Comics on the double!
I'll finally have time to go back up to two comics a week!
Music on the bi-monthly!
I can start producing music on the regular again. Once we hit this goal, I'll be able to publish one new song every two months.
Monthly collaboration!
One of the regular comic updates every month will be a collaboration with another artist!
Plague of buttons 2: the plaguening!
SO. MANY. BUTTONS. Every $5+ patron who is backing me at the time we hit this goal will be mailed a new super-swankily designed collector's button exclusive to Patreon.
Weekly comics trifecta!
The posting schedule will increase to 3 comics a week. Woohoo!
Music on the monthly
A new song every month, and patrons will be first to hear the demos, rough cuts and final masters.
About
Peter Chiykowski is an award-winning cartoonist, musician, writer and editor. He’s mostly known for Rock, Paper, Cynic, his webcomic about celebrating the things that make the world an interesting place. His work won him the Aurora Award for Best Graphic Novel in 2014, and now The HMS Bad Idea, Peter's first book of comics, is available in places that will take your money and give you stupid cartoons instead. The book debuted at the #1 new graphic novel anthology on the Amazon international bestseller list. Huzzah!
When he's not making comics, Peter is usually writing new songs about grown-up things like having a crush on the National Security Agency or taking Netflix as a monogamous lover. His first album of music, Borken Telephone, is slated to hit Kickstarter in July 2015.
Peter's weird short stories and poems have somehow sneaked their way into legitimate publications like Asimov’s Science Fiction, The New Quarterly and Best Canadian Poetry. His questionably fictitious non-fiction book Half-Cat: A Partial History was a staff-choiced Kickstarter phenomenon. Peter's half-cat research has been reproduced in what is technically a TEDx talk but functionally a dumb joke and a presentation at Kickstarter headquarters in New York.
By day Peter writes and edits for international charity Free The Children, producing educational resources for thousands of schools and youth groups. He's written charity-focused content for newspapers like the Seattle Times, San Francisco Herald, Vancouver Sun and Ottawa Citizen.
By night Peter wears too many hats, spends time with his fiancee and wrangles two unruly basset hounds.

I think art should be free and weird and awesome.
This something I've believed since I was a seven-year-old kid making weird comics about sharks and turtles and underwater adventures. I like the idea that anyone can go online and read or watch or listen to something that lets them see the world in a new way.
So that's how I designed Rock, Paper, Cynic, my webcomic and music project. No paywalls. No subscriptions. No ads. Just weird, funny, interesting comics and songs as quickly as I can make them.
There's a problem thought! I work full-time to support the work I do with my website, and I often take on extra work to make sends meet instead of working on new comics. So here's the deal:
Patreon lets people pledge a small monthly amount of money to support my work.
The money I get through Patreon gives me more choice over the freelance jobs I take and lets me focus on what I do best: make new comics, songs and other shenanigans for you fine folks. Plus, I've thought up some awesome ways to show my appreciation!
