We know constant plugs are annoying but please try taking a different perspective here: Although literally millions of people read our comics weekly, it’s still difficult for us as creators to make a living. We don’t get any money directly from Instagram or any other platform we post on.

If we wouldn’t have a Patreon page, we’d have to flip burgers and couldn’t make comics at all.

So if you read this or the plug of any other artist, please be kind. Thank you!

In the background, a castle sits enthroned on a hill. The cartoon illustrates the excessive water consumption required for AI model queries.
