$3/moTHE INNER HIVEThis is the Patreon version of the INNER HIVE Club that's been going on since 2012. It's the club that literally saved the comic strip.You get access to the weekly INNER HIVE message with each week's comic the day before it's published online, plus commentary, preliminary artwork, extra comics, contests, recipes, word-find puzzles, hot celeb tips and whatever else I can think of.

$6/moTHE INNER HIVE PLUSYou're a member of the INNER HIVE, with all its rights, privileges and responsibilities. PLUS every January, those who have been in the INNER HIVE PLUS tier for the entire previous year will get four high-resolution files of Tom the Dancing Bug comics. PLUS you get access to archived content

$15/moTHE INNER HIVE'S SUPER FUN PACKEvery January, those who have been in the THE INNER HIVE'S SUPER FUN PACK for the entire previous year will get mailed to them some gift from the Tom the Dancing Bug studio. Could be a signed/sketched book, an original sketch, an original illustration that was actually a component of a comic, or Something Else (tm)! It's a "Mystery Box"!Plus all previous rewardsSuper fun!

$29/moTHE INNER HIVE'S THISISCRAZYWHATNOWAYWHAT??? I'm just amazed you're still reading this, and shocked, honored and flattered that this is even being offered, although, to be fair, I myself am the one offering it. Okay, every January, those who have been in THE INNER HIVE'S THISISCRAZYWHATNOWAY for the entire previous year will get their choice of a custom one-panel illustration of whatever they want (subject to law and good taste) OR a signed print of the comic of their choice; AND they will get a phone call to discuss Tom the Dancing Bug, comics, comedy, politics, the Mets, or anything else they like, OR even a meet-up if we are in the same general geographic location. Plus all previous rewards, and a crazy amount of gratitude from me and all Tom the Dancing Bug fans around the world.

$59/moTHE INNER HIVE'S LEGION OF ETERNAL HONOROkay, every January, those who have been in THE INNER HIVE'S LEGION OF ETERNAL HONOR for the entire previous year become my actual best friend, and are entitled to: Late night phone calls ("You hang up first." "No, YOU hang up first!"); One musical montage of the two of us frolicking around town: e.g., in a rowboat (you accidentally splash me with the oar); both of us playfully engaging with a street performer; you coming out of the changing room of a clothing store multiple times, in different outfits, with me nodding "no," until you emerge in something sufficiently badass; I come up with a crazy and creative, but effective way to deal with your bully; One trip to South America where we try peyote in a cave; Plus all previous rewards, EXCEPT the four high-res files.
