important! this month's updates

You always deliver. I had to cut back my tier for financial reasons this month, but not at all to do with you. Thank you for your amazing work. Just read the Harley Quinn Black+White +Red. Sooo beautiful. Love the shadows and your work is beautiful in greyscale. Glad you are on the mend!

Ames

My 10 year old has Covid... Take care, all the time you need and the money!

Laura Van Aert

I'd gladly subscribe for a layer of "social benefits" :), earned and fair. Wish you swift and full recover, COVID is a real bitch, please take it easy.

Olga Vol

In NZ we call it sick leave. 😜 Seriously, don't even stress, man. 👍 Take care of yourself. It's good of you to notify us of the drop in posts for specific tiers, but I sure as hell am not stopping or dropping my sub. Your work is beautiful and inspiring and I think it means a lot to people. It means a lot to me. So you should damn well get paid sick leave in my opinion. ♥

Alex Bridger

Thank you for the sunstone update. Take whatever time you need to get well again. We'll be here.

Harry Payne

Geez, Louise...Just chill Stejepan. We get it when we get it. YOUR LIFE AND HEALTH COMES FIRST....

Desmond Auer

Pleeease rest so you don’t have worse lingering symptoms, we want you to stay well instead of feeling you owe us. You’re very prolific, this is balancing time and happy to keep paying.

I'd rather there be a delay than a grave. Your health is more important so your creative mind and hands can inspire & uplift the rest of us.

David J Ward

I have no need to pause my support. I support because I love your art, not specifically because I get X comics every Y days. Heal up and go from there.

Alexander Gordon

So well said

oldrugger82

I don't regard my tier payment as something in exchange for a thing - sure, there are perks but they're optional gifts from you in my mind. I see the subscription as my small contribution to giving you the freedom you need to make art that otherwise would not get made. And part of that is being able to be ill and recover properly without worrying about your bills and putting food on the table. TL:DR , rest up : we got you.

We are just so glad that you're OK. Rest up, we aren't going anywhere!!

Lacey Harris

Don't stress yourself! You have given us more than we paid for for months, so please focus on getting healthy again. Take care of yourself and your health first. We all will be here when you are fully recovered :)

Silke

It speaks volumes about your integrity as an artist that you are stressed about delivering what is promised on time, but please don't overextend yourself. Take care of yourself first, take your time to fully recover. Until then, the art can wait, we will still be here. ;)

Havrabelle

Damn, you got covid? I'm sorry to hear it. I have zero issue with you releasing less this month and wouldn't hold you to releasing extra next month to make up for it. I would hope other fans feel the same.

You have nothing to be sorry for. You just need to take good care of YOU.

Skyeanna Malito

You are the best $6 I spend every month, perk or no perk! I hope your health keeps improving, sending positive thoughts your way. <3

You deserve your sick days. Hope you continue to recover well!

Just don't fucking die and we'll call it square

Quixotic

Take care of yourself, take the time you need to recover. As some said earlier: you earned my money even without 6 or 5$ tier. You do awesome stuff and your work is impressive af. So don't worry, the only reason I would stop my patreon to you, would be that I don't have (enough) money. So don't worry and take care of yourself, Linda and all your loved ones.

Benny Henning

Mate, I'm just glad you're ok and recovering. Take care of yourself and your family. You've still got my support.

Take the time off. Get better. When you are well you will be able to do what you do easier, and better. It's worth the wait.

Stephen

Thank you for letting me give you my money. May the health gods be in your favor!

Em M

Stjepan, you've been exposed to one of the worst known pathogens humankind has found and we still do not understand well the long term sequels. Take care of yourself, of Linda, and of all your loved ones. Whatever work you do, just work at the rythm you can and don't worry for any delays.

Carlos Ocaña Salceda

Just take care of yourself, Covid is no joke.

Your work is worth the money and the wait, please just take care of yourself. Getting COVID is a valid excuse for a delay, especially if the symptoms persist. 6 dollars is a small price to pay to keep an excellent artist in business.

Take care of yourself, man. I don't care if you can't publish anything, just take my patreon money, you earned it anyway :)

Elisabeth Watson

You're only human, and frankly your work rate would kill most people. I don't think anyone would begrudge you this. It's only ten days, after all.

Lee Terry

Take care of yourself and don't worry. No one will blame you for getting sick. Working while sick is a bad idea anyway, it only prolongs recovery.

Take care sir, get rest and get better, that is the utmost importance. You've been on full throttle since the beginning and accumulated a ton of bonus points in my opinion, no need to worry about the updates :D

I think it's important that you explain this openly. I don't see anything wrong with that at all, on the contrary. Therefore, please do not stop Patreon for being sick, but look at yourself and your loved ones. We are all here waiting to see what new things will come when you are healthy again.

Please, take care of yourself and those you love. We don't expect you to work when ill or giving care to your loved ones. We don't expect you to make up for lost work. You shouldn't demand this of yourself either.

Jef Van Vinckenroye

You caught covid, you didn't slack off. If people can't tell the difference and get upset with you, that's their problem. Just don't overwork yourself because you are still recovering

OpalKat29

From my point of view, don't worry about this delay. Don't pause the patreon, and work as you doo usualy. Rest and take care.

Linkros Leonhart

You were sick! I think very few would penalize you for that when month after month your content is terrific. So rest as needed still

Maureen Albertson

Totally forgot to comment about it, but I absolutely loved the last Sunstone update. You are totally overdeliver. And if covid stops you this month I'm ok about it (speaking as one of 5$ patrons you're so worried about). Take care of yourself and better don't burn yourself out trying to do everything at once next month. We all love you for your quality. And if it requires some time that's also ok

Артем Кирнев

Please take care of your health!

Anders Ripa

You have been amazing in what you produce. Please rest and get better. Happy to do my little part to support your amazing work.

Dude relax and rest, better have less now and next month that not having anything because you didn't care yourself, nobody here is gonna blame you and we all would put your health before your work. Take the time you need and don't screw yourself up just to compensate something doesn't need to be compensated.

Ktlist

Just take care of yourself and rest. Your health is more important than anything else <3 Don't feel like you have to push yourself to give extra content later - you are allowed to have time where you produce less to take care of yourself (even beyond this Covid stuff ;) ) Lots of good vibes your way!

Here to upvote the "Stjepan, it's all good, take care of yourself, we'll be here." thread, but also to enquire what supermarket Perpendikular shops at. I need...shovels.

Tim Hamilton

Damn it Stjepan, shut up and take my money. ^_^

FirstOfThFallen

Please remember that you're human as well, we're an understanding lot. Your health comes first, comics aren't as important as your life. <3

Pixelkaye

Dude, you were sick. Anyone who has a problem with that is not someone you want as a patron. As you said, you overdelivered previously. This is Nemesis' way of balancing things out. Just take the hit and move on. These post-COVID symptoms of fatigue can last for months. Don't mess with Nemesis. She can be a bad-tempered bitch. Just ask Narcissus. Oh, you can't (OK, maybe you can in Death Vigil).

Kaffeyette Lektor

Don’t sweat it, you were sick. Get well, keep calm and carry on. On my side, you don’t need to « overdeliver » for april and May.

Stein

Don't strain yourself. Get healthy. Get well.

madlycan

Stjepan, please stop saying that and being sorry! Patreon isn’t a supermarket, where you get 3 ball-gags, 2 shovels and a beautiful butterfly wing for your 5 bucks. We (okay, I speak for myself, but I think many agree) are here, because we love you and your works. That’s why we want to support it and even feel a bit involved :). So as for me, I don’t care if I don’t get any updates. Because I just want to know, that somewhere in sunny Croatia my favorite (and healthy!) author works on his next book. It makes me a bit happier)

Perpendikular

All good man, you pump out more material than a lot of patreons I follow, covid ain't a tiny thing, were just glad you're doin okay

Daniel Smith

health comes first!!! don't push yourself too hard cause you'll end up having a relapse of exhaustion and feeling like crap. Your content is worth waiting for so take your time.

Aldrea

Dude. Just take care of yourself. We're not going anywhere. I truly appreciate your work ethic and that you want to make sure you provide value for the support you receive. But we understand shit happens, especially right now. Relax, get healthy, and then keep providing wonderful stories and art work for many years to come.

Dan Jones

You have my complete support!! Very glad you did not pause patreon. You've provided us with tons of amazing content and I am thrilled to support you. Hope you feel better!

You've been ridiculously prolific since this thing kicked off, you're allowed a breather. Focus on your health, so that we can all keep enjoying this awesomeness in the future!

Get well soon! Like a lot of your fans, I use Patreon to give you a little money every month so that you can carry on making art. We know you'll make all the art you can because you're an artist. I don't care at all about holding you to some kind of schedule. Look after yourself.

Stephen Wells

As so many have said before me: Please focus on your health. The whole point of Patreon is to support through thick and thin. Don't pause it! Get well and take care!

Anita Anisai

First of all: I am happy that you are on the verge of recovery. Second of all: Even if you would just be stressed out, a breather of a few days is more then okay. I know I cannot speak for all the patreons out there, but I will continue paying you, even if you take a few days or even a bunch of weeks of. If you announce these breaks soon enough, every patreon can decide for himself if he wants to continue donating. Being a german, staunch defender of mandatory paid leave, I'd consider that bs, but hey. Everyone is different. :D

S K

You know what? I'm pretty sure we are all very relieved you made it mostly through covid (and hope there won't be any long term effects for you), so I'm certain nearly no one would complain if you took this month a full rest. Or the next one. Or dont give extra large content in the next months but focus on your health. Because that's what you should do-rest and become healthy again. I bet most of us prefer to have you and your amazing works with us on the long run, instead of evenly paid out single months. :) So don't fret about patron content just take it easy a bit longer till you really are over the nasty shit and feel healthy again.

Xion

Hey, it's sick pay man! Please concentrate on feeling well first, you go above and beyond with your artwork. Get plenty of rest! :)

Dude it's ok to keep getting paid to take a breather! The whole point of Patreon is to support through thick and thin so you can live your life and I get to enjoy your beautiful art!

Allison Matthas

Take your time, get well. Not going to unsub because you got such. Your art and stories are worth waiting for.. Don't over stress yourself

Honestly, take your time to rest. You don't owe us this month work, the best you can do, for you and everyone else, is get better! So rest assured that we are here for you.

No need to pause the Patreon, COVID is nasty, so please just take the time to recover.

Gleth

Please take time, rest and get well!

Roselyn Shade

Don't worry. You're only human and really deserve a bit of rest. :)

You always deliver above and beyond expectation, take your time and get well ...your stories are well worth the wait 😊

With you there. Get well and take care of yourself and yours

I'm staying subscribed - I want to support you no matter what.

Belbe

Seriously: take good care of yourself first and foremost! No perceived “dept” here whatsoever. I feel like you are constantly over-delivering! So please don’t push yourself too hard, rest, recharge, and don’t worry. We’re here for you! 😊

Anya and Michael Scarpa

Personally, I don't pay for your patreon in exchange for my "monthly dose." I pay your patreon because I love your work and I want to support you in it as much as I can. So, whatever it is on my part, take my money and get better. :)

Virc A.

My toughts exactly !

Axelle Prouvot

Take care of yourself.

Matteo Manino

First and foremost you need to get well. There is no chance to buy a second body because you weren't cautious enough with the first (I can tell). I for myself wouldn't even mind if you skip content due to health issues and I wouldn't pause or cancel patron 'cause of it. Take your time please and rest to get back to full health again.

Health first, then the rest. Your content is always worth it. Take whatever time you need, as I believe most of us are here for the long run and for that we need you to be at your best form 😁 Take care, both of you. P.S.: Honestly, I have never really fell in love with someone's art & work the way I did with your and Linda's. As cheesy as it may sound, it's true. So you have my support whatever may come, no pausing or any such thing! ✌️

Nika

Covid is serious shit. Don't overdo and recover. You have always been a beast cranking out comics. Nobody is going to fault you for falling a little behind when you're sick.

Joshua Wolfe

Please take all the rest you need!! Don't stress this much over producing, you are already an inhumanly productive artist and everything you did is amazing!! So don't worry, we'll be here, waiting and paying what you deserve!

As others have said, don't worry about it and take your time to make sure you're back to full health. I think everyone here wants you healthy and happy above all.

Grey Cynic

I just bought Harley on Amazon a few weeks ago. Your art and storytelling is amazing. I'll continue to support because you deserve it. Not an art on demand. Covid is no joke, bless. please rest and feel better.

Shannan Strickland

Hope you feel better soon. Also I know you always deliver the best content, so always here to support you and your art. Rest up and get strong!

Jennifer Wick

I feel you generally provide two months of content every month. So if you do nothing this month except recover, I'm still ahead by (checks notes) more than 6 months of content. Get well soon.

Fester's Lampshade

Don't even stress about lost time. We're just glad you're better now!

Dan Storm

Relax, you can't force the art, especially at your quality!

KF5TQN

Seriously! I backed an artist that had to take a year off. I kept paying because I can afford it, shit happens, and they needed help. Just get healthy again!

Bryce Maryott

You may have missed this, but I don't think any of us give a shit about you missing a few updates. Duck, take the month! Take next month if you have too!

Bryce Maryott

I've never thought of you owing us anything other than the ability to keep creating your art. IF you are thinking of us as client/employers/etc though, it is more than reasonable to expect a bunch of sick days. This idea that you need to keep working through a disease that has brought the world to its knees is absurd. GET BETTER! SURVIVE! We love your work.

Colossus1138

This sounds like a great plan! You are the best :D

Classical Salamander

Dude, I am here for you and if we get less this month, but you're getting better, that's A-Okay with me. I'm glad you're recovering. 💕

PJ Buck

No worries get better, there is no need to pause you always do quality stuff and for years you had been putting out free amazing art on deviant art. Worry about getting healthy take all the time you need for that.

Typhaon

Please take care of yourself first. Covid is serious business. I'd give you my money even if I didn't get anything. Your Death Vigil series gives me life.

Steph1roth

Covid is nothing to mess with. Take care of yourself first. We can be patient.

Ditto to what everyone else said and I hope you feel better soon! Been following sunstone updates since like.....before the first book came out (not a humble brag) I mention it bc i've long learned that your content is amazing and always worth the wait! Also I've felt totally spoiled with the amount of updates you've been doing so please don't give taking a small break (bc of fucking covid!!!) a second thought. *insert shut up and take my money meme here* and seriously take all the time you need

Duuude, the most important thing is your health. You have been overworking yourself even before you got Covid, so please, please take it easy and take care of yourself first and foremost. And please don’t Pause patreon- I for my Part will keep supporting even if there aren‘t any updates for a few months. Covid is only a bigger reason to support you. Get well, rest, take it easy. I hope you‘ll get rid of any covid shittety very soon :)

Thy Mian

Ditto to all the above, Man! I admire your work ethic and taking the honor of your followers seriously, but we’re happy to stand with you while you recover from this nasty-ass virus. Do whatever you need to to get better and don’t rush anything!

Hal Bowman

Hell no you don’t turn it off. You have steadily given us great content. Shit happens please rest and recover

Take what time you need! Get well! As someone else said, fuck pausing Patreon. You should be allowed paid time off, just like us office schmucks. :)

Natalie Wagner

I’m not pausing a damn thing, sir! You barely pause when supplying us with such awesomeness! You do what you need to do. Thanks for all that you do! Get better soon.

Chris

Don't worry about it! Hope you feel better soon!

Tanya

Very glad you are on the mend. 🥰

Cassandra Cavenaugh

Definitely NOT pausing my Patreon. I love your work. You always deliver so much high quality content. No way I could ditch you during a time like this. thank you so much for the thought you showed in posting this. But THE MOST important thing is that you take time to recover fully. Take Care

Amber

I use Patreon to support artists, not to buy art. Please take the time you need to heal and take care of yourself!

You got COVID?? I think anyone would understand a break. Please rest and take care of yourself! The amount of comics you normally deliver is already insane, you deserve a break!

emylisis

*Ahem.* Fuck pausing patreon. We're (most of us) here because we support you. Hence why we throw money at you just so you can keep filling the world with the awesome works of your creative mind. From where I sit, getting hit with Covid is a reason to give you more support, not less. I love that you're so honorable and that you don't take us for granted. But if there was any debt incurred by a wasted month (there isn't: "I got the Plague" is a valid excuse), the humility and stress you conveyed in this post paid it. Rest, relax, and recover. Then get back to doing what you love. :)

Vairya1

You have been overworking yourself for the small amount you charge on here. Speaking for myself, I'm fine if you need to take it a little easier, compared to the normal blistering pace you work at!

Temperjoke

I pay to support your wonderful, creative, art and story telling; I'd rather you take time to recuperate than stress about 'owed-deadlines'. Take care of yourself and don't stress out. Many of us will be here to continue supporting you!

GrumpyAvatar

Given what I've seen from most Patreons, you legit do like two or three times as much for less than half of what some of their LOW tiers charge. You've given so much of yourself for us, and I think it's only fair you get to take whatever time you need, especially with being sick (and STILL working even then).

Travis Akin

Sir if you were here and working for some company and caught that shit you'd have payed time off. So as far as im concerned self employed should be allowed the same if they have any means whatsoever of doing so. Focus on recovering and don't overdo it you don't owe your health to anyone.

You were/are sick! I am totally ok with whatever you need to do to get healthy first, and draw only as you can. Please feel better soon! We'll still be here!

R Coots

Take your energy to recover, man. I'm happy to support.

KayM

Take the time you need, you got Covid for christ sake! Thanks for letting us know and it's clear from the comments we will all be here and waiting for your return. Your work is worth the wait. Take as much time as you need and don't work yourself sick okay!

Flame Had

Don't worry about it. you take care of yourself first and foremost. i am not going anywhere :)

I will support you till the end of time for all the beautiful artwork and joy your stories have brought me. 5 dollars is nothing compared to what you have given me.

Nick drake

Please take the time to get better and don’t worry about it. We are all just glad that you are ok. Of course we will support you through this.

Shaine Morgan

Its freaking covid, dont sweat it! Thanks for being up front about it though :)

Dude, Covid is nasty and can linger for a long while. Please take care of yourself and I will gladly offer my support during these months towards the content of you healing up! 💙💙💙💙

Rebekah Knuth

I absolutely appreciate your transparancy, but please don't stress yourself out over this. You're allowed to be sick. You deliver more than enough value for the small amount of money you ask. Even if you had delivered absolutely nothing this month I wouldn't have cancelled my subscription.

Maybe, maybe not

I am very happy you are coming out the other side. Remember to not expect yourself to be at full energy right away.

Fritz Sands

Get outta here with that guilt Sejic, and take my money with you! (Feel better!)

Jon

Rest. Get healthy. Take care of yourself. Everyone should get sick days, so don't stress about it.

Leo F

Dude with everything going on right now I had no idea you posted to a schedule to begin with :), take your time, everyone needs time off/sick days!

QuiteGhost

This comment section kinda gives me back faith in humanity. 😉 As the others said, I appreciate your honesty and ethics, but man, keep my dollars and go take care of yourself. We can wait. ❤️

ShamWerks

Hey man, take all the time you need. We'll all still be here. Hope you feel better in the coming days man

How?? How could I stop paying your amazing work because you've been ill?? What kind of person do you think I (we) am (are)?? To hell with this month updates. You've delivered more and beyond and I know you'll keep doing it. So, get well as soon as you can, because I'll be still waiting for those updates here and supporting your art.

Juan Diego de Usera Echevarria

I love your work and since patreon is the only way i can show support i wont pause it, so dont worry and just try to get better <3

Dont stress yourself over things, good sir. You're worth the wait. Focus on your health and rest. Covid 19 is an absolute bitch. We still love you!

Sarah Lannister

Take whatever time you need for yourself. Your health comes first! I'm sure most of us would rather you focus on getting better rather than feeling obligated to release content. Take care of yourself! <3

SpyderArachnid

Good to read you are getting better! I had this shit too and my husband has Corvid Long now. Please, PLEASE, calm down, enjoy some quiet time and for me it is absolutely okay that Patreon stays on. You need rest now and I prefer having your amazing comics within the next years and not burning yourself up trying to fulfill some really hard tasks, while suffering this damn illness. Try to cure yourself and being rested is important. Please don't worry. Your work gives me so much... Let Patreon on and enjoy a bit of sleep, binge watching or whatever... Best wishes, Britta

take it easy man! I rather you'll get healthy. If you wouldn't deliver any content at all this month that'd be fine with me as well. You caught the f'n rona ... no explanation needed.

Dude, you are OK. No bad feels. Get better. I won't be mad, and I so not think anyone else will be either...

Mark Metzler

Please don't worry about this. I'd happily pay my $12 for a couple of months of no comics if that's what you need to get better. Forcing yourself to work while sick is a good way to stay sick.

gb

Take your time and rest. This shit is no joke. Not gonna pause if anything im gonna up my tier lol.

I think this is more about letting you create art in peace, not to reach a specific quota. Getting excellent comics is nice, but having a healthy comic writer is much better. Take good care of yourself, we will need your expertise in many years to come ^^

No hurry!

Windsaw

Your stories are amazing and captivating. Your arts are awe inspiring. Please don't worry we get a ton of bang per buck and happy for more!

Chris Pulse

Not gonna put patreon on pause, just get well and don't stress to much about your work schedule

Nancy Kington

Hi Stjepan, Totally OK, no pressure, no hassles. You are the first person that i've ever supported on patreon as I just love what you do. Rest up and thank you. :)

Really man, we'll be fine. Take care of yourself and Linda. Your Patreon gives us more bang (and bangs!) for the buck than anybody else - I think we can cut you just a tiny bit of slack this one time.

DarthKatchoo

Please take care for yourself. I can wait.

Hyperio

You have given away huge amounts of wonderful content over the years. Happy to support you on Patreon - totally reasonable decision!

My wife, my son, and I all had Covid in January. We basically lost the whole month. Luckily, I have paid sick time at my job - AND SO DO YOU. We Patrons don't mind you taking off when you need to. Take care of yourself!

Buck Caldwell

Insert Phillp J Fry "Take My Money" meme here. I am on Patreon to support creators whose work I enjoy. Not for the extra or advance access content (though that is always appreciated!). Take care, get well, recharge your creative juices.

Roo

it's cool-and-the-gang. Create at your leisure, we'll still be here.

Terry Edwards

For me, you don't have anything to explain, we know you were sick and couldn't work; but still, I thank you for doing it. I don't plan on going anywhere, and my pledge remains. I hope you feel better soon.

Ricardo Barrig

What they said. I'm sure you will never short change us in the long run. We love your stuff. Take care.

I am 100% satisfied with even less output than you have planned, if need be.

Joe Auerbach

Completely OK, just get feeling better. That is all that really matters. Looking forward to the end of this chapter of Sunstone.

Derek Skipper

Stjepan, please take your time! You put out so much content already and by FAR the noisy important thing is for you and Linda to be healthy. I'm so relieved that covid was relatively mild for you both, despite how terrible you've felt through it (in comparison to how it's been absolutely devastating or fatal for so many) but even so there may be longer effects, so PLEASE don't push yourself, take time to rest still; we'll be here eagerly waiting when you're able to release updates but don't overwork yourself!

It’s totally ok! You need to rest and recover! No worries. Take whatever rest you need! Happy to support you!

It's all good so no worries. Do what you have to do and stay healthy.

You’re a top quality and highly productive artist; we’ll stick with ya through highs and lows...

Don't worry about us, these are extreme circumstances, wish you the best to you and Linda in the recovery

cookiecryptid

More than okay.

Samuli Olki

You and your wife are my two favourite comic creators, so my only wish is that the two of you are well and healthy through this situation. Don't worry too much about us right now, even if your honesty is very, very appreciated. Please get well soon.

Empo

Take all the time you need.

Mike

No worries, man. We understand stuff happens now and again. Your stuff is amazing and I (we?) are happy to support you.

Lazarus Redmayne

I'm relatively new to your Patreon, but you and Linda surviving this horrible illness is the most important thing. As long as I've got the money to send it your way as appreciation for how much I've enjoyed your work, I will. If I ever have to pause my patronage, it'll almost certainly be because of problems on *my* end of this bargain. I've been really worried about your condition, but really glad to see your updates on Twitter, and I'm glad to see your fever's broken. Best wishes on your recovery!

Shaz

Take your time. Get well first. We'll be here.

Rens

Complete honesty: I would still support you if I had to wait between Full releases. You're my fav artist!Just take care of yourself

Ghost

your wonderful work is always worth it, i signed up when you announced dv 2, and i ended up finding so much more. take care of yourself.

philip brown

no worries. Glad to see your doing better. :)

William W

You've done so much extra work lately. There's no reason to kill yourself needing a break. As others said, take a bit longer! Your health is the most important thing here. We'll all be waiting!

Catherine LaCroix

Get well, take your time!

Farnir

I'm glad you're feeling better. Don't rush back into it though! Covid tends to linger a bit in things like tiredness and such. Either way, you have my support in this!

Get well soon, and take your time!

Sjoerd

No worries, if you skipped a month or two it is just fine, you have to recover, health first art later! We are not going anywhere.

awr74

Your well being takes priority over updates ! Take care.

Ahez Ys

Man, don't sweat this. You are human, you've been really sick. I doubt any of us are horrible enough to feel like we've been cheated because you had the misfortune to become ill. Do what you can, and don't push yourself so much that you fall ill again with something else.

Please take time to get better! You need to take off more time, please do. Patreon is important... Your health is more important. Have $5

Ezirao

Please don't overdue it, Covid is not to be messed with, happy to wait, always worth it!

John Henderson

What all the others said. We love your work and we want to support you. You just focus on getting rid of that covid!

Bro chill. Have a beer and play some vanguard strikes with Linda or something. See you soon champ

Varren

I'm new around here, and no worries on my part. This isn't going to even make me blink. Just concentrate on getting well, it's not like you got sick on purpose to rob us. Hahaha Glad you're doing better and you survived. Good luck, I hope nothing lingers, and take care. Looking forward to more once you're completely recovered.

Tam Chronin

Neither art nor life is a straight line. Your work and your passion are worth it.

Nizing

Take care of yourself first please, your health is paramount.

Devvy245

Bad months happen to all of us 💪 I hope you'll get over Covid soon. Can't wait for the mecha prologue 🥰🥰🥰

Alice

You'll take my money and like it!

StLOrca

Relax. Get better. No worries from me.

Fritz Sands

Oversized = Standard Stjepan length. No way i would ever pause patroning you. Take ur time, be well :)

Nopik

Oh, shut up and take my money!!! XD Joke aside, your health is so much more important and you need to properly recover, first and foremost! I'm sure that you will be "repaying" us in no time once you have gotten through this. For me being one of your patreons was never supposed to imply that i would be "buying" something from you (hence the quoted words); it is meant to be supporting you, not merely your art but you as a whole human being and, yes, that does include your wellbeing! Take care and don't push yourself too hard, covid is a really nasty beast that needs to be properly tamed!

Take care of yourself first! And make sure you test plenty during recovery!

Snarkysciurus

Personally, considering how much you provide for so little in return, I’d see no issue if you took a month or more just to recover. I’ve had covid myself and it completely wiped me out so I absolutely understand how you’re feeling. Please take all the time you need, those who appreciate your work will support you all the way

Ooof, hope you don’t end up with any of the nasty long term stuff. Glad you’re feeling better.

Yeoman

I am so glad that you are starting to feel better. Dont worry, bad stuff happens to people and am still going to keep my subscription up. Dont push yourself to hard, Covid sucks.

Throwcat2

Truer words were never written!

Neraced

Rest. Like others have said, I have gotten years of enjoyment from you for free, I give so that you [hopefully] don’t have to kill yourself with work to make art for us to enjoy.

Health is more important. I will support you and you get well. This is not a company with deadlines. I can wait and enjoy your art when you are recovered!

Iñaki Rodriguez Villelga

I can only mirror the rest of these comments, recover and don't worry about it. You always deliver great stuff and this is a thing that could not be planned. Anyone can get sick and be down for a few days. It's all good

Take care of yourself, I’m happy to wait for work I love

Ronan Keane

Please, take your time and recover. Like many others I'm entirely ok with skipped tiers or even an entirely skipped month. Being a bit of workaholic myself I know this feeling about deadlines and obligations, where you can't just rest and recover while being sick. But these are moments when you do need rest, especially with covid.

ConstantinT

100% on behind you! Thank you so much for all the content, and being so upfront and honest.

You have COVID ! lol take time for you - I will continue to support you through all this, considering moments like this is where you need support the most since you need to recover ! Take my money and get better please ! We need you well !!

Andrea Mishell

Your health is way more important. You push out amazing content every month, more than we are paying for. You need to slow down and rest, that is completely understandable. Feel better!

Michael James

I can't imagine someone being so awful that they would pull or pause their patronage while you've been suffering from COVID. Even if I got nothing for a few months, I'd still be proud to back you.

Aristotle Fellatrix

Stjepan, you have more than fulfilled your side of the bargain all these months. And Covid is not your fault _and_ you still did all that preparatory work. Can't you stop that bull***, shut up and take my money ? Thank you <3 <3 <3 <3

Thomas Depierre

i love your stuff and considering how long I have been reading Sunstone for free on deviantart, I am really don't care that for one month youu didnt give much in the way of updates. you deserve your rest and recovery, would happily pay even if you didnt post anything for several months.

Jerome Masse

Rest, recuperate and take time to get better.

Robbie Foggo

Take your time, your health is first and most important. I’m sure i speak for all of us when I say we will be happy whenever you drop the updates. Until then, be safe and rest!<3

morrito

I'd be totally fine without any extras for a skipped tier. You deliver a huge amount of amazing content for one person to handle even without covid and deserve a proper rest & recovery!

Rest and recover, consider this month sick pay if you have to! Your health has to come first.

The Kat Kid

I’m just glad to hear an update that you’re past the worst of the acute problems. Many people have lots of fuckery for weeks and months to come, to be kind to yourself as you navigate the time moving forward from this.

Elenca

Rest and recover!!!!!!!!!!!! You and your wellness are valuable and supporting that is why I pay, so you will be comfortable to create the works you want in a healthy environment. That 5000% includes caring for your body from illnesses or burnout, especially after long stretches already of having gotten to enjoy the fruits of your passion for storytelling. Please. Just. Take care of yourself.

Elenca

All good! Recover, focus on that. Thanks for the transparency.. just focus on getting well!

Recover perfect and then keep working, don't stress out, we have been having free stuff for a while, and Patreon is my(our) way to repay this, so if this means that we don't have nothing this month, I prefer having a longtime healthy creator than a few bucks in my pocket.

Health is important and even more reason Patreon does good. Anyone who is upset that your health has delayed things is a real shit popsicle. I am just glad you are on the mend. Don't push yourself. Your body is still recovering and we can wait.

Veronica Lacquement

Take your time sir and recover. We will be here for you. Like many ppl on here I don’t mind the shift and rather pay for the month than to have you overwork yourself and have Covid come back. You give us so much already so please take the time you need!

You have given me years of free content on Deviant Art. I was so excited with patron to be able to support you in some small way! Please be healthy and don’t over exert yourself for your own crazy schedule! You are allowed to be a little human once and a while!

I do patreon to support artists I like. Sure the perks are great, but I'm supporting them so they can live doing what they love. You got sick with a pandemic that hit the entire world, that's hardly your fault! Take it easy, get healthy. Get updates out whenever you have the energy for it. Your health is far more important than your schedule!

Sheri Spangenberg

Do what you need to recover. We'll still be here 😸

a lannister and sejic always repays their debts. yes, stab that wonderful comic content into my eyes. In all seriousness, take your time to recover, i definitely will be continuing my subscription...”patroning”? throughout, you’re always very reliable and it’s always worth it!

Candace Lee

Health comes first, and I think most of us who support you here want to see you at your best. So go, rest, recuperate, and create forth when able to. We'll wait and support you. Just know that if you try to pull a Sam on us, all of us Bernie's will kick your ass :P

Saturday Morning Renders

Get well, that is all you need to focus on

Stay on the mend dude your health is more important than one month of updates much love my guy 🤘🏻🤘🏻

Please do what you have to do to feel better. I am happy knowing I have a tiny part in making one of my favorite artists life easier. The updates are really just bonuses. COVID is no joke, please take care of yourself first.

.....pause my patronage? I think not. Just for that, I'm jumping up to the next tier......:p Take all the time you need - Covid is nasty stuff yo. Gotta take care of yourself!

your health is way more important then the comics. That said, I am glad you keep us updated on how you are doing. As longs as I know your hanging in there and figuring things out I don't mind waiting around for more fabulous comics.

I thinks it's sad you need to apologise so much because you were sick. It's not something you chose, it's not your fault. I (and many others) will not mind not getting an update because of something like this. We're your supporters, not your masters. Take good care of yourself, recover and be at ease, we can wait and understand. <3

I absolutely have no problem waiting for you to recover and feel better. I’m just glad you’re on the mend, and I look forward to all the fun comic content you have planned.

What everyone else has said. Feel better and can't wait for more of your amazing content.

Please, just take your time, and beat he shit out of that virus! We'll wait and be happy to support you <3

Oh pu-LEASE! Noone here counts pages! We're happy you exist and create all this wonderful stuff, and usually at a breathtaking rate - so, good, we have a bit of time to take a breath again, and we are more than happy if you take some more time to make sure your breathing is fine as well!! Because that's something we count (on): That you take good care of yourself, good sir, so you get really, really old in a healthy way, so you can deal us many more of your awesome comic pages!!!

Death of the Endless

Nah. I'm good. You always give good content.

Song W Eretson

Excited to see what we get in the future moments, nothing but trust in your ability to deliver. Feel better!

Jordi

Dude chill! Your health comes first and we are happy to get nothing this month if it means you are healthy, it can only be a good thing for you and us!

Fionn

Don’t sweat it, just feel better!

Jon F

Take as much time as you need to get better. I don't care how long it takes for another update. Your health is the most important thing.

CharlieRam

Dude - you had COVID... just get better and call it good.

GrumpyLabRat

You are all good, it would be a dick move to pause because you got the covid. I get way more than my money's worth every month. Rest up we'll be fine!

Frank Lanza Jr

Stjepan, your art is wonderful and your commitment is admirable, but please take care of yourself! Health comes first. I'll keep supporting you, update or no!

Dina Ara Fulconis

Just glad you are feeling better! You take are you and the family!!!

Gamer Dad

Are you kidding me? I'm not pausing shit! Take care of yourself, get well and don't stress over this. We all love your stories and how you approaching them and 6 bucks a month is a steal for all these amazing stuff you are doing. And thank you very much for your work, it means world to me and, I'm sure, to many others!

Mika

Most important thing is that you feel better soon!

Please add a $12 tier which allows the rootin' tootin' bonus of knowing you're taking it easy and being kind to yourself? We all support you in your recovery. 💖 Take all the time you need, Covid is a nasty son of a b and being good to yourself now will pay off in the long run. We'll still be here, don't you worry. Sending love and well wishes to both you and Linda. Now go watch some cartoons and nap, please. 💖

By the looks of the overwhelmingly positive comments. My reaction is not unique. YOU TAKE CARE OF YOU. We will be here to encourage and support your content. Please recover responsibly and do not stress about work until you are in a healthy state for work. ❤️

Shauday Smith

We always support you, and are just glad you're starting to feel better!

Cole Conley

Don't worry. You could be dead from covid. But you are alive. That's all that matters. I hope you feel better soon. Thanks for your art 💖

No worries at all, take care of yourself!

jukehero461

dude. get better. would never pause for this. thanks anyway for being always thinking about others <3

Liz Denocte

Won't be pausing. Glad you're starting to feel better!

No stress needed. Recover and you’ll be back to it soon. You’re stories are at a quality rarely found so I treasure them. They are well worth well more than $6 a month so no worries.

Matthew Rice

Bumped up to $6 tier. You're worth it!

Kay Theriault

There is no debt that needs to be paid. You are good, sir! :)

BoxOfficeJack

Dude, will you please chill!! I know this is not a regular job, but you'd still get your paycheck if you'd been down for a few days, this is no different. It would also be totes fine if you took a week or two out for vacation or similar. So please. Lie down, get well, take care of yourself. Don't you even think about working until you're back on your feet. We don't want smut that's been coughed on, anyway 😝

Stjepan, wer'e not going to love your work less just because Covid got you, and you were out of order, in a manner of speaking. So get well, and do not worry about us. If any patron here doesn't understand, f*** him! We're here because we love your work (and Linda's, for the matter). I do hope to enjoy your art for many years to come. So, look after you, get well, and DO NOT WORRY! Believe me, I speak from experience: your health is the most precious thing in your life! (And Linda, obviously) 😉

Norbert Gartus

I get way, way more than $6 of value from this Patreon each month. Seriously, give yourself a break, you deserve it.

Kimberly Raum

Dude. You caught covid. This shit brought the world to its knees. Take a week, take a month and get better. Stay in bed and play video games. Read. Sketch. Nap. Drink water. Don't worry about us. We'll be here when you get back.

Shoop83

Dude health comes first simple as, would much rather you look after yourself then over work and push yourself.

Robyn Salter

Take the time you need to recover

Steven Walkinshaw

Get better. The ammount of content you produce is crazie we can survive an off month

Kyle Voltti

Don't push yourself be well first! Your works all are awesome, so they worth waiting

Csillagfürt

Wow... Please put your health first!! Dont stress out about comic pages... Hope you get well soon (not bc that means more comic pages, but because i want you to feel better! :)) )

Mary

I'm with everyone else on this: please don't overwork yourself and rest as much as you need to. Covid effects everyone differently and I personally would rather you not overdo it. Thanks for keeping us in the loop! :)

Razzek

Dude, take care of yourself. Get better. We’re here for you, whatever you need to do.

C. A. Bridges

take your time to heal yourself! My brother had covid till 2 days ago, so I completly understand! take care and I'll support anyways because I love too much your work!

Elisa Miggiano

I dont feel robbed in any way shape or form. Shut up and take my money (and get well soon <3)

Happy to support COVID recovery for my fave patreon creator. Please don't worry about making it up. We believe you.

Seacaow

I'm just glad to hear that you are feeling better. I'm not supporting you to get something every month but for the possibility you can work on whatever and whenever you want. (Even if I hope you will never stop doin Sunstone ;-p )

KeyD.

Just do you man. Focus on getting better as you pace your work!

Creative Gekko

Always pay your debts? What debts? Seems to me you have provided a couple of months worth of comics in advance. In all seriousness, Family First, Health Second. Patreon can wait. We can wait. Take care of you. Until you are well enough to return to regular updates, I will refer to the immortal words of Philip J. Fry: "Shut up and take my money."

James Weaver

Man you could be gone for the rest of the year I don't give a shit, you look after you and the wifey ofcourse! And guard that energy my man, if you need to recharge that's totally cool! You're only human! (Even if like, one of the coolest and epic ones walking this clump of space rock) Get better soon, much love to you both! ❤

Shaunni Vanhille

Take care of yourself and let us know if you need anything from us!

Dustin Batson

Take care of yourself first & foremost. For my part, I'm happy to wait. Just do what you can & be healthy–you give tremendous value for our subscription tiers so it all comes out in the wash. Wishing you a full recovery.

Wow. You are going above and beyond. You produce so much amazing content. I can’t hardly believe you are putting anything out this month with the COVID. (And I would have paid happily). A request, if you do ever feel the need to pause Patreon, think about providing a paypal/venmo/etc link to support you. You are beyond good for it. Thank you!

Jeremy

Wow. I hope no one considers pausing or canceling the subscription because you had a severe illness. 😳 All the best and a full recovery!

Crystal

All good! Take care! <3

Amalija Vitezovic

TAKE YOUR TIME! XO

Soushiyo

Take. my. Money. heal up. Rest. We will be fine. Do not let JollyJack steal your thumbs again.

e-reptile disfunction

This! I agree 10000%

NoNameC

One of our favorite content creators got sick. We're not worried about updates, we're just glad you're recovering <3 We'll happily support you while you get back your strength and energy

kurthl33t

100% support your decision here.

Lee

You are allowed to take time to recover. For me it's 100% ok even if you didn't "pay back" the pages. Get healthy, rest and work when you feel good.

You had, COVID. It's ok. We understand. 💖

Saraphina

Don't worry about us, take care of yourself! We're all cool with you taking time off to get some rest.

Limb Legion

Repay me with fully recovering, dude. I can wait. And my tier money is well spent no matter what you do that month. Take care!

Just get better! Rest as you need to, We'll be here.

It's all good. Just get better. I'm not worried about the money. You give us so much already.

Pat

Speaking as a small-time subscriber — listen to all these good people! Take your time, get well, and do the work to a standard that satisfies you. You’re a true artist and the world can wait — anticipation never killed anyone.

Many of the others have said it better, but please take your time to recover and don‘t put yourself under stress while recovering 👍

Carsten Immel

Stay safe, stay healthy. I'm paying for the high quality and the fact that no one else is doing the stuff you are. That matters far more to me than the timing.

Jesus man, take some sick leave and don't worry about it

PhaineOfCatz

Take care of yourself and Linda First and Foremost, we can, and will wait, for you to be back on your game, get well, no matter how long it takes.

Nimrod009

Dude, don't worry. Gets in the way of getting well. :)

Don't worry about the update at all! Rest, recover, return to a pace of making comics that is healthy and sustainable for you, once you're on your feet again. You've provided such long, extensive monthly comic updates so often, instead of creating a backlog for slower months, and it's super appreciated. In return, we absolutely owe you time off in my opinion. And anyone who disagrees can pause their pledge, after all. Get well soon!

Please don't rush yourself. Covid is no joke. We're not going anywhere. It's much better for you to take the time you need now than to overdo it and make things worse. We'll wait :)

Kristin Bomba

All I read here is that you care too much about your readers. Thanks

Anama-chan

Please take care of yourself, first and foremost!

I'm glad you're doing a bit better. Just chill and pick your way back to wellness. After what's been going on, this is more than fair.

Chris Scott

Will always have your back, Stjepan! You're my fave comic artist, so I don't care about perks - I care about seeing your work whenever you're ready to make/show it!

Mona Popović

Wishing you a quick, easy and full recovery. Personally feel this is exactly the time to support an artist when something like this hits. I hope you can rest properly.

Josephine Baird

Take care and dont worry

Don't worry. You don't owe us anything! You give us so much content - more than any other comic artist I support/have supported. You don't need to "catch up" in my opinion. Also, it's not like you charge 50 quid per month. 6 dollars is very little for the content you provide, so I wouldn't mind if you took a whole month off. You deserve good health and rest.

NoNameC

I'm probably not the only one in thinking that shit happens and your health is a lot more important than content. For me, this platform is to support the artists that I love, with or without additional content.

Yes exactly! I feel the same way

NoNameC

Don't worry. Please don't exhaust yourself. It is way more important to recover. Take care of you. I am glad to hear that you are getting better.

Kerstin Losem

Take care, rest up, and stay safe: my patronage isn’t going anywhere!

Personally, I think you've delivered much more in the past than I paid, so there's absolutely no reason to break a sweat here - well, other than that $%#@*! virus; and I'll even more gladly pay this month if you show the damn thing who's boss... :P

Leak

Big difference between lazily not doing the month promised and medically unable to. One of which I will gladly continue supporting to make sure you have the ability to get through a rough month.

kinglonewolf

For me it doesn't matter that you aren't pausing it. I actually prefer it like this. For all the amazing work you do one or months like this don't matter. Just rest a bit and get better soon, that's the most important thing. 😊

GhostPhil

Rest up. You can't draw us these awesome works if you're passed out from exhaustion. I'll still be supporting you.

Jason

Take your time and recover! Don’t worry we will be here when you wake up ready to continue this amazing journey with you!

Jeff

Don't even worry about this month! I hope you rest and feel better, and I am happy to keep my subscription up while you recover -- everyone deserves time to rest and heal!

You always provide so much every month. Don't feel pressured when your health says otherwise. The recent novel stream alone was enough by itself for at least a month.

Your health is way more important than kinky demons. I'm just glad to hear that you're on the recovery. No need to pause anything for me here subscription wise!

Hope you're feeling a lot better now. Don't overwork yourself, we'll be here to support you no matter what. Your health comes first dude!

Keep on recovering! I can only speak for myself when I say I'm here to stay. Thank you for keeping us in the loop though.

Just rest up and get better. I'm certainly not supporting you because I'm expecting super long updates all the time just that I want to see the projects continue to bear fruit! Also you've been great at communicating whats going on which is more than I imagine others would do. Lookinf forward to updates as and when they come

Philip Leadbitter

Take your time and get your health back to 100 percent, good sir.

Kevin K

Dude, I will be very happy to support you through this. I think sick leave is a fundamental right for regularly employed people, so as your "employer" I am happy to help you out here. Hope you get back to full health soon!

Lukas Koch

As far as I am concerned, I signed up for this patreon to support you and your work. I didn't have you sign a contract that tells how many pages you MUST deliver for that; instead I appreciate the work you put in your comics, may it be 42 pages, or just 3 very well detailed ones, because the thing is, your work is a fine example of quality over quantity. (That doesn't mean that I wouldn't love to read more and more and moar!! immediately, but that's beside the point.) I think what I tried to say is, as far as I am concerned, you don't have anything to "return" or "catch up with". I throw money at you so you have the ease of mind and be able to focus on delivering the quality we always get, and if covid tells you to take 10 days off then you take ten days off, no pressure, nothing to stress about.

Adam Ladanyi

Charge it, friend, you deserve it. No need to worry. ;)

Bastion Of Tales

Rest your health first and for the update i can wait a month!

Stéphane Delancy Larnaudie

Get better Linda's husband, we can enjoy the anticipation of waiting on your genius. 💙

Glad to hear you're doing better, I'm not sweating a month of slight slowdown from your normally absurd levels of production because you were a victim of a global pandemic. Take care of yourself and ease back into things.

Ada Korman

Rest up and make it up to us when you're 100%.

EAdH

For my money (literally, in this case!), pause it, or don't, as you wish. I, at least, don't mind not getting the T6 post this month due to plague. Shit happens, and, as you plan to make it up later? Works out fine. As you noted, there've been a few months of outsized updates. I'd say you've built up a bit of a buffer, in that regard :)

Eztli Angelos

It's completely fine! You're allowed sick days too. Rest up, feel better. I would not have mind if I was charged given all the content you provide anyway <3

Tedra Boag

Oh come on, take care of yourself!

Zoltanina

Get healthy!

Vladimir Martinez

I’m sticking around. It’s not like you just decided “ eh I don’t feel like working” hope you and Linda feel better .

Erasis

Focus on your health. I suspect many of us will stick with it. That said, it is pretty considerate to give people the chance to opt out.

Jeff Cauley

Echoing everybody else - get your rest! You've over delivered for three longest already.

Don't worry about it. I think we are all clever enough to understand that Covid is not a small thing to go through, so take all the time you need to feel better !

NoiramBear

Take care of yourself and please don't stress too much! You're already spoiling us with all the great content! I'm happy your fever seems to be gone, and I hope you will get better soon! :)

Hopps

Hey man, just take care of yourself. I don't know if everyone is like me, but I'm just here to support you. I've followed your stuff for quite some time now and it was always free online (though I did buy some hardcover and stuff) so you really don't owe us anything for being sick. Considering it social security paying you during sick leave.

Duport Guillaume

I've said this to other artists and creators. I'm supporting you because I enjoy what you do and can certainly wait until it's ready. COVID-19 is a serious illness and you need to take the time to recover. I can wait and I'm certain most of your fans can do so as well

Robert McGann

No need to consider this a debt, to me all the massive updates count as an upfront and 1 month doesn't even put a dent in that

Lukas Pierce

Rest well and feel better. Love tavia the woof birb on Twitter and her girlfriend 💙❤💜💛

Thyme Paradox

Echoing everyone else—letting yourself heal is what matters most; take the time and move at the pace you need to take care of yourself!

Dude, stay healthy first and foremost. We aren't going anywhere. You give us so much, for so little. Would rather stuff take some time and you be healthy, because the alternative is to painful to consider!

Michael Gordon

Boy, go back to bed!!!!!

kristycocopop

don't stress yourself over not posting. I support you on patreon because i think you are an awesome artist no matter if you pause a month or not 😊

Nancy Kington

Make sure you look after yourself! Your health comes first. If you push yourself you may make it worse, please rest. ❤️

Lilliy Alex

Just get better, we'll stick around.

Dmitry Platonoff

I give you my money so you can become more deranged by hearing more voices in your head and enjoy the product. Don't worry, stay safe and thanks for the comunication.

You deserve the money for all you have delivered this year. Constantly over delivering. I've no doubt you'll keep delivering. I hope you and Linda are starting to feel better.

Brian Byrnes

Get some rest SS! we'll be here for you!

MAX502

Wishing you all the best in your recovery, and I'm more than happy to keep supporting while you get back out from under COVID. Take care of yourself - we'll be here ^_^

Evening

I'm entirely fine with you taking as long as you need. I was worried because the stuff is so very nasty for some folks. I'm excited about the plans and what's to come but you need, as they say in airline terms, to put your own mask on before helping others.

Darryl Brashier

I'm sure plenty of other people have said this too but take care of yourself first dude. You put out amazing amounts of quality content. I highly doubt anyone here will hold it against you for taking down time from catching covid

Roxxi Horror

Love you, Stjepan, but seriously, take care of yourself right now and dont worry about us. We'll be here waiting patiently and cheering for you to get better

Jack Archer

You more than earn my patronage every month, just feel better!

Sammy Bee

I am so glad your over the fever. I as well have just broken my fever after 12 days of covid. So i know what your going through, please rest and take care of yourself. Definitely will not pause my contribution and hope that you can feel 100% soon. Looking forward to good content when your up to it. 🖤

Aleesha

Bro, you take all the time you need to recover. We'll still be waiting here with baited breath for your amazing content. The most important thing is to not stress yourself.

Sage Hammons

"my reasons are simple. i will return the comic pages i owe during april and may. (usually i'd say april and be sure of it but covid has left this lingering exhaustion on me that i just don't know how long it will last)" Pretty f-ing please don't overdo it. Long covid is a thing and you don't want to challenge it. I'm fairly certain that we all can live with a few comics missing far better than with an ailing artist.

Cifer

I'm fine with this decision and will continue to support you. You take care and get better.

Geoffrey Dowd

As everyone else is saying, dude, take your time to recover

Carlos Liera Bernal

Man, we love you. Enough said.

Sean Carter

I appreciate the heads up. I'll stick around. (Fuck covid-19.)

Jaycee Knight

Dude, stfu. You don't have to excuse yourself. You have this fucking virus that is keeping the whole world on hold. Take a break, even when it's 6 months. Get well soon <3

Frufus

Can just agree with everyone else. Health is a priority and for me for example no update does not mean no support as updates for me are always like a small gift I didn't expect (I always forget xD). Take care of yourself and get well soon!

You take care of you! We'll been fine.

Sean Young

Seriously you give so much, but please take care of yourself so you can bring of gorgeous art and stories for years to come. You also survived a pandemic level illness, please be kind to yourself.

Holly Lynn Walker

Are you kidding Stjepan!? Take care of yourself and don't stress about us. We'll be here! <3

Costanza Bertani

Absolutely will continue to support you. Glad to hear you are on the mend. All the best! Look forward to your uploads when you can.

Please take your time and get some rest and healing in! I rather keep enjoying your creations for a long time to come than getting something now and have you feel burnout and unwell.

Burcu Yücesoy

It's good to know that you're recovering! I'm really looking forward to see what you have in store for us 😁👌 any idea when the next Queen and the Woodborn might be?

Fanny Juillard

im spending all my best wishes, i hope u feel better. please take time to rest if you need it

Amber cartier-page

Stay healthy! I’m sure I can speak for most people and say we’ll still be here when you’re fighting fit!

Continue to get well. Vigil and Woodborn are fantastic and more than worth the wait! So glad you are making healthy progress!

trevor isle

Please! You take care of yourself and do what you need, and at the same time, take my damn money! I tell everyone I feel like I'm underpaying you for all your patreon offers at only six bucks. Take the money and RUN! Please

Don Walsh
