sholio: webcomic word balloon (Kismet-Frank threat)

Hey Patreon backers!

Patreon people, if you haven't already, stop by my activity feed - there is a question for you there! I'm working on that outdoor-market crowd scene, the one I was brainstorming background-character ideas for a little while back, and [livejournal.com profile] allanh had the AMAZING idea of sneakily working Patreon backers' names into the business names. And so I shall. :D So you need to tell me if you have a preference - if you'd rather have your name on a flower shop or a gun store, for example! (Or if you'd rather be included as, say, a busker in the background, or a guy riding a unicycle - I can do that too.)

If you read Kismet and the idea of being immortalized in the comic sounds like fun, but you aren't a Patreon backer ... well, there is an easy fix for that! It's $1/month minimum, and you can cancel at any time. I'm doing this for all the backers, not the ones at certain levels, though you do get extra stuff at the higher levels.

... Speaking of which, the May rewards package for the $5+ backers has been uploaded. This month is all from the sketchbook: character designs and so forth. I've also gone back and made the first couple of rewards packages for last year free to everybody, so you can see what kind of stuff I put in these - here are October and November of last year. I'm not going to be doing this every time, but I figured free samples are nice, so you can see what you're getting, right?

Obligatory mention that the comic is free, will always be free, and I don't care at all if people read it without paying - please do! :) The Patreon is just if you want extra stuff and feel like kicking some dollars to me.

You can also look upon the Patreon as supporting me in all my creative endeavors, not just the comic. Officially, it's the comic. Unofficially, if you want to kick in a buck a month because you like my fanfic and wanna buy me a mocha, who's gonna know? :D
