Well, that was unexpected…
Look guys, I’m so far up my own ass in debt, if we can’t get more people to join Patreon, I can’t guarantee updates forever. I cannot pay the artists out of my own pocket. I’m just in too deep. So, a couple bucks here and there goes a long way. Also, to those of you with Ad Blockers turned on, there is a graphic on the left sidebar that takes you there. Finally, update day is changing to Saturday-ish. And before anyone asks, no idea when Oshi is turning in the KND update. I don’t have it yet. Sorry!

Hey Mace is there any progress in the funding side? I try to come by once a week so I can allow the banners to help (No they aren’t distracting at all) I do hope it improves for you.
I’ll be in a somewhat similar situation soon though lucky for me my friend is going to be the artist and he is only asking fair share if any money does come from it (Personally I feel he should get more since he is the artist while all I do is write scripts. As you can see by my avatar my talent is in Sprite artwork not hand drawn stuff) which since I want to get it published one day is going to see fruition for him too.
My series though is a completely different genre to Ship here. Mine if I were to give it a rating would be Teen or E 10 I’m just not a writer of Ecchi though I do enjoy reading well writen ones. I’m more a writer like Ian Flynn or Greg Farshly. I like to write stories Kids and Adults would enjoy.
Heck the main hero who my name comes from Plokman is a robot and while he is male he is male only in mind not in the other ways if you take my meaning. But he still can fall in love there is no lust of any kind in it if he falls for a girl he is in love with her purely.
Ah I’m sorry to blab your ear off man I just wanted to ask if anything is picking up for the comic. I truly wish I could support your Patreon but I just don’t have any income to allow it. Stupid set amount a month crap and all. I’ll pop by as often as needed to help with ad revenue of course.
Look forward to finding out what is happening. This is a major cliff-hanger but I think I have a slight grip on why Ship is being hurt if Genies in this world are like some others I know well let’s just say those two are luck nothing worse happened.
Well, the only ad that gets money for clicks alone is the JuicyAds ad under the Project Wonderful box. But, still, it’s appreciated. The thing is, I’m waayyyy past the point where I can count on any “charity” from the artists, in lieu of payment. Our first artist worked on a percentage of donations, a model I learned in the time I was the artist for “The Magnificent Milkmaid”. Obviously, that shouldn’t have been a long-term thing. As time dragged on, the feelings got hard. So, I moved away from that model. I should also note that I DO write legitimate series that appeal to a “strata” of ages. Just not under this name. I’m sure with just a couple clicks around this site, you can figure out what I am talking about. 😉
To answer your question, though, we ARE making some progress at getting back to “righteousness”. This month, we have scored $14 in new Patrons, and while that doesn’t SOUND very interesting, that’s 6 new bodies in the mix. this is significant, because as I said before: I am equally happy with two-hundred $1 customer as I am with 4 $50 ones. But the lower dollar value ones tend to stick around with less flux. So, over time, their contribution adds up to a lot.
Anyway, I’m glad you’re enjoying things enough to stop by and comment and do your part to help us out. We hope to keep delivering the “goods”. And be sure to thank UncolaMan if y’all end up liking Frilly Pink. He’s the one who pushed “Issue 0” over the top.

I do hope that the comic keeps going. I would donate to the cause but I’m on a fixed income and I just cannot give any. Your comic is very interesting and at the moment I find it is a good balance of writing and ecchi.
I also wish you well on getting more cash for yourself too. Your a good writer and you deserve much more. Hopefully it will get better by chance do you get any ad revenue ? If so I’ll make sure to add your comic to my exceptions in ad blocker anything I can do to help the story and your writing career alive is worth annoyance from ads.
Please do! We have a number of ads that help us. Hopefully, they aren’t too distracting, though. Most are just small banners.
Okay, we’re about to learn something new (probably something sexy) about the physics of genie bottles.
Neat use of modern technology for Ship. Somebody reading this 20 years from now could probably narrow the date of the strip down to within 5 years based on that.
I don’t do Patreon, but I would like to send you something through Paypal.
holy crap! I hope Ship will be ok.
It’s probably just a ‘punishment’ since, presumably, genies cannot hold onto the object they are held in.
TL:DR She’s most likely fine
well, she was worried that Alan and Bea might break her bottle.
That sucks! I wish I could help, but I am already spending as much on Patreon as I can afford ATM!
Just hope others that see this will pick up the gauntlet and donate too!
