's what I'll do, at least to start.

I'm gonna try mailing a minicomic once a month to every patron who pledges over three dollars a month. If we say the book costs $1.50 to print, and about the same for shipping, $3 will cover it. I already got enough comix assembled to last me about a year and a half - and in that 18 months, I'll be publishing more!
Getting a physical comic in the mail will be a nice reminder and thank-you to partons for their generosity. I love getting stuff in the snailmail, myself. Which reminds me, if you're contributing over $3 monthly, and you DON'T want a monthly Karno-comic, please let me know, so I won't be bombarding your mailbox with unwanted stuff, OK?

Pledge $200.00 or more per Comics pages.

OK, every time your pledges mount up to over $200 (And that's NOT per page, I mean $200 TOTAL (I dunno how to get Patreon to stop saying Per Page). Anyway, at $1 per page = $16 a month, you'd pledge $200 a year, roughly), you can ask me for a personal BW commission. You don't have to - and there are some things I won't draw, fair warning - but if you ask, and you've put over two Benjamins in my bank, I will do you a doodle!

Pledge $1,000.00 or more per Comics pages.

If you've put a grand in my bank (total, NOT per page!), then you can ask to be included in one of my comics. Your appearance will be canon - you'll be a for-real, published cartoon character! If funny-animals aren't your thing, you can be caricatured in Arizona Funnies or even Captain Iceland.
