Help me not be poor!

As you can see, I’ve got some big news for you tonight: The Legend of Maxx is now on Patreon!

For those unfamiliar, Patreon is a service where people can become patrons of an artist, pledging to donate a certain amount of money per month in exchange for goodies. More details are available on the Patreon page, but here’s a brief overview: pledging certain amounts of money per month will earn you a couple of neat rewards, including access to the world I use to create Legend of Maxx comics and the sprite sheet containing all of my custom sprites! In addition to that, if enough people pledge enough money, I’ll increase the number of comics I upload per week!

I would love for the Legend of Maxx to become more than just a hobby for me. Unfortunately, what I make off of Google ads is essentially just enough to keep the site running, and the time I can devote to the comic is getting a little scarce. Ideally, I’d love for the Legend of Maxx to be able to support me, and devote all my time to the comic! I realize that might not happen right away, but any donation, no matter how small, will help me out a little and bring me one step closer to being a for-realsies cartoonist. So please, if you have any money to spare, consider becoming a patron!

Thank you!

-Jesse

NOTE: This does NOT mean that The Legend of Maxx is becoming a paid comic! It will always be free to read, right here. These donations are purely voluntary!

      1. XYLAN IS NOT MY DAD!
        IN FACT, XYLAN IS 380 YEARS YOUNGER THEN ME!!!!
        also my parents are dead.
        so the reason i said my parents dont want me to is because…… i dunno, i just dont wanna right now, maybe later.

    1. sooooooo frustrating… id love to help you jesse, but i doubt my parents are gonna let me through with donating you…. sorry
      But i still VERY much love your comics! Keep up your awesome work! <3

      1. I CANT DONAT CAS I AMZ A LATTLE KAD
        (Bad grammar is intended)
        (Also I ment that like, I mean im not 5 or something but my parents wud not let me donate)

      1. Time to get a job so I can help Jesse out! cmon guys if we all donate 1$ he would have like a gazillion dollars!!! I’m gonna donate as soon as I can!

    1. June's Psychopath Dad

      Wait…

      Is Jesse living as a hobo on the Western Continent? Or did the Merchant return to New Terraria?

      1. Whaaaaa? I don’t get love. Whatever I gotta help idiot maxx get the next sword so yeah. Forget it don’t comment me.

      2. Jesse, I love the idea of you revamping old comics…it would help me get my friends interested…but please, oh please, leave the original comics somewhere on the site for nostalgia’s sake!
        Apart from that, it would be hilarious is the demolist was found on the island the group is traveling towards. He was deported, but where is he now?

    1. Absolutely! The comic will always be free to read. This is a voluntary donation for fans who’re feeling generous!

      1. It’s in the ten dollar patron description. “You will get the sprite files and you can do whatever you want with them, just don’t start a rival comic called The Legend of Naxx.”
        Hope this helps!

  1. WHHHHHHYYYY CANT I HELP

    I would love to help, but my dad has gone insane in buying things-we have a quad a skidoo, three iPads,(one for me, my mom has one, and one is for my dad.) it depends on what my mom says.

  2. All the warmth and love in my heart is gone, leaving cold, dead stone.

    I will forever hold a grudge against my mother from this moment on.

  3. I’m totally down for helping you not to be poor! Keeping Legend of Maxx running FOREVER is worth a buck or two (or 10) a month!

  4. wait, jesse is poor… I thought he was exactly like the merchant described in his study…. WOW! Routin for ya jesse!

  5. I have a cave just like that. there was some hobo living in it and I kicked him out. Violently. Its currently part of the corruption.

  6. Ya if I tried to help I’d probably forget, I’m lame like that. Also I got no way to do so anyways

  7. Since I’m a seventeen-year-old with no money of my own, I wish you luck finding supporters on patreon!

    Wait… videos of fat people suplexing cacti?

  8. I would donate, but it’s do close to Christmas my parents are freaking out about my spending money (its been like this since october. OCTOBER!!!) Also, will we still be able to read the comics here?

  9. The First Terrarian

    Ooooh a a world file for 5 bucks a month! But I don’t have moneys…
    A week later on Patreon
    “Help me not be poor so I can help a guy not be poor so that he gives me a fictional world”
    On a serious note though there’s certainly going to be a guy that takes the file, puts it on pirate bay or sth and then less people are going to “waste” money on making Jesse not poor.

    1. I realize that may happen– but I don’t think there’s any way to prevent it if someone really wants to share it. For now I’ll leave it up to the patrons!

  10. As much as I would love to pledge some cash to my favorite comics creator, I don’t have any way of paying you as my parents maintain what I can spend.

    Also, I have a tier suggestion: Hall of Fame page. It’s a fairly popular option. Basically people give the cash for that tier, and you list those that pay for it on a separate page on the site.

  11. It’s so interesting to see so many people want to help. As a boy scout I’ve seen hundreds of people who say “maybe” which normally translates into no. So I feel bad that I can’t help, and everyone else should too.

    1. Unfortunately that may result in some legal trouble– not necessarily because of me, but the fact that my sprites are already altered Terraria sprites, which means I don’t own many of them. Of course, if you weren’t planning on selling your game for profit, there would be no issue! And thank you!

  12. Dude. I have been reading your comics for a LONG time and I’d love to help you not be poor, but I’m broke too, also my parents wouldn’t let me… 🙁 Love the way you used the merchant in this comic. Very comical.

  13. I have a question what do you use to make these comics, I’m thinking of starting a terraria comic (of course I will give you credit for inspiration and this will be a totally different plot) if you don’t want me to, it’s fine I won’t, I just was curious.

  14. Does anyone wonder what happened to the merchant and demolitionist any way? I feel like the boat is going to run out of fuel and pick up the demolitionist and have the ship run on explosive powder. When they reach the other side of the sea, they’ll all meet up with the merchant again, etc., etc.

  15. You make the Best comics ever, Jesse! Don’t keep me in suspense I NEED to figure out what happens to the Dryad!! These comics are my life now and all I have without them is just my sister…ugh.

  16. Also I can’t donate. Sorry, for some reason Aley is charging me for beverages so now I’m out of money.

      1. And even if I did,
        It would be enough dirt to sink the boat Anyways. Unless I made another jet. Why didn’t I do that instead of the boat?

      2. I thought the boat was practically unsinkable, as long as it was able to float. Would just a bit of dirt suddenly make the physics gods wake up to suck you into a black hole?

    1. You don’t know how bad I’ll want to throw a voodoo doll of anybody in a pit of lava. I don’t think I killed enough people yet.

  17. SuperDeturiumGus

    It’s very funny how June hates Maxx with every fiber in her being but maxx is so oblivious to it. One day things will flip and I can’t even imagine June likeing maxx and maxx hating June
    Alternate Universe Theory

    1. According to the multiverse theory, if June hates everything in this universe, then there are an infinite number of universes where she loves everything, and is in love with Maxx.
      POP QUIZ! Which do you find more terrifying? I love everything June…
      OR…..
      I want to kill everyone Sophia?

      1. I forgot to mention this important detail: You have to chose one, and these are your only two options. If you don’t pick one of those two options, Xane will come out from the shadows and pluck out you eyeballs.

  18. OK, I got an idea for a future comic, you know how the goblins deported the demolitionist, I thought that Maxx and the others run into him on the shore, and he ends up a a valuable member to the team.

      1. He miniaturized the box, and put it at his pocket. when necessary he would use it, but now we know why he doesn’t anymore…

  19. A purple thing with a green background

    “Questionable Japanese Animation”

    hm

    I wonder what that means…

    HMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM…
