TRW Strips 001 (Patreon)

I have a lot to say in this space, but here's the big question: How would you feel about these comic strips replacing the Monday pin up twice a month?

For me, the challenge of the Monday pin up has always been "How good can I make this look in just one day of work?" But now I've come to a point where I'm more interested in the idea of "How much better would these pin ups look if I didn't have to rush them?" 

The need to do less pin ups a month was clear, but I wasn't about to just scale back rewards on my most popular tier without offering up something new in place of them. I figured a lot of you are here because of the comic, and so I wanted to do something related to the world of TRW exclusively for Patreon supporters.

I got the idea of presenting a companion series to go along with the main comic. This is TRW done as a more traditional comic strip, as opposed to a full graphic novel. 

What's the difference? Well, as you can see, there's not much drastic movement from the characters or dynamic viewing angles to be found here, so the big sex scenes will be reserved for the main comic itself. This format is much more dialog driven, with a focus on building a library of visual assets (that would be the characters, their clothes and facial expressions, etc.) that can be reused as needed. Which, for me, is awesome. Dialog is the one thing I always wish there was more room for in the main comic. This would be the perfect spot for dozens of ideas I've had for conversations between the characters that I'd never be able to fit in anywhere else. 

This first one is reliant on a reader question for the characters, which I'd like to continue, but I'm not committing the whole series to that one idea. After all, what if I don't get enough questions? Or what if I get questions for awhile but then they drop off? So this strip will cover both fourth wall-breaking reader questions as well as canonical (but not exactly plot-crucial) conversations between the characters as well to help flesh out the cast of TRW.

I've gone on quite a bit but there's one more thing to cover: How to ask a question for this series. It's simple, just send me your question in any way you like, be it here, as a PM, an email, anything, and I write them down, every last one. I'll answer the questions based entirely on whether I can come up with a strip that would be fun, interesting, or sexy based on the question posed. Inspiration hits me randomly, so I can easily see myself logging a question with no idea how to answer it, only to come up with something perfect two months later. 

So what do you think? This is all very experimental now, and if you guys don't think these strips are a fair trade for less pin ups please let me know, as nothing is set in stone just yet. This is probably the biggest shake up in my rewards format since I first launched this page (four years ago this month!) and I want to get this right. 

Be it positive or critical, I'm looking forward to your feedback, and any questions you might have for the characters!
