Rafer Roberts starts a Patreon


It's been a while. How have you been? Hope you're good. Happy new year! Me? Oh, I finished Nightmare the Rat in 2020, then Plastic Farm in early January 2021, and haven't drawn a single comic book page since. I've WRITTEN a lot of comics since then, and drawn a few covers and pinups, but I miss drawing my own thing for myself.

So, before I lose my mind, introducing CEEK'R, now being birthed on Patreon: https://patreon.com/rafercomics?utm_medium=clipboard_copy&utm_source=copyLink&utm_campaign=creatorshare_creator&utm_content=join_link

Patrons will get to read CEEK'R as I create it and enjoy all the behind-the-scene thrills that go along with making a weird comic. Won't you join us?
