That's me (Rob) in the above photo, aged 11. Or maybe 17, I don't know. It's hard to guess to the age of weird-ass looking kids, which I was.
At the time, I never could've predicted Cyanide & Happiness would be what it is now. Especially because YouTube didn't exist yet and nobody had invented webcomics. I couldn't have predicted Internet speeds faster than 56k, either.
But here we are! It's 15 or maybe 21 years later, and I'm a 32 year old making ridiculous animations in a studio full of really funny people.
The fact that we get to continue doing this is almost entirely thanks to the 3,419 of you who jumped in to support us on Patreon, after YouTube ads fell off a cliff.
So, thank you sincerely for supporting us, and thank you even more for spreading the word to friends. Also thank you for politely jumping into the YouTube comments and correcting the people callling us con artists. This Patreon money goes 100% to the salaries of the team actually doing the hard work of animating our crazy ideas.
Thanks for being an Ultra Mega Pal and helping secure the future of the C&H Shorts!!
