Hi, my name is Tracy Butler
and I'm the creator of Lackadaisy
a web comic about a clowder of cats of questionable character
attempting to run an underground speakeasy
and doing an often spectacularly bad job of it.
Taking Place in 1920s St. Louis
the comic is a little bit gangster
a little bit history
a bit of drama
part farce
with a dash of bad poetry
a cactus friend
and a whole lot of cats.
"Why cats?" you might ask
They're the criminal masterminds of the animal world.
"Why Patreon?" you might also ask
Over the years, I've been trying to juggle comic production
with a job in the game industry
Although Lackadaisy means the world to me
I never had as much time or energy to devote to it as I really wanted to -
a frustrating situation that proved increasingly detrimental
to the comic and its update rate.
Now, I'm flipping things around
making some major life changes
in hopes that Lackadaisy can finally be my top priority.
That's where Patreon comes in.
The more support I can garner here
the more time I can spend on doing the research
on telling the story
on getting the next book into print
making side comics
tutorials
illustrations
and even producing a real, actual card deck.
In short, the more stuff I can share more often.
Lackadaisy will always be free to read online
but patrons will have access to backstage extras
like sneak peeks of in-progress work
Q&A
and interactive live streams
If you already read Lackadaisy - thank you.
It's been an immense joy to be able to share it.
And if you have the means and desire to pitch in here
it'd mean more to me and my criminal masterminds
than I can put into words.
Thank you.
