Kidd Commander!

dad’s gonna be mad

Thank you for your patience! First, a reader very politely asked me to reopen the Teepublic shop which WAS a thing many years ago but I closed because I’m not a huge fan of how they do things. But if you want, you can get some of the old designs and a few new ones over here. My options are limited, but if there are any in-comic shirts you’d like to see, let me know and I’ll see what I can do.

Sort of in that vein:

I didn’t want to announce it until we got a bit more sure of ourselves but uhh we’re moving to Colorado! There are a ton of reasons but the one I will share here is living in Tennessee in 2022 is absolutely tanking my mental health; I’m physically unsafe here both as an afab person with reproductive issues AND as a visibly queer person and my partner and I are both miserable.

We don’t actually know where we’re going to land yet, we’re trying to plan as much as we can but this is sort of toeing the line between a calculated move and a panicked flight. There’s no gofundme or anything specific we need funds for right this second, but oddly enough my comic income is going to be the most stable thing in this venture, and I’d very very much like to keep prioritizing it once we get where we’re going so I’m probably gonna seem like a bit of a shill here for a while. I hope it’s not too offputting, but if I want to keep making this comic I’m going to have to work harder to try and get support for it lmao. idk, I know y’all don’t need like life updates from me or anything but this is going to impact the comic one way or another, and I guess I wanted to sort of warn everybody that the self promotion might be ramping up because I’m fairly terrified that the tradeoff for being safe and sane is that I’m going to be unable to continue this work haha

ANYWAY if you’ve been thinking about tossing some support in this direction or you just want to help make sure the comic keeps going, maybe check out the Support page or the shop. If nothing else, please recommend it to your friends. Literally anything helps.

Thanks y’all <3
