Nel Celestine won this month. I think the deciding factor was definitely quantity. But it was for a great cause: she worked tirelessly to try and raise “vote boat” awareness. And as a result, we’ve been holding pretty steady near the top of page 2 on Top Webcomics. This has resulted in a rather decent uptick in traffic that e did not have to pay for, so Nel, the new vote incentive for October 1 is yours to choose. Prettío will be along sometime in the next day or so to present her list of ideas to choose from this month. (and, we also have a “whammy” surprise for later in October related to another hilarious comment XD)

Results for October Sketch to Be Decided by Sept. 15

Make sure to get your last minute remarks in on both the comic and the Chantango. All are eligible for the comment contest which will be decided on Tuesday, Sept. 15 so we can get on top of having the new vote incentive for October 1. that also means that the next round begins on Sept. 16. The decision for top commenter can come from one of several methods, the top two being funniest/most interesting individual post or an aggregate of repeat offenses on the comments section or the Chatango. So keep in mind, if you were thinking “quality over quantity”, on lean months that can work against you. The whole purpose of this is to improve visibility of the series, so the more overall comments we have, the better the search engines like it. Or, so I’ve heard.

Lastly, don’t forget to vote every day from every device with its own IP address! We’re hovering around 120 or so on the TWC leaderboard. I’m estimating a 20-40% increase in visibility if we manage to break into the top 100. We’ve had HUGE success just with being on page 2, so let’s keep pushing and see if we can nudge it just a little bit higher! The difference between 120 and 100 seems to be about 50 votes, but since everyone on the top 100 is landing votes every day, I’m estimating we need 2-3x that number to overtake. I know it’s a lot to ask, but don’t forget that more traffic = more money to us, which means more comics to you. So your efforts will be rewarded before too long.

Indiegogo 115%!!!! Also, Comment Contest?

So, just a quick update: the comment contest is being temporarily postponed. Since we picked an alternate, and then the winner showed up, we already have two selections. So be sure to vote at TOP WEBCOMICS (the voting icons are at the bottom of the whole page) to see the latest incentive! (as soon as I post it, as of this update >.>) Then next month, be prepared to have your mind BLOWN as Alan once again gets gender-bent to being a hawt chick when one of his wishes goes awry! It’s happened before, it’ll happen again. XD

The Indiegogo has reached 115%!!! But it’s not over. Rather than offering traditional stretch goals as many crowdfunders do, I am keeping it open indefinitely to help pay back some of the debt I shouldered in order to bring you FOUR new chapters of Peppermint Saga: Blue-Gray Rhapsody. That was a rather hefty $2000 expense, and someday I need to pay it back. So, if you want to chip in there, not only are most, if not ALL of the prizes still available, you can ALSO use PayPal, which Patreon does not allow for our kind of work. So if you find yourself without a bank account or credit card, fear not! You can still support us over there with PayPal! (I can’t take direct donations. I won’t get into the reasons).

Lastly, this pains me to say, but I need to make an extra $100/month for ME PERSONALLY. This money is not to go toward funding this project. However, I am not asking for handouts. What I AM doing is hanging out the commission shingle. 2-3 slots maximum per month, and you can message me for details and prices based on what you want done. I DO NOT DO COMIC PAGES, THOUGH. Just putting that out there. Also, fair warning, I am fucking SLOW. But, I am hoping with practice and a sense of urgency, I’ll be able to do right by everyone. the e-mail for inquiries about commissions is, inquiries ATT pepsaga DoTT Com. You all know the drill. 😉

We’re so close, I can feel it. But we need just a little more help, folks! $110 to be precise. This will allow me to pay Prettío to draw Chapter 10 of Peppermint Saga: Blue-Gray Rhapsody as well as have some money left over for advertising and such. Click the shitty widget on the left to get to our campaign page! (the one that doesn’t fit the sidebar… >.>)

I’m Not a Deposed Nigerian Prince?

As if you needed proof, amirite? But seriously, we’re making headway on this Indiegogo thing. 83% to goal with a lot of time left, but I don’t want to just stop at 100%. I want to use the campaign to fund other projects. So please consider chipping in. You get some great stuff, and it means the world to me and Prettío. We also got a new Patron on Patreon, so I feel a little better that we’re still getting the message out to folks and they are contributing. by patronizing this site, you keep two lonely artists stocked with Pop Tarts and bottled water to get us through this dreadful Summer. And as a huge bonus, you get some fantastic rewards for your own trouble. It’s a win-win!

Second important matter is that this is the page that just went up is the last page of July, so that means get your comments in before tomorrow at the close of business and you too can be a contender for the comment contest. The winner each month gets to help Prettío decide what incentive sketch she will draw and the winning result will end up on Top Webcomics as a voting incentive (a double-dip!). So be sure to get in there!
