The week that was...
🕑 Added 2024-03-16 20:46:30 +0000 UTCThere are so many things going on that it’s hard to know where to start. First, there has been a lot of misinformation about Patreon tightening its rules on NSFW content. While it's true that they have updated their Terms of Service, those changes will not affect our community.
In somewhat happier news, I was on the early rollout for a desktop version of Patreon's chat function. Now... let's be clear: this is a function that nobody requested! In fact, I'd say the Discord server is a much more robust experience for the members of this group! Every danged day I open that tab on my computer and see posts that either make me laugh... or think... or, well, stare for a while...
BUT... in my long tradition of taking something nobody wants and trying to make something cool out of it, I'll be posting some stuff there and seeing where it goes. Feel free to jump in!
Get It Together, Pickles!
I feel like I've been talking nonstop about my own Kickstarter, so maybe I'll start with my friend's Kickstarter instead...
Dave Kellett is Kickstarting a new collection of comics, and it’s absolutely wonderful! He’s got a metric ton of great rewards, so be sure to check it out!
Table Titans Club
Speaking of friends, Scott Kurtz’ new book, “Table Titans Club,” was released last week, and stores are reporting sell-outs already. It’s available in bookstores, comic shops… and even Target stores nationwide. You can hear him talk about the process of creating this DnD-themed middle-school graphic novel on this week's episode of ComicLab.
♫ ♫ Ooh-ooooh We're halfway there! ♫♫
And, if you made it this far down, my own Kickstarter is at the halfway point! If you haven’t jumped in yet, time is starting to run out! This is an opportunity to get some great rewards — including a rare opportunity to get an inked commission. The last time I offered those was 2019.
Lady Valiant
Here on my Patreon, I released a special 24-page eComic from my friends over at Lady Valiant, an incredible comic that I'm constantly in awe of. I've been hearing rave reviews ever since this one dropped!
’Ringo Awards
And finally, the nominations for the Ringo Awards were just announced, and I’d be thrilled if you would take a moment to nominate Evil Inc for Best Humor Webcomic.

Thank you! 😀

Voted! And yeah, Texas got hit by a pretty big NSFW ban.

Super frustrating!

Seeing the stuff about Gumroad, and people roping in a possible misreading of Patreon’s terms of service, compounded with various nsfw websites blocking certain states from accessing them, it just seemed like a massive confluence of events affecting nsfw creators. I don’t want to be all “the sky is falling!”, I just saw all this as more actions targeting the wrong people; especially given what various groups are trying to enact countrywide. Frustrating times.
