Sara Goetter

Hey there! My name is Sara Goetter, I’m a cartoonist from Pennsylvania, currently residing in Austin, Texas. I make comics!

Projects I’ve done in the past included: Boozle, an all-ages fantasy webcomic about a wizard and a cyclops on a quest to collect MacGuffins, Behind the Scenes, a slice of life comic about high school stage crew, autobio comics, including Grief is Weird, a collection of comics about the sudden death of my mother, That It Felt Like This, a collection of comics about being a gay disaster, short stories and some printed work! I'm also one half of Hell Yell Comics, which are comics I do in collaboration with Natalie Riess, including Dungeon Critters and KK Summer Jams Mix. I'm spread out all over the place honestly, haha.



When I started this Patreon (like 5 years ago at this point holy cow) I was still living at home and my main goal was to help pay for student loans with dreams of maybe being able to quit my retail job. Years later, I’m halfway across country, but I still need help with student loans and I dream of being able to quit my retail job, haha. But in that time, the support I’ve gotten from Patreon has been so appreciated, especially as I was dealing with a lot in my personal life and my art output wasn’t so great. Now that I feel like I’m finally in a more stable place in my life I’d like to finally update my Patreon and my rewards to reflect that.

I completed the first volume of Boozle in the beginning of 2017 and since then I’ve been scattered across a number of different projects. Most notably: I've been working on a graphic novel with Natalie Riess, coming out from First Second in 2020: Dungeon Critters. You can read the announcement (and first look at some pages) here.



There's other projects here and there but this has been the main thing I've been working on. This patreon is mostly WIPs of my book along with other musings/hobbies I pick up.

So let’s talk rewards!



$1: SMEWSletter! Like, Smo's Newsletter...
$1 gets you access to my monthly newsletter where I post WIPs, comics and more. At $1 you also gain access to the behind the scenes backlog, with complete PDFs, how-tos, and tutorials and more.



$2: Discord Access
At $2 you’ll get a link to my own personal Discord server, where I will actively be posting WIPs, warmups, and more. Also good for just general chatting! Updates will be fairly frequent.



$30: Monthly Commissions! 1 Character, Bust, Sketch
Every month after the payment goes through you will be given a form to fill out for a sketched waist-up commission of whatever you want, emailed right to you! Commissions are for personal use only, I will not do NSFW and I reserve the right to refuse requests. Patrons will be responsible for filling out the forms, I will not send reminders. Patrons also cannot skip months to cash in multiple commissions at once. Also includes access to the Patreon Discord and Backer Blog.

And that's it! Again, whether you've stuck it out with me for years or you're a new supporter, I sincerely can't thank you enough!
