Patreon: More Arch Bros!

Posted on July 28, 2014 by Brad Guigar
As I announced earlier, I’ve started posting exclusive content to my Patreon page. This has included pages from my sketchbook, some single-panel cartoons, and prototype strips of an Evil Inc spin-off that I’m calling Arch Bros. Arch Bros takes the concept of Oscar and Oliver — two brothers… one a superhero and the other a supervillain — and puts them into a “civilian” family. It’s really turning out nicely. For the time being, only my Patreon backers can see the Arch Bros strips — as well as the other bonus content I’m creating — for as little as $1 a month. If you think you might be interested, here’s one of the Arch Bros strips you missed — and one of the single-panel cartoons. Click on the images to see the whole thing. ArchBros_3calvin_urologistAs I wrote when I posted that second one, I’ve got this weird feeling that I’m subconsciously stealing it from somewhere, but I can’t find it anywhere. And I couldn’t get it out of my head until I drew it. So at the risk of unconscious plagiarism… I’m sharing it with you today.
