Well, this has been a rollercoaster week, so far.
The Patreon Billing Bug seems to be corrected, but I just found out that one of my patrons did me the immense favor of leaking all current comics on one of the most famous piracy sources on the web, which is gonna make them spread everywhere pretty soon.
Now, it may seem idiot of me letting you know this and I know a large number of you will leave the patronage, since "why pay for porn that can be gotten for free?", but I need to remind you of the importance of your financial support.
First:
The amount stated on my frontpage couldn't be more deceiving. What I actually get from that is around 50% (deducted credit card fees, patreon fees, declined patronages and my own country's international income taxes).
So, this month, I should receive around U$2600 which is enough to pay for averagely 2-3 artists. But that's not exactly how it happens, since I have to start comics many months in advance.
Second:
You can see by looking at my past milestones, that the minimum amount to keep releasing 2 comics a month is $4000. If we get below that, releasing only a comic a month will mean even less income and well... it all comes collapsing down.
Conclusion (tl;dr):
Your financial support is what makes this going. I get nothing from this and put a lot of work into it all. If support diminishes too drastically, I won't be able to keep it going.

I count on you guys to stick around, despite the feeling you might be "wasting" your money.
Either way, it's been fun so far.
I hope it lasts.
