Made it through (Patreon)

Hello Howlerinhxs!
Your friendly neighborhood Patreon Guy Carl here letting you know that I have gotten through all the @shit_escalates Instagram follow requests submitted through the proper channels. If you did *not* send me a direct message here on Patreon (it's under the Chats tab) you have likely *not* been approved. If you received a direct message from me saying that you have been, you're in good shape.

What is the benefit of following @shit_escalates on Instagram?
Occasional previews of merch drops and whimsy injections from Joel Daniel Phillips, Master Artificer, President, CEO, and Dictator for Life of Lit Escalates.

Do I need to follow the @shit_escalates account to get my Patreon Bennies?
Nope! Just being a paid member in good standing here will do you nicely for that purpose.

Are you saying that Pierce Himself doesn't run this Patreon?
That's a bit of a left-fielder, but yes. It is I, Carl Antonowicz, CatBackpack, the unshaven, bedraggled, cartoonist bon vivant who operates this account! Pleased to meet you officially, cousin.

When is Red God coming out?
Stop asking.

Anyway, thanks so much for all your support, babies. We have so many sublime delights to share with you in the coming months.
