Animals' Funny, part 2. (Patreon)

Sorry I've been AWOL for the last week - me and my good wife had to hie to Utah to help bury her little brother, Paul. Have I ever mentioned I hate cancer? But yeah, another funeral, with two days of driving on each end.

*Sigh* So this month's "take" will be short - just when I can least afford it, of course. It's like Fate doesn't even CARE about my budget.

But it seems I'd better get used to less cash at the end of the month - Patreon just announced that they're gonna give in to Apple's demand that all subscriptions be per-month, after all. AAARGH! They're gonna change all per-post subscriptions over to per-month on February 1st, and fuck what we artists want. So I can only beg of my fans, please, PLEASE do NOT sign up for my page through any Apple app. They take a HUGE percentage of pledges - most of your money would go to Apple, not me. Apple is already filthy rich, while I'm scrambling to cover my bills. I need your much appreciated contributions a LOT more than they do!

I guess that when they ask, you should make your monthly pledge roughly the same amount as you're usually charged for subscribing to my page at the end of the month? In return, I pledge to do my damndest to post as often as I have been doing under the per-post system. Traci's and my parents are now both gone, and her remaining siblings seem healthy, so gods willing, I should be taking fewer breaks for funerals in 2026.
