It feels good to be back. :)

And we have a new whirlwind character! Meet James. James never skips arm day. Or an opportunity to bust one's balls.

I'm aiming to have an average of three new pages of Elephant Town done every Monday for you, fewer when they're complicated, more when they're easy.

If you're a paying patron at any level, you'll keep seeing them!

Right now the lowest tier is $2/month ($22.80 if you join annually!), but I'm "unpublishing" this tier on FRIDAY. Which means, if you're already in the $2 tier (or if you join it before Friday), hooray, you're locked in and will continue to see all the comics I make! Nothing will change for you. It'll just become a secret tier that no one else can join after Friday.

The new low tier for new members after this week will be $3/month because, well, everything got expensive and my kale plants all died so I need money for kale. This Patreon is mostly for kale money. If you know someone who's wanted to buy me kale for awhile, nudge them to join the $2 tier this week so they don't miss out on feeding me kale!!

Thank you for all the kale you've contributed to my body over the years, Patreon pals!

Happy it's back.... ☺️ Like the new character. The earring looks cool. It reminds me of revolutionary girl utena Prince Akio, for some reason. Can't wait to see what happens next

I had somehow not noticed before how pointy Kris's nose is. :^ )

Welcome back Elephant Town! My deepest condolences on your Kale. I haven't grown any before (though I've done other dark leafy greens), but it's such a staple in my diet (almost every day) that I really need to have a go and plant some. As a vego, I've happy I've got good iron levels each year, and gave some credit to the Kale, but also assumed the multivitamins were doing the heavy lifting. However I recently had reason to examine the iron quantity in the multi's and there's less than 1 mg, so I guess it's mainly the Kale (with assist from a few other iron-rich veg and all the vit C loaded things that help absorption). I have some envy of James' arms, and look forward to getting to know them, but feel they should probably know better than shaming someone for their clothing choices, even if I also rarely wear dresses and 'may' feel less myself when I do. Perhaps there's some history there that will become apparent tho?

YAAAAAAAAYYYYYY NEW ELEPHANT TOOOWWWWWNNNNNNNNNN!!!!!!!!!!

RIP KALE I wish there were a way to keep tiers BUT ALSO adjust it for inflation, since I tried to re-up a limited sub on another Patreon and it ended up kicking me out due to someone else had called shenanigans on some error on Patreon's end and ended up getting in as #21 out of 20, so... I kicked myself out >=( (luckily, it's a friend's Patreon, so he just counted me as part of the tier anyway, haha CONNECTIONS)

Mrs

Here we go! Off to a great start!

Douglas Appelt

C'mon, Kris! You're in West Virginia; if you can't open that window, just call upon the wise yet strong Mothman to open it for you! (I'm sure they're willing to help out with things like that)

Sara Testarossa

Yay, new pages! interesting start to the chapter... More Kris struggles and new character! I'm excited!!!

Dean Reilly

I'm just assuming that Kris will find her summer clothes six months from now in a box labelled 'Kitchen' while she's looking for a crockpot.

Worst Journey Graphic Novel

Wonderful! I am in awe of how you introduce characters with a bang that renders laborious exposition unnecessary. Hollywood could take lessons from you!

"I don't care what your pronouns are this week, did you VOTE?!"

dcorsetto

Bless you, you know how absurdly difficult it is to intro a character in a way that feels natural and covers as many bases as possible! I spend a lot of time staring at a page full of scribbled out dialogue!

dcorsetto

You understand Kris on a deeper level than most.

dcorsetto

Oh lordy that's a pain in the ass! Hah, glad you're friends with the person - Patreon's not the easiest platform to navigate! (Also this is part of the reason I haven't done limited tiers - I don't want to deal with people unintentionally getting kicked out of a tier!)

dcorsetto

I looked it up, he's got a good parallel confidence to James!

dcorsetto

Ahh my fellow Kale Kween! Despite my sad endings with kale this year (and last, for that matter), it's a relatively easy plant to grow - you should try it! As someone with a similar voracity for the stuff, I'd recommend growing at least four plants, maybe six. People thought that was overkill, but when they're small you can't overharvest them (and you'll want to!). Plus you can freeze kale, so once they're big enough, there's no harm in having too much! And all I'll say about James is that they're just as flawed as all the other characters!

dcorsetto

I'm not proud to admit I had to look up the Pointer Sisters! 😅 YAAAAAY!!!

David Neale-Lorello

If it helps, I did too! I knew I always got the artists who did "I'm So Excited!" mixed up 😜

Cat Wilson

Danielle! I’ve been following your comic since Girls with Sling Shots and I just want to say your work is great. Funny and interesting! Thanks for all the hard work you put into this.

dcorsetto

And I will totally not remember for next time, either!! Bless the Internet (sometimes)!

dcorsetto

Aw Cat, thank you!! Glad you found me over here! ❤️

GamerPrincessXI

Soooo, I got confused lol. His name is Prince Dios but his pseudo name is Aiko. I liked the anime regardless. Glad to see the chapters are back. How many do you plan to do.

dcorsetto

Oooh I see that one, too. :) We're about halfway through the book, so it'll probably wrap up in a little less than 40 chapters!

GamerPrincessXI

Cool. My webcomic has bonus chapters. I got the idea from a webcomic I use to read eons ago. My bonus chapters are a lot more detailed than the official chapters because I initially was gonna animate them but I don't have the time off that I needed to do that from my irl job. The bonus chapters are canon btw, lol.

dcorsetto

Ohh interesting idea, I like that!

GamerPrincessXI

Thanks I got the detailed idea from Family Guy, believe it or not. The early seasons were great but the later seasons... I think around seasons 13 and onward developed more details and shading, idk. I haven't watched it in about 4 years. Lol.

Amy Crook

Huzzah, new Elephant Town! I sympathize with "wear what you can find that's probably clean" as an issue when people who will razz you are around.

Siobhan

I am excited and impressed by how much I already want to roll my eyes at James. Definitely a character introduction that evokes strong feelings :) They are, like everyone else, a person, with all that includes.

Minzoku Bokumetsu

yeah, I prolly could do without the tier item, but it feels like I've been part of it so long, I actually missed it when I didn't get a HAND-ILLUSTRATED postcard the FIRST time I got kicked out trying to do the same trick (you's think I would've learned, haha)

Minzoku Bokumetsu

I got lucky repledging since someone coincidentally dropped out (prolly person #21) but no luck the second time 🤷 but $20 is a STEAL, I had to pay more!!

Filiz Karahasan

Oh, I like James! 😂 The royal we is definitly something to consider...

Filiz Karahasan

Rereading I wondered about the layout of the house. Do you plan on adding a floorplan somewhat in the future? Maybe in the book to come? I would really love that!

Margaret Lutz

To be fair, $2 is very nearly 3 CAD right now (cries in gets paid in canadian dollars)
