If you’re new here: this GoFundMe exists because a group of readers asked how they could help keep all of our work going, and ongoing support is how new pages continue to be made.
And it's not about "donating"; it's more about becoming one of the people who makes sure these webcomics don’t disappear - and that more webcomics can be produced. You're essentially our bosses. =)

Our Webcomics
• The Depths – Adult “furry” adventures of sea otters in danger, romance, and epic underwater storytelling
• Insignificant Otters – Hilarious webcomic strip about two shipwrecked otters trying not to kill each other on a deserted island.
• Island Girls – Tropical mysteries and romances set in 1940s Bora Bora during World War 2.
The Wet and Wild - Our newest webcomic! A group of beautiful female college-age furries make up a team known as the Los Angeles Wet and Wild in the regional Underwater Torpedo League.
Webcomic concepts we'd love to create next:
Currents: About an oceanographic team transported to a whole other water-world and trying to survive and find love with the help of some beautiful water nymph aliens.
Horrors: Short-subject webcomic stories in the same vein as "Tales From the Crypt" "Creepshow", and more.
Luana: A bold, historical webcomic about a princess pearl diver balancing romance and intrigue as she tries to solve a deep-sea murder.
Concept Art:
Tabitha: A runaway feline princess from another dimension and a high school outcast become unlikely allies to battle a vengeful wizard bent on revenge and power.

What Your Support Does
Every dollar goes directly toward keeping these webcomics alive. Our monthly goal is $2,000 — enough to pay the artists, maintain the sites, and make sure new pages continue instead of going dark. Currently, we’re only covering about 10% of that, which means every new supporter genuinely changes the time the next page is created.
Your support pays for:
- Artists who draw the pages you read
- Writers who plan and script each episode
- Website hosting to keep the webcomics online
- Tools and software needed to create
When fully funded, it also allows us to:
- Increase update frequency
- Bring in additional artists for our new projects
- Produce print editions and special releases
Our Current Expenses:
- Two new pages of "The Depths" each month: $500
- Two new pages of "Island Girls" each month: $500
- Two new pages of "The Wet and Wild" each month: $500
- Two new pages of "Insignificant Otters" each month: $300
- Websites maintenance/Advertising/Promotion: $200
Total: $2000 per month desired
Monthly Supporters make all the difference:
- Fund completed pages and chapters
- Keep multiple creators paid consistently
- Reduce delays caused by unpredictable costs
- Plan projects months ahead instead of week-to-week
Supporters at this level often:
- Receive regular updates and behind-the-scenes glimpses
- See works-in-progress, sketches, and new ideas first
- Have their feedback heard when shaping future projects
- Are recognized publicly as part of the core group making this work possible
Join Us on Our Webcomic Journey
Creating and publishing these webcomics every month isn’t free. Between writing, art, hosting, and the time it takes to make everything you read here, we need about $2,000 per month to keep running in a healthy, sustainable way.
If you’re reading this, you’re already one of the people these stories were made for. The only question now is whether you want to be one of the people who quietly keeps them alive.
If our webcomics have ever mattered to you, please consider becoming part of that circle today. Monthly support is what makes everything you see here possible.
Thanks so much for reading!
— Paul, Paula, Jim, Jay, Antman and Rage
