The Supply Goal
$250 per month
Now I'm at the stage where I don't have to sweat the rest of the art supplies: pencils, pens, brushes, inks, erasers, etc.  I'm very old-fashioned -- I use manual tools long before the strip is scanned into the computer.
The Bus Goal
$500 per month
At this point, I stop worrying about bus fare for the day job(s). (I don't drive.) This may not mean much to you, but it means a lot to me. Thank you.
The Point Of Ease
$1,000 per month
The minute we reach this goal, my time begins to loosen a bit and I start worrying a whole lot less.  I may even have enough time to do a full-color drawing once a month, apart from the regular strips.
Twice Weekly!
$2,500 per month
Yes!  If we reach this point, I'll increase my production to getting out two pages apiece for both Champion and Felicia -- and boost Mr Cow to three days a week!
The Zenith Peak
$5,000 per month
Reaching this goal is nothing less than a miracle, and I will thank you all profusely.  This will mean a computer upgrade, maybe even to a Cintiq, and I will labor to make Mr Cow a daily strip, and push the story strips up to at least three days a week!

About

I'm a writer and cartoonist who's long been involved in the furry side of fandom, though I have wider interests throughout sci-fi, fantasy and comics in general.  I was an editor and creator for an indie/furry publisher during the 90's and currently do three webcomics each week (two weekly and one twice a week).

I've been drawing comics for a long time now, and my current offerings, like Felicia, Sorceress Of Katara and Mr Cow are being done as weekly webcomics which I intend to collect in book form as they reach either their end or an appropriate number of pages to make a collection.  But it takes time to produce and it's difficult to find that time when you have to attend to the day job.  I have to keep pausing my strips from time to time until I can draw enough of a backload to allow the strips to run uninterrupted for a good, long spell.  Frankly, I'd like to be able to spend my day drawing and writing, and that's what I'm hoping you can all help me to accomplish: support my work with a dollar or two each month to help keep the stories and art flowing.

I'm running three strips currently, the two aforementioned and a third, The Champion Of Katara: two humor/adventure series and a gag strip.  I've been running them for free for a few years now, and I'm ready to take them all further -- with your help.

You're a generous soul, so not only will you be remembered as a sponsor and get a free Felicia comic the next time an issue is printed, but I'll also send you a Felicia cloisonne pin.  (Note: I have quite a few of these, but there is, obviously, a finite number, so when they're gone, they're gone.  When that happens I'll announce it and either remove or replace this reward.)

Pledge $100.00 or more per month

You're really generous, so you deserve a little extra.  Not only do you get notice of your sponsorship on a list, a free comic (when published) and a cloisonne pin (while they last), but you also get a free copy of The Vixen Sorceress -- a collection of Felicia prose stories in a single 290 page soft-covered book.  (Yes, I write too.)  It includes "The Tailcutter's Curse", which won the 2004 Ursa Major Award for Best Short Story.  It's got pictures, too.

Pledge $125.00 or more per month

This is the Adult Level -- you get everything that the $100 level gets (the pin, the comic, the book, the sponsorship mention), plus access to any Adult material I post here.  And there shall be some from time to time; some pin-ups, some comics.  If you're not here, you'll miss them.

You are generous beyond belief, so you get the whole shebang: the sponsorship recognition, a free comic, a cloisonne pin, a copy of The Vixen Sorceress... and... if you want it (you could always decline, but you came this far so I don't know why you would), an original pen and ink drawing of Felicia (or any other of my characters that you may prefer) done especially for you.  Because you deserve it.
