Every time a new reader, somewhere in the world, comes across our comic and laughs, their face pops up before our inner mind's eye. They become part of the War and Peas World.
This world is fueled by actual imagination and is 100% human-made (except for the occasional alien intervention). It's been built through years of joy-filled and gut-wrenching work alike. There are no shortcuts. No schemes. But there is much laughter!
We see you chuckle and dance, skipping along your merry day. And honestly? That's what keeps us going.
If you'd like to help us keep creating, consider supporting us on Patreon. Your support means we can keep drawing comics instead of getting real jobs.
Posting comics online pays exactly nothing. Every platform we're on is free to read and we want to keep it that way.
What pays for them instead: about three readers in every ten thousand support us on Patreon for a few dollars a month. Those three are the reason the other 9,997 never hit a paywall. If our comics are part of your week, you could be one of the three:

Imagine an alternate universe where we couldn’t make comics and be forced to get a real job!
Trains would be crashing, pots would be exploding, and our patient would be flatlining on the operating table while we tested out our latest jokes on the OR staff.
By joining our Patreon you enable us to do what we do best: making you laugh week for week, come rain or shine, with our comics. Your support means we don’t have to get a real job, which saves hundreds –nay– thousands of lives each week. Amazing!
The internet loves free stuff, but free often means unpaid for creators.
Webcomics are the result of untold hours of labor. Patreon is what bridges the gap between „free“ and „fair.“ By supporting us, you’re keeping this wild, weird thing alive.
You're making the internet a bit more fair. Thank you for being part of it.
Ever fallen in love for a show or comic, only to discover it got canceled because not enough people supported it? We don't want that to happen here.
The truth is: creating these comics is a labor of love, but love alone doesn't pay the bills.
Without financial support, even things you cherish can fade away. By joining our Patreon, you're not just getting perks – you're keeping this comic alive. If you love what we do, help ensure it doesn't disappear.
During our last cemetery séance, a witch appeared in a cloud of smoke with a ghastly offer: Stop drawing comics forever, and she'd grant us a living wage.
We looked at each other and cackled maniacally: "Begone, foul temptress! Our patrons are the ones we answer to!"
We told the witch: thanks to our Patreon subscribers, we ARE making a living with comics!
She grew fascinated, frantically scribbling notes. Now she's launching her own Patreon for vegan potions. And we think that's beautiful.
We want to remember the good internet. The cat clips, the funny family tales, the great comic feats. The internet that makes us laugh.
That's the internet we grew up on and the the one we want want to be a part of. We know that the world wide web is not always a great place.
Its like we are full of contradictions. One moment you're laughing at a tortoise enjoying a fresh lettuce leaf, the next you stumble across some heinous hateful trash. Thats what it feels like to be online today. Your brain cannot stand this whiplash.
Sometimes we want to throw our phones into the river and be done with it all. But then we remember you, our readers. And the good internet. And that its not time to give up just yet.

But consider this: if we had a dollar for every time someone told us our comic made them laugh, our livelihood would be ensured and we wouldn't need a Patreon.
Unfortunately, laughter is not legal tender in any country we've checked. But without it, our hearts shrivel up into sad little clumps. So, invest in laughter: sign up for secret comics, behind the scenes stories, early access, and more laughs.
If you've been reading our comics for a while without supporting us on Patreon, no guilt. Seriously. Free comics are the whole point.
But here's something you might not know: for every ten-thousand people who read our comics, roughly 3 support us financially. Those three make it possible for the other 9997 to keep reading for free.
