Elephant Town Page Zero
Added 2020-05-01 06:19:42 +0000 UTCElephant Town officially starts Monday!! (Does "Page Zero" count as an update?!)
Have you ever thought about something SO HARD you assume you've already told everyone else around you? That's what I've been doing. But I don't think I've told you guys about all of this! So, here's an overview:
Elephant Town takes place in my little town, Shepherdstown, West Virginia, and follows four characters who don't know each other. And a cat. And maybe an elephant? I can't say.
This is going to be a long graphic novel, so it'll update every Monday in chunks of 2-5 pages (so that none of the characters are cut off mid-conversation at the end of an update, because that'd be annoying).
I've replaced the $1 tier with a $2 tier as an entry tier to read the new comic, but due to, y'know, EVERYTHING, I'm posting the first four chapters for free, because... well honestly, because I wanted to anyway. They'll be public posts, which means you can even share them with people who aren't on Patreon.
So for the time being, just consider the $2 tier sort of a "suggested donation" for reading the comic.
If you're a $1 patron, don't worry, you'll still get everything you were getting before! (Plus Elephant Town for several months!) Nothing changes for you. If you'd like to up your pledge, awesome, but don't feel obligated.
The $3 tier will still be asked weird-ass questions to vote on (hopefully a lot more of them, now that I'm drawing the pages!) and $5 tier will still get sneak peeks and figure drawings. In fact, I'll be showing the $5 tier a different version of the page above sometime tomorrow.
Oh! Lest I forget: www.elephant.town will bring you directly to the "Elephant Town" tag so you can find the latest post. ETA: someday, when it decides to work!
I haven't stayed up working all day through 2 am in a long time! It feels weirdly familiar. And exciting. And sleepy. Looking forward to getting back into this making-comics-all-the-time lifestyle. I hope you enjoy it, too. :)

2020-05-01 16:20:46 +0000 UTCYes!! Although I feel like I've barely gotten any substantial work done on it during that time... but then when someone asks me what it's about, the whole thing is written in my head already, all the research has been done, characters have been designed, buildings have been practiced. I guess I've done plenty. ;) Squee heard from here, thank you for explaining what that sound was! <3

2020-05-01 15:50:04 +0000 UTCYou've been an inspiration to me, Cab! I wasn't sure how well an ongoing story would go over on Patreon, but you know I love U Town. :) Thanks!

2020-05-01 15:48:22 +0000 UTCThe squee that was heard around the world! Just upped my ante. I've been existing on GWS reruns even though I've got the hardcovers, and I love your updates. Is this the book you've been working on for the past year plus?

2020-05-01 14:50:08 +0000 UTCTHANK YOU for pointing this out! I guess it takes 24 hours to reroute? Dealing with GoDaddy last night was tiny nightmare fuel before bed!

2020-05-01 11:46:48 +0000 UTCJust a minor nitpick: http://elephant.town/ currently brings you right to your patreon, but not to the "Elephant Town" tag...

2020-05-01 10:03:47 +0000 UTCJust read the mailing list announcement about a new comic and decided this would be a good time to renew my Patreon pledge (as I'm in no immediate danger of losing my income). Hope you & yours are doing fine in these crazy times!
