Changes to this place + the upcoming Final Gacha!
Added 2025-08-26 17:05:54 +0000 UTCHey y'all! If you've been observing with a particular type of hawk-eyed keenness, you might have noticed that I've been messing around in the wires of this Patreon. I've changed the tiers, which now look like this:


Don't worry -- If you signed up before I changed the tiers to this, even if you're paying below $5/mo, you are at that all access The Comics, The Cringe & The Old Cringe tier!!
I've also organized everything into neat collections, which now look like this:

I believe those can be found here.
(If you're looking to revisit EDEN or You Are the Guy btw, it's an excellent time now that it's all organized like that)
And I've pretty much stopped doing the gacha, but have instead been hitting y'all with bonus panels for the comics I normally post and side posts.
This has all been an effort to make a more sustainable, consistent, and stable Patreon where I can deliver bonus stuff to y'all with greater frequency, and I hope you've been enjoying it -- I, of course, welcome any feedback. :]
But getting back to an earlier statement, I HAVE stopped doing the gacha. There' no high brow reason for that, I'm just bored of it. It has certainly improved since it first began, but feels like it's just kinda not going anywhere. I'm sorry for breaking my promise to y'all to deliver those consistently.
The Final Gacha 🔮
Later today, I will be making a big post with every single single gacha. I think there's north of 100, and you'll get to see each and every one of them, in order of rarity. I wanna show that to y'all as a big goodbye to that feature of the Shen Comix Patreon.
The Future of the Gacha Tier(s)
There are currently 41 members at the $8.79 Nice + Gacha tier, which has personal gacha delivery as a benefit, and 9 members at the $7.07 Shen Tries to Explain tier, which also has personal gacha delivery as a benefit. It's gonna sting a bit, but I think the only fair solution is to drop those tiers down to $5, effectively integrating them into the current tier system. If you want to pay more, you can manually adjust your pledge, but I don't want to force people in those tiers to pay more for no reason.
Thank you all for your support of my work!! :D

2025-08-29 22:41:49 +0000 UTCRevisiting it is not COMPLETELY out of the question but tbh i'd need some way to streamline the art a little bit, because I would spend a whole day on one of those updates and I just can't do that :/

2025-08-26 18:58:39 +0000 UTCDo you ever intend to continue Eden? I ended up re-reading it today because of this post and I remembered how fun it was lol.

2025-08-26 18:30:43 +0000 UTCAny direction that 1.) continues to get us high quality art and humor for our monthly price and 2.) allows you to provide said art and humor in a more personally sustainable, manageable way is a great direction to go IMHO!

2025-08-26 18:21:54 +0000 UTCi think that's the type of thing where the length of the story can exponentially increase the amount of work i'd have to do (due to branching possibilities), but I think it might be fun to do a choose-your-own-adventure book like that, but I guess it's not a top priority rn. i appreciate your interest! :D

2025-08-26 17:18:37 +0000 UTCThe new tiers make sense. Would you ever consider publishing Eden as a book with the other pathways in to show what may have happened? It is my favourite thing you’ve done.
