When we started this comic, we made a deal with each other: as long as people care, we keep going.
Years later, millions of readers care and that's the most surreal, beautiful thing. But caring doesn't automatically translate into being able to keep creating.
Patreon bridges that gap between love and livelihood: https://www.patreon.com/warandpeas
We know you like the comics or you wouldn’t be here. We tackle life’s big questions: Why are we here? Where do we come from? And why do worms make us so horny?
To be honest: Life as an artist is less glamorous than many people imagine. From the outside, it looks almost exactly like a regular office job (minus the coworkers and the free coffee). But there's a key difference: We don’t just have one single boss, we have many!
Our Patreon supporters are the generous engine that decides whether and how much we get paid.

PS: If money's tight right now: seriously, no worries. The comics stay free, no strings. We're glad you're here and paying
Fun fact: the time it takes us to create one comic is roughly the same as a transatlantic flight.
Except there are no free drinks, no movies and the turbulence is emotional. If you’ve ever wished you could buy us that airplane tomato juice: Patreon is basically that, but better.
You’ll get exclusive comics, behind-the-scenes content, and the warm feeling of keeping two sleep-deprived artists alive!
There’s a version of the future where we stop making comics. Then we open our messages and see someone telling us our comic got them through a rough week – and suddenly that future feels impossible.
You reading this right now, you’re part of the reason we’re still here.
If you’d like to make that reason a little more official (and a lot more sustainable), our Patreon is the place:

Unbeknownst to many, cartooning is one of the most dangerous jobs out there.
Forget wading in sewage, or repelling off a mountain, or welding a bridge pillar underwater: try spending one day with us down in the cold, dark, joke mines...
Watch us wrestle with filthy punchlines. Wash our hands from the soot and grime we've collected by tireless hours of drawing. Dry our tears when we've given up all hope of ever seeing the sky again!
But we're happy to do it. We'd do anything for a joke.
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.
