Hey guys, (Patreon)

I just wanted to take a second to thank you patrons for supporting me, especially through the really difficult time the last couple of years has been.  I know the quality of my work has suffered and you deserve better.  I wanted you all to know that you specifically have allowed me to keep working on the comic and have improved the quality of my life much more than I can ever properly express.  With just you guys supporting me I can keep the comic going even as ad revenue drops off.  I don't have to live in complete misery because you all allow me to.  I'm so grateful for that.  Hopefully as the new year comes I'll finally start really getting better physically and can get back to producing things the way I used to.  Hopefully significantly better than I used to, but lets keep the bar low for now.  I'm still in a lot of pain almost constantly now, but I'm learning to work faster again in spite of that.  As my parts start working properly again it should allow me to produce things even faster, fingers crossed.  Anyway don't ever think that your dollar a month, or whatever doesn't matter because it absolutely does.  Not just for me either.  She doesn't really know it, but the Teen has gotten so much stuff because you guys allowed me to buy it for her.  She seems to think that my money comes from some magical place where I don't have to do anything, but it comes from you guys way more than from the advertising on the site.  She got to go to a concert, see movies all the time,  gets to buy presents for her friends, and all kinds of other stuff because of you.  I apologize for not being able to do more for you all because you've done so much for me. 

I know a string of words isn't as good as another comic page, or whatever, but I think it's important to acknowledge your support in some way from time to time. 

Thanks.
