Having 1 million followers is like throwing confetti into a hurricane: people cheer, platforms profit, and you’re left sweeping your own glitter off the floor. Everyone loves the art, shares it, while we’re over here perfecting the art of checking our bank balance with one eye closed.

Three-panel meme using scenes from a movie. First panel shows a man saying "You have millions of followers. I think you're good." Second panel shows a blonde woman responding "Social media platforms don't pay their creators." Third panel shows the same man looking shocked/concerned in the rearview mirror of a car.

Platforms Stole Our Pay, AI Stole Our Art

Now AI companies are scraping our “worthless” art to train billion-dollar generators. Apparently our work was valuable enough to steal, just not valuable enough to pay for. It’s like being robbed by someone who insists they’re doing you a favor by “increasing your exposure.”

So here we are on Patreon, asking our actual fans to bridge the gap between “viral content” and “paying rent.” Because in this rigged game, the only reliable currency left is people who genuinely give a damn about creators surviving.

Comic strip by War and Peas about the nightmare of a ghost 1. Panel: A ghost wakes up from a bad dream and says to his ghost partner next to him: "Honey, I had a bad dream you died!" 2. Panel: The other ghost tries to comfort him and says: "Sweety, we're already dead." 3. Panel: "We were murdered by that crazy axe killer, remember?" 4. Panel: The first ghost says: "Oh right, what a relief." The moon shines in the room, it's very romantic.

Illustration of a decision-making meme showing a person at a fork in the road. One path, leading to a bright, castle-like structure with a cheerful atmosphere, is labeled 'Support Your Favorite Artist on Patreon.' The other path, dark and stormy with a gloomy castle in the distance, reads 'Continue Enjoying Their Content for Free.' The character, labeled 'You,' stands undecided at the crossroads, humorously representing the choice between financially supporting content creators and consuming their content without compensation.

We know you like the work, or you wouldn’t be here. Making comics that poke at the weird, messy questions – why we’re here, what’s real, how horny a worm with boobs can make us – that’s what we do. And it’s hard sometimes. Not the glamorous kind of hard, but the endless, detail-rich kind that demands time, focus, and the support of a community who believes in it.

Does It Matter?

By joining us on Patreon, you’re not just a supporter; you’re a fellow traveler on this messy, fascinating journey. Your support means we can keep diving deeper, creating absurd and funny stories that build spaces where laughter rules and not negativity and hate. Whether you choose the well-worn road of free content or the brighter path of patronage, we’re grateful you’re here, reading, considering, and maybe – just maybe – taking a step further with us.

After all, it’s not just about paying for content; it’s about saying, “Yes, I believe this matters.”
