Surprise. I should've made this post a bit ago but I thought I could maybe squeeze the last two pages in this week but my eyes kinda gave out on me. I'm gonna figure out a time and way to get them checked soon. Hopefully.

So I was planning on taking a pause in October (I still might too. Not sure yet.) to catch up on a lot of IRL stuff I've been letting slide. You'd think I'd have time but all the time I spend not drawing OOTB is spent worrying about not drawing OOTB and I go catatonic. It's a whole thing. But anyway all that to say, I'll be pausing payments for next month and be posting this month's two pages in the next few days. I always hate doing it but sometimes you just gotta. Sorry about that.

You're good, Ari, comics are hard work and your health, rest and peace of mind come first. Take all the time you need, and thank you!

Your health will always matter more than an update. I'll send all the positive vibes I've got and wish for the answers you seek and healing 🙏

Take care Ari. Btw is this a pause for this account only or is OrionsJockstrap also paused?

Hey I don't mind if you don't pause my payment. I don't think of Patreon as like an equivalent exchange kind of thing. More like an older usage of the word "patron" where someone would provide an artist or musician a wage so that said person could be free to hone their craft. Seeing or hearing the artist's creations was the buy in, but never one a certain timeline.

Take the time you need, I've been concerned in the past that Patre1 business model could drive creators to burnout.

Well said, JustEki. Ari, if it's even possible to NOT pause individual payments, I'd like for mine to continue as well. I consider the membership subscription fee more like a monthly contribution to a very worthy cause. As a fellow creator, I know the value in the breaks that are just fcking necessary sometimes (because life, man.) They don't in any way diminish the value of your work that I enjoyed for free for far too long before finally joining here, and that's something I'm happy to pay for every month. I hope this time away is everything you need it to be. I can't wait to see what you create upon your return.

You know we care about ya bud. you do what you got to do and keep this as a labor of love rather than just a labor.

Yeah for me that works as well! But if you feel guilty for keeping payments during a month when you're not "producing" (even if you indeed are because making a comic is more than just sitting and drawing), maybe you could pause payments only on October since you plan to deliver two pages during this month 😉✨

It's more for my peace of mind. I know not everyone sees it as an equivalent exchange but some do. Like, I know it's only a dollar a month for most people but I dunno it helps me stay on task. Also, thank you all of you.
