Okay a bit of a thing first; Patreon doesn't update their FAQs so I can't tell if checking monthly payments option (something they added since I started) causes the payments to automatically be monthly without any additional work on my part. Since there isn't a dropdown box here to designate free/paid posts anymore, I'm going to assume that's the case; however I think it'll be good to give a monthly rundown of everything under the umbra. (This will be updated as the month closes out) Housepets Updates for January: http://www.housepetscomic.com/2014/01/01/electric-word-life-it-means-forever/ http://www.housepetscomic.com/2014/01/03/until-the-other-kitties-knock-em-down/ http://www.housepetscomic.com/2014/01/06/otter-pop/ http://www.housepetscomic.com/2014/01/08/gossamer-called-it/ http://www.housepetscomic.com/2014/01/10/its-a-knick-knack-paddy-whack/ http://www.housepetscomic.com/2014/01/13/a-little-ditty/ http://www.housepetscomic.com/comics/2014-01-15-jaccuse.png http://www.housepetscomic.com/2014/01/17/how-infinite-in-faculty/ http://www.housepetscomic.com/2014/01/20/investimugation/ http://www.housepetscomic.com/2014/01/22/adventure-time/ http://www.housepetscomic.com/2014/01/24/rolling-like-thunder/ http://www.housepetscomic.com/2014/01/27/you-dont-vote-for-a-king/ http://www.housepetscomic.com/2014/01/29/axing-the-important-questions/ http://www.housepetscomic.com/2014/01/31/not-the-bee/ Also: See bonus image attached! A&H Club Progress: As far as I can tell all preliminary work is finished (choosing fonts, styles, script, etc) Cover image inked (I'm going to try and at least get this colored before the end of the month so A&H will have started) Other Progress: As much as I'd like to have a story ready to fill in any gaps that A&H Club isn't going to take up, I always go slower than I expect. I want the best stories possible and hope you'll appreciate the effort I put into them. (That said, at some point I need to swallow my perfectionism pride and start releasing imperfect stories too!) Other News: This year I am going to be a Guest of Honor at both Confuzzled and Rocket City Fur Meet. The general duties of these usually mean I have to provide artwork for the convention's use, which itself takes work time and effort (I like doing a real good job on stuff people are going to wear). Would you guys like to see updates on convention artwork? In the past I haven't posted anything until after the convention was over. Other Other thing: I'm going to be selecting the Print of the Month pretty soon and I have been leaning toward the attached picture ("Sunset Surprise"). Are there any other suggestions? Any comic from this month (or the end of last year since it's January) could qualify.

Suggestion: Once you have gone through the cons and their workloads, why not creating, JUST for Patreons, a series of rough sketches depicting the 'alternate scenes' and/or the 'never realized' strips of Housepets! ? Like in a DVD's special bonus contents. Now that would be a real boost for Patreon :)

That'd be nice if I had lots and lots of bonus time to do those sorts of things; as it is I occasionally post pictures and one-off gags to Facebook as a way of increasing traffic, which I think is the best venue at the moment

The way you drew Taro in that first panel is striking. That whole panel gives me a Walt Kelly vibe. I'm digging it.
