Hey! Just a quick little update on how things have been going. My initial plan was to run this campaign until August. This plan was concocted in February. As you may be aware, the war has changed.

In the interests of fairness and letting you budget accordingly, I'm letting you know about this before the charge at the end of the month: I am now extending the campaign to November. It's going really well and continuing to grow, so I want to keep it going, and as someone with an immune system disease, anything that lets me work from home is just a good plan right now.

I'll keep you posted about any further developments as they happen, but thank you for your continued support and I hope to continue to do right by you!

I'm a little confused, what's the purpose of doing it in "campaigns" instead of just... having a patreon? And letting it grow normally?

Because historically the page has never reached the point of a living wage and in order to get by I've had to do some other work (and stop the page temporarily since I wouldn't be able to keep up with it). My expectation setting it up earlier this year was that this would be similar so I planned to be running it for a finite time, but then the situation changed.

Cool stuff! Upping my contribution by a couple bucks for at least the rest of this campaign; it's not much but if it can help a bit in this weird time, I'm happy to do it! Slightly off-topic question that I've been meaning to ask about -- any hints as to what's going to be happening with postcards? I can imagine things have likely been massively messed up with COVID-19, and am totally fine with the situation even if the postcards have been axed for the rest of this campaign; just wondering if you've got anything you can share on this subject?

I've actually been working on the May (nominally) postcard this week! I expect to have it ready to order some time in the coming week, and then mailout is contingent on how long they take to arrive and the postage restrictions in place, since post from Ireland to most locations outside Europe and North America is still not running. At any rate, I'm holding on to a "Batch 6" of ordered comics and stuff that are mostly heading to Australia which will go out when post to that side of the world re-opens.
