War and Peas

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.

We know constant plugs are annoying, but please try to take a different perspective here:

Although millions of people read our comics every week, it's still difficult for creators to make a living. We don't get any money directly from Instagram or any other platform we post on.

If we wouldn’t have a Patreon page, we’d have to get real jobs and couldn't make comics at all.

So when you see plugs from us or any other artist, please be kind and remember we're just trying to keep creating. Thank you for understanding!

Go to Patreon for more:

You scroll past these comics to escape stress, but on the other side, creators are drowning in it. Platforms profit from our work, but we see none of it.

Patreon is the difference between creating out of love and creating out of desperation.

If you've ever laughed, smiled, or felt less alone because of our comics, know this: Your support means the world to us.

Thank you for being part of the story and helping us keep creating what we love.

The kids are alright This lifesaving sturdy shopper bag is made from EarthAware certified 100% organic cotton. The cartoon is a handmade silkscreen print, produced locally.

During our last cemetery séance, a wicked 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.

PS:

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.

Our new book “Hi, Earth” is filled with funny stories about our favorite planet (Earth) and its inhabitants!

Order it anywhere online or at your local book store. We also offer signed copies in our online shop including an original scribble in each copy:

Every comic we publish takes a lot of steps, from the initial scraggly idea to the final post. There's the sketching, the inking, the coloring, the writing, the rewriting, the "is this even funny?" crisis at 2 AM, and the sacred final click on the ol' publish button on our tried and true website.

We do this every single week because we love it and because you show up to read it.

And the best part: With the help of Patreon, we can turn that thing we love doing into something we can actually live off of. If you'd like to be part of that, we'd be honored.

Right now, a small but mighty group of patrons is keeping this comic alive for millions of readers.

They're not billionaires or corporations, they're people like you who decided that a few dollars a month was worth it to keep something they love going.

We'd love for you to join them. Not because we need saving, but because we believe that this is the future of a fair internet. Supporting creators directly means more great things get made, for you and us to enjoy.

Throwback to 2018

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:

Think of our Patreon like a secret backstage door.

Out here, you get comics. In there, you enter our weird sanctum: comic battles where you can vote, the jokes that were too unhinged to post publicly, and the satisfaction of knowing you prevented 2 artists from having a real job.

The door is open. Come in: 

Putting art on your wall transforms those moments when you're just walking past into tiny moments of joy – like discovering a twenty in an old jacket, except it happens every single time you notice it.
