Captain Heroic: "Sure!"

Panel 3:

Captain Heroic: "How... how much longer do I have to hold this wink?"

Patreon bonus cartoons

So what’s started out as a lark has kinda become a Thing. I haven’t updated my Patreon video yet, but I wanted you guys to know about it first. See, I started doing these Patreon bonus cartoons as a way to help direct attention to my Patreon page… In case this is new to you, Patreon is a way you can help support my comics by donating as little as $1 per month. The first one was straight out of my sketchbook. It was an idea that jumped into my head and demanded to be set free. It wasn’t going to fit into Evil Inc, and I didn’t think it was appropriate for Tales From The Con. So decided to scan it and make it a public post in my Patreon feed. This is the result… Batpole300 That went over really well, so I did a few more. And they all got a big response. So I decided this would be the perfect way to reward the people who support me on Patreon! As of last week, those bonus cartoons have become Patreon-exclusive. That means that only my Patreon supporters can see the finished cartoons. And, again, many of them are supporting me with $1 per month. Of course, when a whole bunch of you pledge $1, the cumulative result is pretty significant for me. Plus, I have some pretty tempting rewards to entice you to support me at $5, $10, $20 or even $50 per month! To give you a glimpse of what you’ll get as a Patreon supporter, I’m posting all of the bonus cartoons below — even the ones that were exclusives last week. I’m pretty sure my Patreon backers won’t mind — especially if it brings a few more of you into the group. And, heck, there’s even a chat function under each entry, so you can comment, expound, eye-roll, shriek… whatever feels right, y’know? Consider backing me on Patreon. My goal is to do at least three of these bonus cartoons a week. Let me know what you think. Patreon-bonus Patreon-bonus Patreon-bonus Patreon-bonus Patreon-bonus Patreon-bonus
