The stickers are here!

The Sticker Club stickers have arrived! They’re nice sturdy matte vinyl, so you can stick ’em on basically anything. Get yours (along with extra rewards like early comic pages!) when you join the Chio Club Sticker tier!

The Chio Club Sticker Tier is $12/month (including shipping!) and you’ll get an exclusive unique sticker each month you’re subscribed! You’ll also get other rewards like behind the scenes stuff and early pages!

You can join via Patreon or Ko-Fi at http://chio.club!

This is an experiement still, so if nobody joins, the Sticker Club just won’t continue since it won’t be viable to keep going. The Chio Club directly keeps Follower (and my other comics) going by paying for webhosting, software updates & subscriptions, domain renewals, and more.

I’m really hoping at least a couple of folks join in so I can keep this going! If not, these are going into the proverbial vault until I figure out what else to do with them.

Sticker Club Update!

Posted on February 28, 2023February 28, 2023 by Bug

So I took an informal poll in various places around the internet where our community gathers, to see if there’s interest in a potential physical sticker tier for the Chio Club, and the answer seems to be a tentative-but-mostly-yes!

This will take a little bit of planning on my part to put together, but overall should be pretty easy since I’ve got a lot of the necessary artwork planned out and in various states of completion.

Here’s what you need to know:

Sticker Tier will be $10 for US folks and $12 for the international crew. The shipping is a little pricier for places outside the US, which I have no control over, sorry!
- You’ll receive either one large sticker (approx. 3″) or two smaller stickers (approx. 1-2″) every month you’re a paid member. Stickers will be sent at the end of the month you’ve paid for, so everyone has a chance to pledge if they want to.
- The stickers will be a heavy vinyl good for sticking on all kinds of things. I’m a fan of high-quality stickers and want to make a nice product. There might be other fancy types in the future if Sticker Tier is successful. (Maybe holographic, glow in the dark, etc.!)
Every month will have a different theme! It’s a surprise! The themes will feature characters from our comics, mostly Chios.
After a couple of months, I’ll open up a “secret shop” for members where you can buy past months’ stickers at a steeply discounted price.
If nobody pledges, it just won’t happen. I need 1-2 pledges at minimum to make it work!
Right now, I’m planning on opening up pledges for the Sticker Tier in April 2023.

…and that’s the bulk of the details. Things won’t open up until April since I need a little lead time to organize, in addition to regular comic work, but I hope this will be interesting to folks who maybe haven’t pledged to the Chio Club before!

As usual, if you’re interested, you can join the Chio Club via Patreon or Ko-Fi:

Chio Club – Sticker Tier – Interest Check?

Posted on February 22, 2023February 22, 2023 by Bug

So I’ve been playing around with the idea of a physical sticker tier for the Chio Club for a while. I’ve got over a dozen ideas for a monthly sticker that could be mailed to you, wherever you are, and getting stickers made nowadays is one of the easiest things ever.

I’ve been polling my audience on various social sites for a few days, and so far the results are more in favor of a new sticker tier than against, so I’m doing a bit more research and math to make this real.

I’m planning to do a variety of things with Follower and Messenger characters, and maybe some characters from additional works once I’m able to get those things off the ground. But I’m hoping to either do one big sticker a month, or two smaller ones. I still have to do some math and shop around for printers to find the best price.

Basically, I want an excuse to make cool stickers, and it would be super cool if other people wanted them, too.
