A Difficult Announcement

This isn't an easy message to write. But it's something I've been thinking about for a long time.

We won't be regularly publishing Benson comics anymore.

I've been working hard on Benson comics for a lot of years now. And for much of that time, the readership was growing and things felt really optimistic. Recently that has slowed right down, until the point we're at now, where readership has begun to shrink. Patreon, which I thought might provide a viable income stream, hasn't ended up attracting enough supporters to do that.

There will still be new Benson comics from time to time, as well as occasional Instagram reposts. And I'm currently putting together a book to commemorate all the best strips from over the years. So you better believe I'll be telling you about that. If you're looking for an active Benson community, I recommend our Discord server. It's full of solid gold peeps. Go to https://discord.gg/AS7SNcS for that.

Thank you to everyone who has enjoyed the comics over the years. Your enthusiasm and love has warmed my heart - and I know it has done the same for Pete, the other half of Benson's brain.

See ya 'round!
