This week on Evil Inc
Quick programming note! As you may already know, I’ve been creating Evil Inc as a graphic novel since January. And I’ve been posting partial-page updates twice a week. (It usually amounts to the top half of the page on Tuesday and the bottom half on Thursday.) For example, here’s both of last week’s comics in their full-page format.
Since today’s comic is the entire page, I won’t be posting an Evil Inc comic on Thursday. But be sure to come back to the site. I’ll have something special posted just for you!
Patreon backers at $5+ have access to a special repository of the new comic in its full-page format, and I’m being told it really holds together well!

Get rid of those ads!
About a week ago, I announced our new Patreon goal — to get rid of all third-party ads on all of my sites once our Patreon hits $4800. We were nearly $400 away from the goal at that point. Today, we’re just a touch over $200 away. We’re very close to being able to get rid of all third-party ads on all of my websites — including Evil Inc, Courting Disaster, Phables, Arch Bros and Guigar.com.
You can help make that happen for as little as $1 a month. Here’s a look at our possible future. (Click here for a larger version)
What’s in it for you?
There are a number of benefits. First off, the site will become instantly more appealing and it will load faster. There will be less to distract you from the good stuff. And, best of all, we reduce our risk of malicious advertising to zero. Now, I want to make sure I communicate this clearly. I started Evil Inc in 2005. I’ve been alerted to malicious ads being delivered through a third-party ad network maybe twice during that time. (You can read about one of those times on Webcomics.com.) Usually, when it happens, my inbox fills up with concerned readers, and I immediately disable the ad network delivering the malicious ad. It’s not something that happens often. However, I’m concerned that, as ad revenue recedes across the Web, these instances may begin to rise. And I’ll be all-too-happy to be able to wash my hands of it completely.
Plus, you’ll get all sorts of rewards for your pledge. Check out the Patreon page. Even at the lowest level, you’re getting advance postings of the Evil Inc comics, as well as behind-the-scenes stuff, access codes, discounts and all sorts of other great offerings. Heck, my Patreon people were the first ones to find out about the free-shipping Early Bird specials on my recent Kickstarter, and they were able to swoop in as soon as the campaign launched and secure theirs.
If you’re going to be a backer, I’m going to do my best to make that experience a beneficial one.
One dollar a month
That’s all it takes. You sign up on Patreon’s secure server. You can pledge at any level, but, honestly, we can easily get there with $1- and $5- pledges. You’d be amazed at how quickly that adds up. Your credit card or debit card gets charged at the beginning of every month. It’s a dollar. You’re not even likely to notice it.
But I’ll notice it. And when you come to an ad-free Evil Inc, you’ll notice it.
And, best of all, there are no strings attached. If you decide that you don’t want to pledge any longer — or if you want to pledge at a different level — you can make that change with the click of a button. You’re never locked into anything.
