So you may have noticed that we don’t have any ads on our site, while most webcomics do. This is mostly due to the fact that we aren’t too popular (yet?) and we didn’t want to annoy the few fans we do have now. Eventually, we hope to include some kind of advertisements on the page – they’ll be of other webcomics, so hopefully it will be more useful than annoying to you readers! The point, though, is that we don’t have any money coming in from this comic right now. Mostly, we get along fine without it – server and domain costs aren’t too bad. But recently we came up with a need for some extra cash.
Courtney’s tablet is pretty old and, thankfully, still works pretty well. However, she’s been looking into getting a new one for quite some time. We both have jobs, but Courtney’s doesn’t pay too often, and so it will be a while before she has enough to buy a new tablet for herself. Here’s the thing: the new tablet will be used to make this comic, and her OLD tablet will go to me to help her color. (She already owes me money for our advertising campaign from a while back; I’m absolving most of the debt as payment for the old tablet.)
You may have also noticed that a lot of the comics recently have been late. That’s our own faults, really, because we end up having to leave them until the last minute because of our homework and such. But, if I could help by coloring (which I have, for a few of the recent comics), then we’d spend less time over all on new comics and there’s a better chance we’ll get them up on time. I can use a mouse to color, but it takes forever and only helps by allowing us to multitask.
SO. Look under the comic. See the new donation button? If you have the means and can spare a few dollars, PLEASE consider sending a bit our way to help pay for Courtney’s new tablet. The sooner we raise enough money to buy it, the sooner we can start working towards being on schedule with our updates again.
Keep in mind: the tablet will be purchased when Courtney has enough money regardless, but your donations can help speed it up. For what it’s worth, she needs approximately $100 more to pay for it in full.
HERE’S THE INTERESTING PART: you can donate as much money as you feel is fair, BUT if you donate $10 or more and are willing to provide a picture, Courtney will draw you into a future comic as a cameo! Plenty of webcomics do this as incentive, so why not us? I’d like to think we’re even doing it for less than they typically do. These cameos will appear very soon, since we’re approaching a perfect spot for them. Here’s how it will work: when you go to donate, use the provided form to give us your commenter username from the site. If you aren’t a commenter, you should be but want the cameo still, just give us a primary email account or something else to easily identify you by (and that we can use to prove who you are). We’ll iron out the details on a personal level once you’ve done that.
tl;dr please use the donate button above so Courtney can get a new tablet! Donate $10 or more for a cameo!
alright ill try to donate
That IS a tempting offer… Might have to get back to you on that…
Every little bit will help. In the meantime, I’m going into intensive no-spending mode, so you know your donation won’t go towards a burrito.
funny thing. when i sold candy bars for a college tour, i ate some of them….actually alot. the sucky thing is i thought i had more than 300 dollars for food and what not, and spent 2 of them, and had only 298 to spend.
(my fault)
lol what? You so random, person.
Also HAPPY BIRTHDAY you!
thanks my good friend.
Donated!
The card is under my mother’s name, since she trusts me enough to know that I wouldn’t give money out to just anyone. I still included my e-mail though, so you know where to find me!
My mother doesn’t allow me to use her credit card except for things she decides are worthy.
…Unfortunately, donating to random people on the internet is not one of those worthy things, otherwise I’d give you 15-20. If I could send people money through Steam, I would totally do it, because that’s one of the few things she trusts/agrees to.
Also, yeah, I know – having to use my mother’s credit card? Really? Sorry, I’m relatively young and don’t have one of my own.
I very likely would, if it weren’t or the fact that I’m currently looking for work (my money having more or less run out and thus travelling for now suspended) and that the money currently in my account is borrowed – I’m sorry. :/
For what it’s worth, I do hope that you do manage to raise the money soon. :/
*for the fact
Oh dear, that sounds rough! Best wishes, my friend. Don’t worry about it, we’re doing fine. I’ll get that tablet sooner or later. Take care of yourself!
Thank you – and don’t worry, I thankfully have been taken in for the moment by a relative of mine, so I’m not yet in danger of going without food or shelter. ^_^
Now, I’ve been letting myself fall back in my commentaries on your comic – off to rectify that! ^_^
Donate MOAR!
Donated, hope you can get a new tablet soon.
Thank you very much; it was a very pleasant surprise on Christmas Eve!
I actually got the tablet a little while back (we really need to update this blog…) but I had to pay for quite a bit of it myself, so any later-in-time donations still count for essentially the same purpose… and we’ll keep the money in the comic fund for future advertising. Victor forwarded me your character info, so I’ll work in a cameo as soon as I can
