This is the #1 thing that pisses me off about people and "donations".
#1 You don't NEED a WACOM tablet, if you are that hurt for bills/food/whatever you don't NEED something as frivoulous as this.
#2 Oh so you want people to pay for your husband's Paypal/EBay mistake, I can put into words the anger I have. You want people to PAY for YOUR mistakes. The sad fact is that fanpeople will.

I left a not on the chatbox that'll be erased:
I've read most of the comics here for a while, even bought a compilation of some. But looking at what you need donations for, I have to say it's shameful. You don't NEED a computer perhipheral, others shouldn't pay for your paypal/ebay mistakes. Thus if you need to pay hospital bills or what-not you don't need tablets and to go buy stuff on ebay.


I know most people are going to jump at me and say that comics are her "livlihood" but really, pay your damn medical bills first and cut back on things you don't immediately need...oh and GO GET A REAL JOB! Stop relying on handouts from people because you are too lazy to get off your ass and WORK. Yes being a comic artist is work, but that's only if a studio is paying you and I don't see that. And if your being paid, then BUDGET!!!

I can overlook the people who cryout for donations to pay for server hosting, but they too grate on my nerves. You did it out of your goodness then stop begging.

I could beg for donations because I NEEDED that Nintendo DS, or the latest greatest WACOM tablet. But, I am a smart, decent person that can do things for myself.

Eat stuff......

i hate those fans who shower their fave artists with everything they want and need. if they need a vidio game the'll buy it for them, if they need a new or a wacom, or photoshop the'll buy it.
or money for being scamed.


if they need money for food, vet bills, med bills, or anything, they get it.
makes me feel almost good for living at home like i were 8.

so who is this person? they do comic book illustrations professionaly? its not a good paying job huh? I'm not sure whats really going on.

She does Shivae, Alien Dice and a mess of others. I think he works and she leeches off of him and lives off donations from fans...
