Hey Everyone,

When NASA sends out the next capsule of human artifacts, we sincerely hope they will put in a comic from War and Peas. We do think the aliens will get a laugh out of it. After all, comics are universal. At least those, without text.

Welcome to all of you who are newly joined on our patron. Here we, Jonathan and Elizabeth, release early comics, give out discount codes for our shop, and provide patreon-exclusive artworks in hi-res for you to download onto your devices. No one else has these.

Thanks for supporting the comic arts! As always, if there’s something you’d be interested for us to offer here, we’re always keen to hear your ideas via comments or messages.

Hey!

Did you know that there are actually two people behind War and Peas? Jonathan and Elizabeth here and we want to talk about something very important to us.

While reading a comic strip only takes several seconds, it takes quite a long time to create it. We’re constantly thinking of new ideas, sketchbooks always with us, waking up in the middle of the night, furiously scribbling down our genius, only to find out the next morning it was a fart joke. After one of us has an idea, we discuss it and work on it for several interim stages before drawing it out. Our process can take several hours or days as we hone in, trying to get the joke just right (Yes, we’re pretty neurotic).

War and Peas In Therapy - By Elizabeth Pich and Jonathan Kunz

Speaking of time: We’ve been making War and Peas for over a decade now. In this era, we’ve created dozens of characters and hundreds of strips. There’s the powerful Slutty Witch unabashedly warding off howling wolves. A robot desperately in love with its creator. And the much-loved couple Bob & Bob, who have witnessed the sinking of the Titanic and seem to have lived forever (Tell us your secret).

We’ve published a book that has been released in four different languages and our comics are being translated on the good ol’ web into more than seven languages and we know it looks like quite a business. But here’s the thing: we don’t make a lot of money with publishing books or creating free content on social media. That’s why we are extremely thankful for the 425 people that support us on Patreon but that’s only 0.03 % of our followers. Imagine if that group of supporters would grow from 0.03 % to 0.1 %? Or even 1 %.

In this case, we could start projects that we always wanted to do but didn’t have the money or time. We’d be financially secured and this frees up time create more free content to make the world laugh.

If you think that this would be great, please consider supporting us. Patreon is a great possibility over the long haul and we publish early comics and insight to our process there weekly. On the other hand, a long-term subscription might not be for you. In this case, you can support us via a one-time donation. Thank you so much, cheers!
