My Patrons got EIGHT TOTALLY DIFFERENT VERSIONS OF YESTERDAY’S COMIC with totally different jokes!!! WHAT?!?!? I KNOW!!!
Dearest Sharksploders, please help me get my Patreon over the $2000 hump. Comics is my full time job, but it doesn’t currently pay full time money. I’ve been doing a lot of freelance work lately (which distracts me from making comics) to make ends meet, and I’ve agreed to attend more conventions this year than I really feel comfortable with (which REALLY distracts me from making comics) out of financial fear. Every little bit helps and is QUITE appreciated.
This is 100% true. There are certain words that I’ve struggled with spelling correctly my entire life, and with the advent of autocorrect and my advancing age I have fully decided to let Autocorrect Jesus take the wheel. I appreciate that my phone is willing and able to pick up the slack for my dwindling grey matter. I do wonder, though, if technology and humanity will even be so integrated that kids just aren’t taught… well, THINGS anymore. Like, would you get a call from your kid’s teacher saying, “Well, Johnny had a problem today. He was in the middle of the upgrade from 3rd Grade OS 6.08 to 3rd Grade OS 6.1 and he removed his USB cable. Now he’s in a coma and you’re going to have to come get him.” “WHY DIDN’T WE ENABLE SYNC OVER WIFI?! WHY?!?!” you’d scream to the heavens. “I HAVE FAILED MY SON! I NEVER EVEN READ THE END USER LICENSE AGREEMENTS FOR HIS SERVICE PACKS! I JUST CLICK AGREE!” You monster.

…Is that a thing? Time Scotch? Can it please be? Can I drink it with the Doctor? And perhaps the Barrowman? Joel, please, can you dispense wisdom in the form of lines artfully arranged?

Logically this must mean that a civilised society must have hat shops (milleners?).

I also feel that having libraries readily available is also a must.
If you think american chinese food is odd you should try some of the stuff you can get in mid Wales, the home of the chinese chip shop (that is a fish and chip (chunky fries for Americans) shop that also sells chinese food (bonus points if they sell “kebabs”)). I have seen people with absolutely no irony order “sweet and sour pork balls, a saveloy and half n’ half love with mushy peas” (that is battered pork balls (think 80% batter 20% pork) with sweet and sour sauce, a “pork” sausage (I have never been sure if you are supposed to eat the skin or not, I think it might be made of plastic) and half chips (again fries) and half rice (often oddly crunchy but with no clear reason why….) with peas that have been cooked so much they have sort of disolved a little (much better then it sounds trust me)).

I suppose good schools and decent neighbours and all that too, but honestly, having lived in both cities and rural areas, I can cope with outhouses and no running water if I can just have decent Internet and good (Americanized) Chinese and really good sushi.
