The Draw Play is on Patreon!
Hello everyone. Thank you for your years of readership. It’s been 4 years, and I’m 10 comics away from 500. I never thought I’d make it this far. The fact that I have is almost entirely thanks to you. The comic may be made by me, about my opinions and jokes, but at the end of it all, I make it for my readers. It’s a weird experience putting myself out there every week, knowing that plenty will disagree and call my stuff bad, but it’s worth it for those who like it. I’ve never asked much of you except to read my comic, and share it with others when you can.
But it’s gotten to the point where if I want to keep it going, I need a little help. The Draw Play is run on bare bones cheap servers, it barely holds together, and my equipment is failing. So while I appreciated everyone’s request that I start a gofundme or kickstarter for a new tablet, the bottom line is that I have more problems cropping up than just an old tablet. The tablet was just the first thing to go. So instead of asking for money for a new tablet, I’m asking for something slightly different. I’m asking for a more general type of help. I’m asking for you to support me on Patreon.
Here is my page. You might also have noticed a button on the sidebar. In case you don’t know what Patreon is, it’s basically Kickstarter, but instead of funding a specific project or goal, you are funding the creator themselves, allowing them to keep doing what they want to do. Even if I get a new tablet, I might not be able to keep the Draw Play running. I’m not the type of person to ask for donations and help, but I’m humbly asking now, So I can keep bringing you comics every week and give you a place to discuss football.
On top of letting me cover the costs of keeping the site up and great, any funding will also go towards improving the site and bringing new content. I’m going to open a store one day, I swear (Please, let me know what kind of stuff you’d like to see if I made one!).
I also have some exciting news. I’m going to start a Podcast! I have a plan, I have a co-host (Former KSK writer RobotsFightingDinosaurs), and I will try to get the first episode up as soon as I can. Right now all I need is a good microphone and a little technical help. We already recorded one episode, but due to some old tech, I couldn’t export the file without it crashing. Any patronage you can offer will help alleviate these problems. I plan on it being a weekly thing, and look for it in the coming month should things work out the way I hope.
So thank you again for reading my silly comics and jokes. This site is made for you, and I hope you can help me make it a better place.
Tomorrow I make a comic in MS paint.
Make The Draw Play Great Again!
Seriously he missed an opportunity to use that last line for his poster.
This implies the Draw Play was at one point not great and my ego refuses to admit that possibility
I was joking btw
“Tomorrow I make a comic in MS paint.”
If there is a more compelling argument to donate to this man’s Patreon than those words right there, I can’t think of it.
You are implying that you can’t get some kickass MS Paint art or at least some hilarity from it.
“Tomorrow I make a comic in MS paint.”
SERIOUSLY DONATE TO THIS FUCKER’S PATREON DO YOU EVEN KNOW HOW BAD MS PAINT IS?
its so bad…
so…
bad…
Hey Dave! Mexican long-time reader here. I’m living in the UK, but I’d like to support you. Can I fund you with British Pounds? Keep it up mate!
It should translate across currencies I don’t know why it wouldn’t
Hey Santiago! I just tested this out and it should work just fine – you’re the man!
yo if u make a store i would 100% buy a sex cannon shirt
Bro, when are you going to make /r/miamidolphins and me the “I MISS MARINO” T-shirt from your jaded comic? I’ll buy that in a heart beat.
I’ll help out. You know I love your comic.
That and a Sex Cannon shirt was likely going to be my first bit of merch, but I was hoping to have a couple more items at launch to even things out a bit
How about a Tony Dungy death stare shirt. It would be the perfect way to keep anyone from talking to you.
I would love an Andy Reid walrus shirt. Possibly my favorite running joke in the comic.
Get us Bills fans a Ryan brothers shirt. Quick, before we all realize they suck!
i’d buy a shirt with a picture of john urschel using spectral graph theory to create the optimal running play
Fun fact: I came to your site today, looking to see what your Patreon page was like already. I’ll hit something up for you in May when my financial situation shifts for the good.
I freaking LOVE love love your work!
The animations & Comics are hilariously funny & well put together. I also enjoy the commentary. It’s nice to hear/read an opinion from someone who doesn’t take themselves too seriously.
Kindof a bummer that I’m not in a position to help out this minute, but in the weeks to come I will most certainly dig deep!
You gotta keep this thang alive & well man! Improvements never hurt either & will hopefully help bring in enough revenue that you never again have to humbly stick out your hand seeking donations.
As much as I enjoy your work & this site, I’m a bit surprised that someone smart hasn’t come through & offered you all the money & equipment you could ever need. Lord knows, the content you are producing is better than 90% of the sh!t that gets shilled out there in internetland.
Cheeers!

IGNORE THIS COMMENT IT WAS A MISTAKE
shitty chrome auto fill and accidentally bumping ‘enter’ made me post that address – any chance you could delete that?
If you start a store, you should absolutely get as much abuse out of the Redskins’ non-trademarked logo as possible.
GREAT idea!
Are there any restrictions at all? Or could you literally sell a t-shirt with the exact Redskins logo on it?
Of course, I’d prefer to see some good savage mockery of the whole thing, but that’s where Mr. Rappocio’s talent comes into play 🙂
Can’t wait for an Eagles fan to donate 50$
I’m hoping an Eagles fan gives you $50.
If you say “bill belichick has a sexy hoody body” I will donate 150$
I have a suggestion. Get fanduel or draft kings to sponsor you.
Ew. Ew ew ew ew ew ew ew ew ew.
No! BAD! BAD STEELERS FAN! BAD! /me rolls a newspaper and smacks Steel curtain on the nose.
NO PLAYOFFS FOR YOU! BAD!
Holy shit. Those bengals fans are invading ur comments again Dave!!
Hey now. I’m a Broncos fan.
I just absolutely loath Fanduel and Draft Kings.
Yeah same here.
I tried fanduel and lost about 50 bucks. I’m sticking to different fantasy football fans.
Oh and sry bout the bengals fan thing. Usually when someone’s using “playoffs” and “steelers” I automatically think “Crap bengals fan. Run.”
I saw the MS paint comic, I now understand the struggles of an artist.
Hope dave gets the $$$ he needs, Love the comic.
I might be able to help you out with the hosting part. I work for HostDime, which is the best hosting provider on earth, bar none.
If a Browns fan cancels his season ticket package and pledges $50 how are you going to tell the world how much better his team is that yours without busting out in uncontrollable Jimmy Fallon style laughter?
