'zines by mail

I've started packing up and mailing out the first batch of FUN-TIME Spring 2022 comics, a brand new 'zine series collecting the best of my diary comics and cartoon essays. Issue one is 20 pages long, full-color, and filled with cartoons that will make you laugh and make you think. I'm extremely proud of it, and looking forward to getting it out to readers.

For a while now, I've dreamed of establishing a 'zine-by-mail offering through this Patreon, something that pays for itself in terms of expense, and offers something rewarding and satisfying to readers. In my opinion, mini-comics and 'zines are experienced best when they show up at your house in the mailbox, sort of how like coca-cola tastes best in a glass bottle or bananas taste better sliced up. It doesn't totally make sense, but it's true.

I've created two initial tiers to launch this program. For $3 monthly I will send you a package of 'zines and minicomics every six months. $5 a month patrons will receive new comics every quarter.

FUN-TIME Spring 2022 is my flagship series, but just for the month of March, I am including a free copy of SAD-BOY Comix & Stories #1, my celebrated send-up of mopey navel-gazing early 'aughts indie cartoonist men, intended for mature-ish readers. This offer is good for the remainder of this month. It's like my very own Toyotathon over here.

Thank-you for your continued support!

Mike
