But just getting our books out of tariff purgatory is going to cost thousands and thousands of dollars. And we... just don't have that kind of money right now. So we need your help if this little independent press is going to survive.
Fieldmouse Press has been a labor of love. I've invested a ton of time and energy into making beautiful books that challenge what comics can be, and the stories we can tell with the art form I love the most. I've never gotten a check, and never will.
I hate that I'm on here asking for help, but @FieldmousePress in a huge amount of trouble because of the recently enacted 54% tariff on imported goods from China. If we can't raise a huge amount of cash, we're probably going to have to shut down.

This Spring 2025, our roster is absolutely stacked & we're so stoked about it. From familiar faces to new challengers...melancholy to mystery..& everything in between, it's never been a better time to be a comics menace
SPRING 2025! Let's fucking go!

Hey all! We've got just 5 days left on our Winter Publishing Line featuring new books by @connor_comics and @AaronLosty! We're 96% to our goal, or less than $400. Any support to help get this over the line would be greatly appreciated <3
Also worth noting that being a guy is different than being a little guy. Little guys aren't mean because they're too little
Every Twitter guy says mean things, this is definitional. His mean things are just about "I'm good at fashion" instead of, like, "I'm a fascist "

It's the last week of our @Crowdfundr campaign to offset print costs for @Fishelle, @heytinguu, and Ruby Carter's new books! If you have been holding back, now is a great time to jump in!
