Telling stories while they're still worth the telling.

After achieving this goal, I'll be able to buy a new mouse and scanner for my laptop. Now I can produce even faster, since I'm not fingerpainting all my lineart. And faster production means more cool stuff for you to enjoy!

Historically, my work's been a back alley operation, achieved by hoarding lead for mechanical pencils and diving into library wastebins for scrap paper -- but with your help, I can start creating like a real man! I'll be able to afford the right pens and paper to produce even better art!

The best stories are about Hard Work, Friends, and Dreams. Thing is, writing comics is Hard Work, my best Friend is Writer's Block, and most of my stories are still only Dreams that escape me. I hear on the winds that certain kinds of alcoholic beverage are of the advantageous variety when it comes to dispensing with the Block. By reaching this goal, I will be able to occasionally purchase these beverages to relieve myself of the burden of Writer's Block.

The work I love to do is free. The world I live in isn't. With your help, I'll be able to start polishing off some of the rent I have to pay. That means there's a little less for me to worry about and that means more time for creating!

It's no fun being a starving artist. If we reach this goal, I can start using the funds to help with the groceries -- dispensing with Yet Another Obligation that's keeping me from producing art.

With this, I'll be able to occasionally Actually Buy a Video Game, a privilege I've not had since 2010. It'll be quite something to be able to actually play the games I create comics for.

I can buy a high-quality tablet, and start producing art entirely digitally! Cutting out the middle man!

The strips will become an Honest-to-God part-time job! The main comic will receive two strips a week on Mondays and Thursdays.

I will start producing paperback collections of the strip. I will see if I can sell these for charity, or, if there's a copyright issue I can't deal with, distribution will be entirely free.

So much support! In addition to the two strips a week, the main comic will get a Full-Color Bonus Sunday Strip!

The strip will be a full-time job! (Just Over Minimum Wage)! There will be three strips a week on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays, plus a Full Color Bonus strip every Sunday! I will also start producing free calendars of the current comic.
