Hey everyone!

Thanks for checking out the Wootlabs Patreon! I'm the creator of Wootlabs, Joe, or according to all my online handles, DiceKnight. I'd like to take a minute to explain how Patreon works, and what you can expect if you're interested in supporting the webcomic through it. So let's get started, shall we?

What is Patreon?

Simply put, Patreon is a way for people to show their support for creators of online content. YouTube celebs, musicians, artists, those kind of folks. It works in opposite fashion to a Kickstarter, though. Where a Kickstarter has people put up money for a product before its been released, Patreon is a way of supporting an ongoing, existing project. A good way to look at it is like you're giving a tip to someone for producing something that makes you smile.

What's a Woot...labs?

If you're not familiar with it, Wootlabs is a free webcomic that updates every Monday. It's a lot of things, really. Humor, action, sci-fi, superheroes, a bit of drama...the basic story involves the exploits of a supervillain named Square Woot, who turns into a hero when she realizes there's more to life than being a bad guy. It's a family friendly comic without profanity or anything beyond Saturday morning cartoon violence, and has a lot of positive themes. Some recurring themes within the comic include showing the negative repercussions of bullying and the importance of family. It also depicts a positive, non-stereotypical portrayal of a GLBT couple, and female protagonists that are different than the usual role women play in superhero comics. It's a great comic for young people, people that enjoy a bit of humor with their superhero tales, and people that feel like women and GLBT individuals have been poorly represented by the industry in the past.

How does it work?

Wootlabs is set up to accept monthly donations, rather than a per-comic donation system. If you'd like to give, all you have to do is choose a pledge amount. Patreon will bill you at the end of the month, and you can cancel any time before you're charged. (So there's never any commitment to give more months than you're comfortable with.) 

Do I get anything extra?

You do indeed! I've set up a few reward tiers for people that would like to donate. Check out more details below! Furthermore, there are things called Milestones. These track how much money is coming in to the webcomic on a monthly basis. For months where a milestone hits, the month after will be filled with bonus comics for everyone!

Anything else?

I just want to say thanks to anyone that even considers giving to the comic. Wootlabs has been a labor of love for a very long time, and making something akin to a living off of it is a bit of a dream of mine. For everyone that becomes a part of it, I can't tell you how grateful I truly am. All I can do is promise to keep improving, and further attempt to make Wootlabs the best comic it can be.
