I hope this doesn’t anger you, but I think you might’ve been better off posting these an “issue” at a time, rather than a page.
Also, I’m sure your artist is making about zero dollars, and ditto you, but I’m sure you also know a page a week is pretty terrible output in either field, although Brian Hitch could occasionally stand to speed up to that rate. 🙂

A page a week when everybody involved has, like, full-time work and stuff is not bad at all, I think. But really, I can churn out pages at a faster rate; Davinder’s schedule is the stumbling block here.
Would people be interested in me setting up a tip jar for Davinder, wherein if we hit donation targets he draws more pages?

A lot of great webcomics are/have been page-a-weeks. most of them make their money, if they do make any, via sales of the print editions. The doled-out pages basically serve as advertising for the real product, in that instance.
But not’s not to say more pages a week is bad, by any means. I say tip jar, absolutely.
I think it also is a matter of content. Since this is more ‘comic book’ than ‘comic strip’ in format, there isn’t quite enough payout in any given page. You would either want to match a more robust release schedule (which doesn’t sound like a fair demand for the time constaints of the artist), or go with supergp’s suggestion to release a full issue at a time.
I’ll add another voice in favour of a tip jar, but I’m also happy with the current page rate. Faster would be good, but not at the cost of quality or other parts of the artist’s life.

I’d actually do that. I doubt it’ll replace a full-time job anytime soon, but if it’d help provide motivation…

My plan is already to hold off for a month at a time and then read whatever’s there in sequence.
I agree with Myth.
Is there any downside to giving the tip-jar idea a shot?
