We appreciate you do quality over quantity!

Quality over quantity my dude

Take your time! We rather have good comics than bad!

Stephen LaBarge

No need to get it on your conscience ❤ rather that you are happy with what you're doing, than getting stressed and tired of making them 🥰

No probs homie!

Dichotomous Dragon

The fact you’re willing to make up for it speaks volumes. We understand life happens. You’re human too

Caitlyn

In all sincerity, you do what you need to. I’m just loving being a patreon and getting all this cool stuff

Delc17

How about a comic where pixie tries to get Brutus to eat cat food

Delc17

Please don’t worry! I would even understand if you lowered the rewards because you give us a whole lot for only a dollar. Maybe do a question are and get a few ideas from other people too? Might help!

Idea! Background story on how Pixie was adopted by Owner.

Don't let yourself get burned out We love all your comics!!! your cute little dinosaur He's hilarious I love how stupid he is<3

Creativity can't be forced. Please don't worry. Take your time and stay sane ❤

Don't even worry about it! Take some summer time for yourself!

Shayleah Funk

No worries! Take time ❤️ Artistry cannot be rushed or pushed. You’re fine! Don’t burnout, that’s not any fun! Most of us don’t count or mind

Maybe a redraw of the P&B comic about Brutus's PTSD being triggered by fireworks. Everyone has to remember that dogs in general don't like them and ex military (humans and dogs) have a lot of trouble around this time

Don't rush art and ideas, it causes burnout. I didn't even notice that we were short a comic in June.

technotreegrass

If you force humor when your brain isn't ready...you become Garfield. LOL.

All good. Thanks for letting us know. You can't force it.

Nashjillian

Quality over quanitity fam 💪💪💪

Calm down, I'd still be your patreon even you were not posting anything extra here :) You're awesome artist and you deserve my 1$ (you deserve more, but I'm broke)

Thank you for your explanation, btw. Everyone needs a break at times. You're an artist and not a machine , take your time 😘

I'm on vacation and I'm thinking of a p&b comic where brutus enjoys swimming or playing with water getting all childish and with randall and mr wrinkles getting upset because they don't how how to approach. Perhaps hugo making a water bomb jumping into the pool ... idk some beach-summer-stuff 😁

I don't think anyone is upset about it honestly

Garrett Persyn

I love P&B, and Ago and anything else you give us. It literally makes my day when i see a new email from Patreon.

Barbara Miller

omg I am OUTRAGED!! where can I reach the Patreon Police??? lol, (please know I am j/k!!!)

Barbara Miller

During these crazy times I don't think anyone can blame you.

Ya can't force art, I respect your honesty and would prefer a smaller amount of quality work instead of daily Garfield...

oldrugger82

Literally the best $1 I spend every month. 😸🐶

You're good. You post comics every week, plus wallpapers, plus other stuff... You're good.

T.

Everybody is tired & discombobulated! I am happy to give you a *paid month off*! It’s a buck, man - don’t worry a bit!

Margaret Anne Knight

Dude. We pay $1USD (so about $1.60NZD for me) I feel like 1 comic a month is sufficient for that!

You shouldn't push yourself so much, you're going to get burnout dude. I'd be perfectly happy to see just one P&B comic and then whatever else you want through the month. Take care of you!

Alexander Teel

Don't worry!!!! We still love what you do!!!

I think you should do 2 P&B, 2 anything comics! I would’ve voted so, but I came in after that vote. That way you don’t get too burnt out on P&B

I wouldn't even notice if one comic is missing. I just take them as they come 😅

Ideas come when it's their time and when they're made true in their time they become the best of the bests. Good luck! And remember to relax and enjoy and stuff.

As many other have already said: Don't worry about it mate ^_^ Just try to stick to the 3 P&B comics + 1 anything :) if you do end up with some great fourth comic, write it down / draw it and save it for the month after so you don't have to worry too much when that time comes ^_^

Don't even worry about it!! It's only $1 and for me, its a way to support you, the comics are just a great bonus!

Can't wait, thank you for letting us know the plan ( take care and stay healthy !)

I know; where did June go?

Barbara Stuber

That's okay! Take time to recharge! You put out so much work for us that never disappoints! We'll be here💚💜

Ray

Meh. Chillout. Have A vacation. Don't Push Yourself. We will love You anyways. But I do appreciate being clear about it :)

Michał Tuszowski

It happens mate, don’t worry to about it

Sierra117

This^^^

TJ Hedges

As many people have said before, it's 1$ a month and you shouldn't push yourself into a burnout just for some quota. I would be happy with 1 or 2 comics or even a little doodle, or even just an artist update. This year has been...difficult and everyone needs to go easy on themselves. 4 comics or 1, doodle or no doodle. YOU come first always.

TJ Hedges

no worries! i'm honestly on patreon to support artists I like, mostly. the rewards are bonuses, and i don't hold it against someone if life gets in the way sometimes.

Sheri Spangenberg

Can't wait for July!!!

I genuinely don’t mind, like $1 isn’t much so

No worries at all! I love P and B and am excited to get them, no matter how many or few you are able to create for us.

Liz V

Don't stress about it! And please take care of yourself and let yourself take breaks.

surefireshore

It’s alright Ben! (I think it’s better than calling you the p and b guy) you’re doing great! Artist block hits us all at times! Maybe sometime you can come to us for ideas I’m sure there are a lot of great ones out here!!

At $1 a month, I dont really mind how much you put out! Dont force and overwork yourself to meet a quota that you set.

It's really not about 'paying for' things. It's about believing in your art and wanting to help you continue to create. What you give me is worth *WAY* more than what I contribute! I wish I could give more!

Cathy W.

I agree with everything said before: don't push yourself too hard, creative blank happens and we are here to support you ! And also about "you deserve what you are paying for, 1$ is so low for all this good quality content, even with one comic per month I would still feel it's not overpaid sooooo please don't worry !

Ayael

Totally get it--creativity doesn't always come when called. Excited to get comics you're proud of :)

E. Freed

We still love you! I’d rather have a quality one than one you’re not proud of! You deserve some flexibility for all the smiles and chuckles you’ve given us!

Don't worry about it. It happens to everyone, especially this chaos that we call a year.

Malinda Christensen

Take your time. Maybe another wallpaper? Something seasonal?

Take your time man. We love your content and the moments of joy it brings us. Are you planning on making an all P&B characters wallpaper? I'd love to see that 🙂

Hey :) i don't pay to have an exact number of comics but to support you, so take your time, and thank you for guaranting the quality of your comics, is important too !

Please take your time. Showing you care by not just throwing out any old cartoon is wonderful. Times are rough right now!! Take care of you first ... then take care of us and our laughter needs. 😹

Julie Rentz

Hey, no worries at all, we’re just glad to be part of your journey

Dude, you take your time - I 'get what I'm paying for' just by having the chance to support you and all you do <3 Thank you for the little moments of joy each month, and take care.

Jenna

Hey sometimes things happen, don’t worry about it. And it’s not like you’re just going “Oh well, sucks to suck” you’re actually adding what was missed on to next month. Totally fine!! And what you said just shows you care more about the content you’re giving us than the numbers you promised, and I for one care more about the content than the numbers

Amanda Pryzgoda

Honestly feel free to skip one. Zero pressure. Will continue to support

No worries! Take a breather once in a while, we'll be here ♡

No worries. Life happens. Better quality then hashed out comics to meet a quota.

Jeni Hall Peel

If you need more ideas for P and B I’ve got one. Pixie discovers a Laser Pointer!! I can see sweet Pixie turning into a Psycho Kitty for that. Ooh or Brutus stops a cat trying to get Pixie high on Catnip!! Either way I love the content you give us!! So no worries over not giving enough!

Momo-chan

I understand this completely. Don't be so hard on yourself. Take your time with comics. No pressure from our end. We support you either way

Bob said it perfectly. Quality over quantity. Also: the end of the month snuck right up on me, too - it went by entirely too fast! I totally understand. It happens, that's life. Please remember to take care of yourself, too.

Rhaevynne

I love your work. It brings me a smile every time I see it. You don’t need to make it up as far as I am concern. One can’t force inspiration and I personally just appreciate having a small moment of the day where I know I can find joy.

Xastion

My support isn't conditional to your production. Quality over quantity any day. Take your time.

Bob M

You do you, we'll be happy whenever you post a (preferrably P&B) comic...

Ard Rí Sídhhe Dragon

Sometimes inspiration is a crater on the moon. (very far away) I'm another who won't hold it against you if you miss one. 🤷🏼‍♀️ Do a wallpaper of one of your previous P&B comics? 🤔

Saga Ravn

I am with everyone else here. I absolutely love having cute wallpapers, and getting exclusive comics. More than anything, though, I support you here because your comics make me smile and while I can't give you nearly what that's worth, I give what I can in hopes it helps you. Don't beat yourself up! Do what feels best for you!

I am happy with anything you produce. If you are unable to come up with enough at one time, that's fine. Take your time. Create something fun and quality. It's not about quantity for me. Thank you for all your fun comic strips.

Everything is crazy right now. Don't be so hard on yourself! I personally don't mind giving up a comic so you can breathe a little.

No problem! Artists work at their own pace!

Julie Prommasit

My dude, you work your ass to the bone to give us some great quality. Burn out happens to all of us and sometimes its good to step back when you are dealin with burnout. Looking forward to next month but dont push yourself. Be happy, be healthy and enjoy what you do

Robert Tempest

Your good bro. I appreciate the humility, but you also need to focus on you. 🤘🏼

No worries! Life gets the best of everyone, so don't feel bad about getting behind or not finding inspiration. We're all here to support you and your fun comics and missing out on a couple is no big deal at all! Take the time you need for yourself!

Laura Pommier

Art dosen't always hold to a scedual. And I say that quality is better than quantity. Also, what about Pixie meeting a small dog? Like a pug or shitzu.

It's all good. Frankly I think it's a steal for even 2 exclusive comics. Make sure you are taking care of yourself!

Heather Brown

Don't fret. I'm supporting you to keep the comics coming at whatever pace they come, because I really love your characters. Multiple per month is a bonus... besides, you seem to manage to time the Pixie comics when I need cheering up the most. Stay well and don't worry.

Bruce Glassford

Don't worry Ben! Being a patreon isn't only about the perks, it's also about supporting an artist that we feel deserves our support. 💕

Don’t be too hard on yourself bud! You can’t force the ideas and I’m certainly not upset. You as a person comes before you as an artist! Be well 🤙🏻

Zeuswashere13

Your consistency has never ceased to awe me, and frankly, the fact that it took this freaking long for you to have a tiny hiccup in posting only further amazes. Please don't feel pressured to post if you're not feeling it; supporting favorite artists also includes said artists taking healthy breaks and letting them redirect their creativity when they need to ✌

AggieDoesArt

As with everyone here, I understand. Sometimes you need to let the creative juices recharge. Take your time. I'd rather you be happy with your work, than put out something forced. Love your work.

James Mitchell

You take care of your and P&B will come naturally.

Rowanmun

Literally one smile from you a month is worth whatever you want to charge. Anything above that is extra and so awesome and appreciated!

Shira Frank

It's cool. Life happens.

We pay .25 cents a comic. Im not sad to be missing .25 cents. Please be easy on yourself. Take time to get inspired and don't burn out! I love pixie and Brutus and would be so sad if I didn't get to read comics about them anymore. So take all the time you need!

Don't apologize for not having inspiration for a bit. It happens to the best of us and pressure only makes it worse. Take a step back and it will come to you. And it will be amazing

If you are creating, I am getting what I've paid for, between anything bonus here, plus your stuff on instagram.

Dukat

You charge all of a dollar a month. Any amount of comics would be worth it. Definitely love all of your work tho so no worries.

I am paying to support you, not to have tit for tat payment on everything. I appreciate the apology but it's not needed. Thanks for your work.

Superrad1337

Thanks for the update. I don't mind having one less comic. The ones you do make make me smile, and that makes supporting you worth it. 😊

Thanks, man. No problems with that!

I didn't even notice, I'm just happy that you post regularly and make me laugh, creativity is a fickle beast

All good.

Don't worry about it!! We love what you do and the world is crazy right now. Thank you for being such a hard worker and keeping the quality so high. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

I love your comics and would love as many as possible, but with that said, it doesn’t matter to me, how many comics you make. I just enjoy those you do make.

It's SO HARD to come up with new ideas right now. Don't beat yourself up, you're doing awesome! 😊👍

Chesca Hause

No worries! This is such a crazy time. We're happy to support you, and that includes supporting your mental health.

Jennifer Boughton

If anyone has a problem with this they can suck it LOL. It’s a dollar. You’re allowed to have a moment!! I love your comics and am so happy to support.

Jessica Steele

You’re amazing. Thank you so much (: with everything going on, we understand. We will support you always!!! We love everything you do 💖

Bro we in the middle of a pandemic, I don't think anyone should be expected to run on full capacity, but we honestly really just appreciate you in general!! Thanks for the heads up and remember to take care of yourself too!

Kim Nguyen

Nah. Don't worry about it. As you say, I'd rather have a good comic than a half-assed one. It's why I'm here to begin with. Don't get burned out. That's what I always fear from these. A creator is like, "OMG! Need thing NAOW!!" and they can really get over-stressed and it all just comes collapsing down. I'd rather you gave half as many comics, but you yourself were mentally healthy, than keep getting comics all the time and behind-the-scenes, you're on your last leg. Take care of yourself. Get us comics when you can. We'll be here.

Polar_Bear

don't worry fam, we're here for you 💙

Don't beat yourself up! You're making it up to us and that's what counts

Lena Marie

♥️👍 all good! Especially since it's this well priced

Dayna

No worries mate. Do you ever want suggestions? I'm sure some of us wouldn't mind tossing an idea or two out there. Me, I'm just happy to consume the content.

It's OK, I write myself and I know how difficult is to come up with new stuff. Take care of yourself and bring it on when the Muses wake up from their nap.

Don't worry about it these things happen. The last few months have been hectic.

No worries my dude! You’re an artist, you can’t control when inspiration for a story comes. Don’t force it for our sakes if it means it you won’t vibe with the story 🤗

I respect seeing you choose quality and loyalty to your comics , I’d rather wait to see another one of your amazing concepts than just have you toss something out ❤️

Coal

With everything going on in the world right now, pretty sure we can understand how time can get away from anyone at any time. Take care of yourself first!

No worries!! And we love everything you put out for us! ❤

Meredith L

Don’t worry Ben :)

No problem, life just be like that sometimes. Thanks for making it up to us though 😊

Inspiration is a finicky creature. Never be sorry. We love you.

Shit happens, life sneaks up on us all, no worries dude. Just make sure u are takin alil time for urself at least! Lots o love

Wolfattwilight

It happens!
