Hey Guys,
Occasionally I hit some bumps trying to navigate the SS Panties through the waters of the business world, and I hit a doozy last Christmas. I discovered a company that scores sites based on content, and that score can have a severe impact on ad revenue. I’ve documented my adventure in this article: https://medium.com/p/3f559a96e166
While we’ve come out the other end OK, this is a problem that can still be affecting other artists out there that use banner ads to generate revenue.
My intent isn’t to bring out the pitchforks against these guys, but to bring attention to their practices in the hopes of increasing the transparency of their organization (e.g. having a better appeal process).
So take a look, and share the article! Hopefully it’ll help someone out there.

P.S. You guys rock.

We’re exhibiting at Emerald City Comic-Con this weekend in wonderful Seattle.
Come by and say hi at booth #1411.
Jen will be on a panel this year called “Wit and Wisdom of Webcartoonists” on Friday, March 28 in HALL D (602-603) at 1:40PM – 2:30PM
We’ll also be running a little scavenger hunt to win a free copy of Devil’s Panties Volume 1. We have 3 different flyers that will be distributed with some convention bags, and there’ll be a special fourth flyer hidden around the convention. Turn all four flyers in at our table and you get DP Volume 1 for free!
Hints will be dropped via @devilspanties throughout the weekend.
Good Luck!

Jen’s going to get into the habit of doing a monthly livestream, starting this month!
The stream will be viewable here:

See ya there!

You may have noticed the giant Patreon banner up top, or the button to the left, or the story earlier in your data stream. I don’t know how you consume our morsels anymore, but we’re delighted that you do.
Anyway, I’m here to tell you that despite the ever-cleverer panhandling we engage in, you shouldn’t feel bad if you can’t contribute any money.
It really is enough that you continue to read the comic. Sometimes we wake up and are amazed that anyone reads it at all, let alone thousands of anyones.
But there are other ways to support the comic, and one of those is sharing. While financial support is important for the immediate survival of The Devil’s Panties, social support is important for it’s long term stability and growth.
Word of mouth is how this comic got started, how Jennie got started, and it’s how they’ll both keep on thriving.
If you see a comic you like, and know someone who will love it, or know of a community on some far corner of the internet that would get a chuckle out of it, let them love it! Show it to them!
It’s via your shares, notes, likes, tweets, and reddit posts that the comic will continue to draw the audience which fuels the Devil’s Panties machine.
Thank you all!

We’re resurrecting the old monthly campaign drive, combining it with Bonus Booty, adding new rewards, and going for some new goals.
And we’re wrapping it all up in Patreon.
Patreon is sorta like Kickstarter, but instead of supporting one humongo project, you’re supporting ongoing, smaller efforts. You’re pledging for a unit of work. Most people on Patreon ask for support per thing(in our case that thing is a comic strip), but since Jennie updates every day, and we’re not in the bankrupting business, our unit of work is a month of daily updates.
Just like Kickstarter, there are rewards and goals.
For rewards, the new stuff in addition to Bonus Booty is access to a monthly livestream and signed, high resolution copies of the month’s most popular comics.
The goals are the big news for long-time readers. Depending on the amount of direct patronage we get per month, Customers Suck and Geebas on Parade can make a comeback. Jennie has been wanting to make new Customer’s Suck and Geebas for a long time, but she’s been so busy traveling and working on other sources of income that they’ve fallen by the way-way-side. This is a chance to resurrect them via your support.
Check out our Patreon Page, check out the rewards, and pledge what you can. Or just watch Jen make an adorable goofball of herself.
Thank you all for being awesome.

P.S. Current Bonus Booty subscribers will continue to receive all the Patreon rewards for the $5 and below level, this includes wallpapers. There is no need to switch unless you want a higher or lower level of reward.
Hey guys,
Just did a fair amount of maintenance on the website, everything seems to be running smoothly so far, but if it’s not, please yell at us!
