A few years ago the Fort Familyroom comic strip wasn’t doing very well, and I decided to post a comic with cartoon nudity in it. I posted it on social media with a “censored” image over the naughty bits, and put the uncensored image on Patreon. I got a subscriber out of it.
I did something like this every now and again with the same results. I have to be honest, I didn’t feel right doing this. It seemed like an unsavory way to get patrons, and the comics with the nudity in them were not very funny. I was just coming up with excuses to put boobies in my cartoons.
Recently, I have been writing proper jokes for all my comics, and throwing in the nudity to make the strips funnier. I feel good about what I’m doing now because my work is better. Art is art!
