16-23: Hi-Res Early Access (Patreon)

Some more cameos in the center panel lol bonus points to anyone who recognizes them.

I mentioned it earlier, but I know some people only read the early access pages, so I'll talk about it again. Patreon is changing how they display patreon pledge values in an attempt to better reflect how much money creators are actually receiving through their patreon. The numbers are adjusted to account for money lost through taxes and fees, and also has some sort of system for predicting how much money will be lost through declined pledges. Because the system is new and I don't know quite how accurate it is, I'm going to continue to honor the pledge goals we've already hit, meaning basically that I'll continue to do the full rendering in each page, at least until next month. However, once the next month starts things are going to be getting a bit more strict... those who decline pledges will have their accounts removed from the patron list, and I'll be following the displayed pledge value for pledge goals and rewards.

Hopefully, though, the Banana Short Cake fan comics will be able to get more attention to the patreon, and maybe attract future patrons who maybe aren't specifically into everything that appears in BCC. Since the R. Mika story won the poll I'll actually start working on the comic tomorrow. The plan is to draw this first story quickly... For the next ten days I'll be drawing a page of this comic every other day. However, in the future, these short stories will be produced more sporadically, and they're on average going to be drawn once a month.

And don't forget to keep voting on Side Dishes for this week.
