WEIRD BUT IMPORTANT NOTE re: PATREON (10/16/24):

Beginning November 2024, people using the Apple iOS version of the Patreon app to sign up for people's pages will be subject to a 30% surcharge (per payment!!), forced by Apple. Apple is also singlehandedly fu***ng up Patreon's payment systems, causing much dismay. Please, if possible, DO NOT sign up for my Patreon page (or anyone else's!) via the Apple app. Instead, simply use your browser to sign up via the Patreon website. This will save me (and you) a huge pain in the ass as well as a decent amount of money.

Current subscribers' payments will not be affected. This change will only affect new Patrons who sign up using the Apple Patreon app.

Thank you!

One thing I like is when the new King-Cat's done, and in the file folder are all these teensy-weensy versions of the pages.

24/06/2024

Well, it looks like I just finished King-Cat 83 after a looooong gestation. Have to run through the files another time or two and look for any dropouts, specks, typos, major errors, and then I'll get it ready for the printer!

Hey everyone--

I'm getting ready to do a short run of custom-sized King-Cat Logo tee-shirts... So if you want something special -- a kid's size, a blue woman's size, an XXL, an olive-green shirt, etc, etc -- please drop me a line. I'll be taking custom orders for the next week or so and then I'll send it all to the printer.

These will cost about $30 postpaid in the USA; other countries write for details! Sorry about the price hike, but my cost on these has DOUBLED since COVID. Please note sizes above XL have an additional surcharge from the shirt supplier (a couple bucks more).

If you just want a plain old S through XL black on white or cream on grey, please visit the Spit and a Half Distro site (LINKOLN BAYOU)...

Questions, drop me a line --

Thank you!
