We're glad to be back with some pages to show! Pages from earlier this month were some large crowd pics that didn't look so great in freebie resolution. But here we see that Chuck has made a good(?) impression! It seems his natural talent is far more than some can believe!
THIS IS A PREVIEW! TO SEE THE FULL COMIC, PLEASE CONSIDER SUBSCRIBING TO OUR PATREON, you'll see 105 pages your first month for just $3! and can immediately buy additional releases for $3 per release up to August 2017's releases. (More details below)
For $36 in the first month you'll fast-track the second year of the comic and see pages 106-215! Releases from September 2017 onward are limited to one per month (This page is from our June 2018 releases)
-------------------------------------------------- NEWS FEED We're finally testing direct payment in a larger group on another project hosted on PixArmor! Sadly the company we were using just started a merger and we need to wait for them to review policy...
We've launched our new $15+ rewards! Two exclusive pin-ups every month, voted for and shaped by our $15+ users and limited to that month's VIP supporters!
PLEASE NOTE: NEW SUPPORTERS! We've noticed that quite a few of our supporters haven't responded to the server emails to log in to their new accounts and get their content. Please remember to check your junk mail and if you don't see an email after your payment is taken and don't know why, please contact our team through direct message on Patreon, quoting your email address! We've sent out messages to individual supporters on Patreon to check that the email was sent, especially one new supporter whose email was entered incorrectly!!!
Love the comic? Want more? What you see here is now ONLY A PREVIEW of content featured on our server! See all of Milo's story exclusively via our distribution server through Patreon!
Official patrons and supporters of the comic also receive higher resolution pages! You'll get all 100 pages of the comic you see on our public galleries for free when you join up and five more! And around 12 pages a month of the story as it continues (less if they're multi-panel), every month! At nearly twice the resolution! 25 cents a page?! Not enough? Well a few dollars more ($5/Mo) will get you triple the resolution! Want an extra treat? $15 each additional month puts for other exclusive images and previews from us, on top of highest tier resolution (x5 this!). https://www.patreon.com/catastrophe
New supporters of the comic on Patreon after August 2017 have the chance to pledge as little as $3 a month to gain never-before-seen content. Each additional payment made each month fast-tracks you through the previous month's releases using our "Train car" staggered release schedule to buy as many chapters of the story as you want! Get 12, 24, or as many as 100+ pages in the first month by paying for each month's releases you've yet to see! This caps at the August 2017 release, which will then slow to month-at-a-time releases again.
You'll see all of Milo's story, no missing pages and guessing at the plot! Remember that signing up before the end of the month or the first few days means your pledge will be processed quickly to get you signed up for all the extra content! Supporters in the higher pledge amounts in $15+ VIP levels will also see two excusive adult pin-up pictures! VIPs will get to vote on the pin-up ideas every month too!
We distribute our content via a private server, remember to check your email if you are a Patreon supporter for a link to our secure distribution server at PIXarmor! If you DON'T have this server link and don't know why, please contact us via message on the pledge site!
Patrons since July 2017 will continue to receive Car #1 instant updates as soon as pages are created, your status hasn't changed nor has your early access terms of service!
This comic is a real labor of love for us all and your support is what makes it possible for us to produce it.
If you'd like to receive chapters in their completion and help support the comic, you can visit our Patreon account at https://www.patreon.com/catastrophe
Alright I have a question. Your payment model is indeed a bit confusing to me, so I'd like to confirm it, if possible.
If I got it right then paying 36$ would get me to page 215, correct? That's the max amount of pages I could get in the first month, right? And from that point onward, paying 3$ per month would get me what exactly?
I mean, this is page 335 so it will surely take a while to get there, correct?
And now my actualy question: Will it cost the same once you offer your new method of payment or will there be any changes due to Patreon not being part of it?
By the way, another very nice page.

Hi Fulgidus, Yes you have our model right, for the moment. $36 total in the first month gets you all the comic up to August 2017 (Marked on our website as release 08.2017) which is pages 1-215.
From then on $3 a month gets you the releases from the next month you're owed. So September 2017, October, etc. It can be hard to give you a specific number of "pages" because every $100 we raise funds a 2-character "panel" (for example: the page above has 3 characters and a few background ones, so would be probably about 2 panels ($200) of the funding), on average those next few months are about 12 pages a month for that $3, but since we've been increasing in popularity our "panel" (and page) counts have increased month after month too! This last month we raised enough for 25 panels, for example.
When we get a new payment method set up, we'll be assessing that cost, but likely it won't be different, no. There's some complications we want to avoid with Patreon, including that payments out of the US and EU lose over 30% of small payments in conversion and payout fees, so we have to hold the money on Patreon which isn't much use especially since they have a habit of shutting down furry pages or issuing fraudulent refunds...
There is some good news on the horizon for our "time wall" too (the one month-per-month purchase limit from last August) - we're going to be looking at moving that date forward soon so people can purchase more of the back-dated releases.
I will say, for now, we're not 100% sure of the exact details there, and that it might be open to supporters after a set amount of time too. One of the reasons for the delay was that some debit card companies were issuing no-questions-asked refund orders forcing us to pay back Patreon for a set number of months of payments, and after that'd happened a few times to us we're reluctant to make it easy for someone willing to do that to also get their hands on all our content in that time limit to distribute for free... :(
Hi Fulgidus, Yes you have our model right, for the moment. $36 total in the first month gets you all
Thanks for the information. I will wait till you have set up the new payment model since I'm not a big fan of Patreon myself so I'd like to avoid it if possible. Heheh, of course a printed version would still be my first choice.
