What to expect in July/ August?

June has (mostly) ended, and summer has finally arrived, at least in our region. But that's just a side note ;) More importantly, another month has successfully concluded, and the three ongoing comics have grown significantly, just like some digital boobs. :D
Thank you all for your support and is very appreciated. To show my gratitude, I created this sequence for you. I hope you like it.

For July

What can you expect in July? At least until mid-July, you will continue to receive the usual high-quality content. Additionally, there will be a comic called "Jack's Fairy Tale" that I prepared for the Septrender event by Teysia and Femur. The deadline for this comic is July 15th. Once it has passed Femur's review, it will be available both here and on Femur's TGComics.com. Discord users among you have already seen a short preview, but the comic already has over 20 pages. It will be published in full and not as a series. I hope this will happen in July.

Vacation

In mid-July, specifically on July 15th, I will finally go on vacation. I'll be flying to Thailand for two weeks from July 22nd, returning on August 5th. After that, I’ll need a week to prepare ongoing content, so uploads will resume on August 12th.

I'm very excited about my vacation. In my nearly 47 years, I’ve never traveled this far.

August

Now, onto August. In mid-August, I'll resume work and I plan to activate another option on Patreon that I've been hesitant about: an Annual Payment option.

This option will offer long-term supporters a 10% discount. I also hope it will encourage those who support for just one day and then immediately cancel to stick around longer.

Additionally, I'll optimize my comics as previously mentioned. While I enjoy telling ongoing stories over 200 to 300 pages, I notice that your motivation often drops quickly, and the expected interaction is minimal, regardless of the quality of the comic pages I present.

In contrast, I see many artists producing short sequences and comics (up to 20 pages) generating much more engagement. Therefore, I'll optimize the main content to rarely exceed 25 pages, providing more variety. The second comic tier will change from offering two ongoing comics to just one, but it will be updated twice a week instead of once. This will be implemented once the ongoing comic "The Mischievous Bimbo Genie" concludes, which should be in August or September at the latest.

Currently under consideration:

The Single Picture level will need a price adjustment, the first increase since 2021, from $2 to $3.50 due to my high electricity consumption and plans to purchase a second computer for animations. Simultaneously, I will start a new tier, a TipJar level, which will serve exactly as that: a tip jar, nothing more, nothing less. There will be no content in this level.

That's enough for now. I hope you enjoyed this little preview up to August, and as always, I look forward to your comments.
