The Achewood Donation and Patronage Program

Dear Reader,

Help support our free (and ad-free!) site! Your gift is a crucial part of our ability to offer our growing archive, and to support our growing family.

If you enjoy Achewood on a regular basis, please consider making a contribution to our efforts. As independent artists, our only income is from readers like you.

Sincerely,

Chris Onstad & Co.

What Achewood provides every reader for free:

  • Nearly 1,500 double-length, multiple-award winning comics of indescribable lyrical beauty
  • Twelve regularly-updated blogs, with over 1,000 archived entries
  • Nearly forty story arcs
  • The AssetBar commenting system, The User Community Which Filters Out Morons™
  • The Ray's Place advice archives
  • … much, much more!

All without advertising, micro-payments, or embedded .wav files of coins rattling in a paper cup.

  1. Your donation will be personally (i.e., by Chris) acknowledged via email, and the details manually tracked. This is not an impersonal, automated service. Please allow 1–2 days for a reply.
  2. You may decline to receive any donor benefit, if you would like 100% of your gift to remain with Achewood. Simply type "No gift option" in the Add Special Instructions to Seller field during checkout.
  3. To receive a birthday card, include your birthday in the MM/DD/YYYY format in the Add Special Instructions to Seller field during checkout.
  4. You may donate as "Anonymous." We will not immediately add your name to our donors page, so you have time to contact us if you would like to maintain your privacy. Contact Chris@achewood.com with any privacy concerns.
