January 15, 2023

Ok, I've had this comic finished for several weeks, but am only just now posting. I currently have the next one finished as well. My plan for 2023 is to commit to 2 comics a month. I will post new comics on every other Saturday, and work on them every Friday. That should give me a buffer in case for some reason I am not able to complete a comic on Friday. I know that I've already messed up and posted a day later than I planned, but I ended up getting sich, and didn't realize yesterday that I was. Most of this page had been finished, so it's not taking to much effort to finish it now, and I will try to work harder on keeping to my planned schedule.

So about this comic, it's been a long time since we've seen Nyarlathotep in the comic. I had to go searching through old strips to remember how to draw him. So he used to belong to someone else? I wonder how he became Lilah's familiar when he was first Sally's? I think this may be a fun arc to explore, though we know it ends in tragedy considering we know Sally takes her own life in the present timeline. I am hoping that when we return to the present, the storyline will help me learn to process grief. I lost quite a few people in 2022.

Both my domain name and my hosting are up for renewal at the end of the year, and the hosting will be quite pricey. I have a plan in place to save up enough money over the year that *should* be enough to pay for it, but if you do want to help me, there are several ways you can. First, I do still have some designs up in my store on Cafepress. Just click the Store on the top menu of this page and it will take you there. I have a number of pretty cool designs up there that you can get on T-shirts and other things. Secondly, I am on Patreon, a site for artists to get donations from their fans to help support their work, generally in exchange for incentives. I offer several incentives on my page.

For $5/month, I will hand draw a holiday card for you for every holiday you choose. They can be personalized to you or for whomever you would like, or left blank for you to personalize yourself for anyone you choose to gift it to.

For $15/month, I will immortalize you in my comic. I will create an illustration of you and include you as a character in my comic. In addition I will send you a full color drawing of your comic character.

For $25/month, I will send you one of the original copies of one of my comics. You can choose which comic you would like out of any still in inventory. Currently, you can choose any comic you'd like, as I still have a full inventory.

And finally, for $50 a month, I will begin a new webcomic, adult and BDSM themed, that will be exclusively for fans who support me on Patreon. I will create 1 comic a month for each $50 pledge (up to one for every day of the month), and you will receieve the original copy of the comic you paid for (only for the first 28-31 supporters). If money is tight, I also have a $1 pledge on my Patreon page that doesn't offer any perks, except for an eventual complete collection of my comics on site, email notification whenever I post a new comic (if I remember to announce it on my Patreon), and maybe some other things I might post on my Patreon page for patrons only. I am planning on doing an overhaul on my Patreon tiers at some point soon, and I will let you know here when I do.

If you just don't have the money to help support my work, you can help in other ways. I don't have much money for advertising, so I rely on word of mouth to gain more readers. Share my comics on Facebook, Twitter, and other social networking sites. Vote for my comic on topwebcomics.com (I know the picture for the link to that is busted. I've tried to figure out why, and have gotten no response from Top Web Comics on how to fix it, but the link still works.) Tell your friends about me and give them my web page information. The more readers I have, the more support I can likely receive. Thank you so much in advance! I love all my readers.

Please vote for me on topwebcomics.com. If you love this comic as much as I do, please take the time and help support my comic by helping more people find it. It's quick and easy to vote, and you can do it once every 24 hours. After playing around with the voting myself, I've discovered that you can only vote once per location, not device.
