War and Peas

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:

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.

If you'd like to be one of our bosses, head over to Patreon and help keep this silly little world alive:

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!

Most of our readers don't know we have a Patreon.

Not because we're bad at marketing (well partly because of that), but because algorithms bury these posts. So if this is the first time you're hearing about it: hi!

We make these comics full-time, and Patreon is what makes that possible. Even a small pledge helps more than you'd think. And you'll get some pretty cool stuff in return.

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:

Every time a reader like you decides to support our work via Patreon, it means we get to keep on going. We plan to be around for the upcoming 15 years – thanks to our community!

We've been making comics every week for the last 15 years – rain or shine!

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.

Are you reading this on the toilet? Nice!

Are you reading this on the toilet AT WORK? You're a legend.

Are you reading this on the toilet AT WORK, WHILE CRYING, and the comic is the ONLY thing that has CHEERED YOU UP ALL DAY? You are precious and the reason we're doing this!

PS: If you're on the toilet at work and you're the CEO:

Patrons, check out this month's COMIC SMACKDOWN!

Comic Smackdown is our battle format. We go head-to-head with comic ideas, and the Patreon community decides who gets the trophy at the end of the year:

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!

You're making the internet a bit more fair. Thank you for being part of it.

Everyone says making a living as comic artists is impossible. But it's not. Every time a reader decides to support our work by becoming a Patron, it gets us one step closer to our goal. Our goal to deliver that much needed comic relief.

Spend a minute of your day with us, laugh with us, revel in the absurdity of the world with us. We promise to keep going, if you promise to keep reading – and supporting us.
