Notices by War and Peas 🧿 (warandpeas@mastodon.social), page 5

So here we are on Patreon, asking our actual fans to bridge the gap between "viral content" and "paying rent." Because in this rigged game, the only reliable currency left is people who genuinely give a damn about creators surviving.

You scroll past these comics to escape stress, but on the other side, creators are drowning in it. Platforms profit from our work, but we see none of it. Patreon is the difference between creating out of love and creating out of desperation.

If you’ve ever laughed, smiled, or felt less alone because of our comics, know this: your support means the world. Thank you for being part of the story.

Like most artists on the internet, we're trapped in a cycle of creating content for free while hoping someone eventually notices we're slowly selling off furniture to buy art supplies.

If you've enjoyed our comic enough to read to the end of this sentence, consider supporting us on Patreon.

You'll get exclusive content featuring characters making even worse life choices than we do: https://www.patreon.com/join/warandpeas

Did you know that reading makes you 53% more attractive to your significant other? And also that laughing and a sense of humor makes you 47% more appealing to potential mates?

With "Hi, Earth" we have the perfect book that makes you 100% more sexy! It’s a funny book about our favorite planet including crisis, despair and hope.

The internet loves free stuff, but free for you often means unpaid for creators. Webcomics are the result of hours, sometimes days, of labor. Patreon is what bridges the gap between „free“ and „fair.“ By supporting us, you’re keeping this wild, weird thing alive.

Thank you for being part of it.

We know constant plugs are annoying but please try taking a different perspective here: Although literally millions of people read our comics weekly, it’s still difficult for us as creators to make a living. We don’t get any money directly from Instagram or any other platform we post on.

If we wouldn’t have a Patreon page, we’d have to flip burgers and couldn’t make comics at all.

So if you read this or the plug of any other artist, please be kind. Thank you!

Now that half the year is over and the days are getting shorter again, here are the best comics of the year (so far!)

Summoning inner monologue

Socks on or socks off?

Slow Food 🐌

After over a decade of making this webcomic, we've learned two things:
One, people love reading free content. Two, our creditors don't accept exposure as payment, despite our compelling arguments.

Our Patreon supporters get early access, behind-the-scenes content, and the quiet satisfaction of knowing they're keeping us just functional enough to continue drawing instead of getting normal jobs.

Missed Chance

Every month, we craft you a real letter. Not an email. A letter. The kind that arrives between your electric bill and dentist reminders, except this one contains an exclusive poem, holographic sticker, and surprise goodie (yes, we once sent a witch-on-skateboard air freshener).

It's the kind of thing that makes you pause at your mailbox, feeling briefly like the main character of your own life instead of just someone scrolling through other people's curated breakfast photos.

Half the world’s population lives in countries spending more on debt interest than on health. 2.1 billion live in countries spending more on debt than education. This is the cost of a broken financial system.

30 top economists—brought together by the Catholic Church—have laid out what must change to establish a fairer system. Their report is out today.

Let’s hope leaders act at #FfD4

Meow?

Awoo!

Millions of people see our work every week, yet the system’s set up so we earn nothing from that. Creativity becomes this tightrope walk – balance your passion or fall into burnout. Patreon isn’t just support; it’s balance, sanity, sustainability.

By helping, you ensure that our niche can continue to exist. And for that, we can’t thank you enough.
