Just give yourself a longer-than-usual runway. I'm not saying I don't understand how fatigue plays a role (I can barely function right now) and how it'll prevent some great creators from being able to participate, but a long runway might encourage people to participate.

I was very disappointed when this didn't make goal first time around. I'm not sure of the approach they're taking with PWYC, but I will say this: This project deserves your full support, and while you can get it for super cheap, I strongly encourage you to pay what it's worth.

@illaurastrates.bsky.social and I have been collaborating on character designs for a queer, Southern Gothic horror comic I have in the works. They can't do Interiors for it, unfortunately, but these designs are killer! I couldn't wait to share them.

Person one: Taught my kids how socialism works. Let them trick or treat while I stayed home. Then took all their candy. Socialism 101.

Person two : The socialism part is where the community came together and fed your kids for free. The capitalism part is where you made them do all the work and stole from them.

It's Banned Books Week. There's not much that pisses me off more than censorship. So, all week I'll be sharing a selection of graphic novels that have been on the banned list. Find them, read them, support the creators, and better yet ask your local library about them.
