Independent comics as an industry would barely exist these days without the tireless efforts of Kickstarter's staff behind the scenes. As they advise, keep supporting all the amazing projects you already are, but have their back in the process.

‼️🚨KICKSTARTER WORKERS ARE ON STRIKE🚨‼️

As of 8am this morning, the workers of Kickstarter United/OPEIU Local 153 are on strike.

WE ARE NOT ASKING FOR A BOYCOTT! Creators and allies, please continue using and supporting the platform.

Kickstarter United is on strike!
We are not asking for a boycott! Creators & Allies: Please continue to support & use the platform

Why We're Striking
A codified 4-day work week.
We simply want to protect the way we've been working for over 3.5 years. The 4dww has proven benefits, such as increased productivity and improved employee satisfaction. It's part of what makes Kickstarter a special, innovative place to work.
Fair pay for our lowest-paid workers.
We're fighting for livable minimum salaries for roles that are undervalued by the market but crucial to keeping Kickstarter running. We believe none of our workers should struggle to make ends meet.

Day 6 - Room Temperature Play🌡️
Took a break from strictly horny for a little bit of silly with a #schlocktober prompt 🎪

#art #comics #aoba #comicoop #ocsky

A single panel black and white comic if Faith is trying to focus on making eyeball spaghetti while Hank menacing her. Hank, who has climbed up into the doorframe of Faith's room and assumed a mid-air, reclined position with one leg kicked up seductively, says "Oooooooh noooooo. Is it HOT in here or is it just me?" One of his grabby little claws reaches for the thermostat while the other pulls back his shirt. Faith, looking extremely annoyed, responds "I swear to God Hank- if you touch that fucking thermostat again, I'm gonna make you into slippers." A fuzzy, single eyed creature peaks at her over the edge of her art desk.

IRONSCROTE page 10 is now up on patreon! furthering my commitment to making something off-putting www.patreon.com/posts/140700...

Panel of the main character of Ironscrote doubled over and clutching their crotch while they vomit gooey wads of nuts and bolts. In the background the cis girl character looks really offput by this development.

A single panel comic. Biblical-form Jehudiel looms over Faith saying "You're my favorite artist." Faith is doubled over, leaning against the panel frame, trying to hold on a "fuck" because she has come from Jehudiel's declaration.
