Dollars (strip)

get well soon wishes from Tucker, Molly and Apollo, oh and me.

So, in weird "doing good" news, my middle son is no longer upset about his "terrible toes" needing to be trimmed regularly, because the Brutus guy had a problem like it. ^.^

😂 didn't expect that

Come on! Haha

A good cause.

Honestly, if my bit a helps make your life easier so that you can continue to make these awesome strips idk what you do with it lol.

HAHAHAHA awesome

I understand your feeling, Auchan a relief

Lmaoooo! Thanks for being honest, I like how you shared the story! Glad you feel better now!

Glad to help and be a subscriber! 😊🙌

Oof. I had the same problem when I was younger. 2 years and I finally had it removed from my right big toe. Was supposed to just harden but the mail grew back all messed up lol.

I've been there too, I ended up getting all my toenails taken off that year, since many of the other ones were getting close to being ingrown as well.

Both my big toe toenails are ingrown as well. And you know I am about to YouTube the procedure.

Been there done that! I looked 😅

Support Artists!

wait a moment - you have to pay for a surgery like this??

Not the feet content I was hoping for from Patreon but eh, it’ll do. *Cuts lights, grabs Vaseline.

I have the same problem.

As a kid, I had my two big toenails fully removed, nail bed and all, because my ingrown nails were so bad. This photo brought back memories. :p Good luck with the toes!

We don’t expect you to not spend your living wages on living expenses… and not dying is… well… living and incurs expenses.

If my dollar a month helps your quality of life, by all means. I broke my big toe ten days before leaving for Spain for a short study aboard. The following couple of years, I kept getting ingrown toenails because I damaged the nailbed. After having four of them removed, I got the permanent procedure done. It was painful but one of the best decisions I've ever made.

If it helps the artist it’s worth it 😂

This killed me omg

Aw I get that issue. It hurts so bad. Also love the pixie and brutus figurine. Possible future merch for us? ;)

having had that done on my big toes on more than one ocassion, I sympathize.

Yikes! Hope you are back to super sports soon!! Glad you were able to get it done! 👏🏼🦶🏼👏🏼. In the meantime, make art! 💖💖💖💖

is that Pixie and Brutus little figurines! I NEED IT. and I'm very glad you got your toes fixed.. Ingrown toenails suck.

Youch! I’m glad you managed to get this done - this is so painful!

Are your toes going to be on a ToeBro video? Did you have the whole nails removed or just the ingrown part? Did they use acid to keep the ingrown part from coming back?

The fact you have to pay to have a painful yet minor problem fixed is crazy for me living in the UK. Glad it's (hopefully) fixed though.

Oof so glad you got it done you will feel much better when everything heals!

I am bit confused. You had to pay for a surgery in case you are in pain? Is that normal? I mean that’s why there is a medical insurance or? Anyway, happy to hear it’s better now!

Had to have this done on one of my big toes too.

Been there multiple times, though mostly just the one big toe over and over. Eventually they made a point to kill off part of the "root" of the toe nail to avoid having to do it more. Still took a few tries to fully take.

Dude, self care.

I couldn't care less on what you spend your money on. It's YOUR money, that you EARNED. But ok, I agree that this made a good (?) comic strip

Don't need no YooChoob, I had it done on the left big toe when I was thirteen. Hope your healing goes well! (And, for the record, I'd rather that you use the money for quality of life operations than backgrounds, unless the background involves Pixie and Brutus as kaiju, nudge nudge.)

I'm happy to help your art and your personal life with my money.

crowbar! *snerk!* :D Get well soon! How do I get my hands on those adorable Pixie and Brutus figurines?

I am ok with this - I'm happy you are getting better

Two years! That is cringe worthy. Glad you got it fixed! Now we need a Pixie and Brutus Nail trimming comic.

yikes! Im glad you got the surgery! I know how painful ingrown toenails are

This is EXACTLY the kind of stuff I expect my Patreon dollars to pay for: necessary, quality-of-life-improving procedures that creators otherwise would not be able to afford. You're welcome.

Hey, money well spent.

Hurray for the American profit-driven fee-for-service "healthcare" system

I've has this done as well, and life becomes blissful. However, now I have a mutant big toe nail that is fun for my pedicurist.

Hope you feel better soon!

I will happily fund the elimination of pain.

Been there. Hard to believe something so small is so painful! Glad you could get rid of them.

Just shut up and take my money :P

I've gotten that done before. It sucked! Hope you feel better soon. My son got his first one recently and we are still treating and hope he doesn't ultimately go this route.

The amount of enjoyment I get from the few extra comic is always worth the $1 even if it is spent on toes lol

Had three of those surgeries done on each big toe, so I know your pain. Hope you feel better soon! <3

Had to get it done twice on both sides of each toe. It sucks for a little while, but just be sure to keep everything clean. Feel better soon! 💓

Spend those dollars where you need, your content is worth some gnarly toes.

BTW , get well soon :)

I want so bad the Brutus and Pixie toys!!!!! Where did you get it ? <3

I’ve had both the edges removed and at a separate time the entire nail. Good luck on recovery.

Dear God I felt that because I've had an ingrown toenail too a few years back. Take your time to rest and heal my man!

Ah, I've had the same surgery! Both big toes, on both sides of the nail. Be prepared for it to hurt for quite some time. And the saline baths sting like mad. But it's so worth it, I'm a year on now, and it's made a huge difference. Good luck in your healing!

Get well soon! I went with my mum when she had to have this, doctor asked if wanted to watch...no thanks sir! Instead I get to hear my mum who had happily watched and told me in graphic detail on the drive home. I’m still traumatised now.

You do what ever you want. It's your money! And happy to help 😍

This is indirectly helping your work ❤️

As someone who was BARELY able to save a toenail from becoming ingrown, I'm glad you got it fixed

I’m happy to support a person’s health as much as their creative endeavors. Of the videos I’ve briefly seen it looks incredibly painful so I’m really glad you finally got it fixed!

Lol glad you're feeling better!

I was a military medic way back when and one of the random things I got signed off on and did was ingrown toe nail removal. Not quite as thrilling as placing chest tubes but still helps people out. Had one patient ask to keep the nail I removed as proof for his NCO that he legit had an issue. Popped it in a test tube and gave it to the guy because why not?

Just, so you know; I can make semi-sweet chocolate chip cookies. If you don't get better, I will have NO CHOICE, but to send you some. This is a threat!

As a long time ingrown toenail sufferer, I GET IT! (shoves another dollar under the door)

Happy to have helped

Been There Done That, it'll take a few weeks to fully recover, I was up and limping in a couple of days. Hang in there it will be better.

Oh my goodness sorry about your toes and I'm glad you were able to get it taken care of but WHY WOULD YOU SHOW THAT CUTE STATUE AND NOT SAY WHERE TO GET IT?!?

Wait, all this time there was no background? Guess I was so involved in the comics I never noticed until now... About the toes, hope you have a swift and pain free recovery!

Oooof. That sounds really painful. I hope you heal quickly!

Get better soon! Money for your art should be used on personal wellbeing. Don't feel guilty at all :)

You're not alone. I had mine since I was a kid all the way through to the military. Every step feels like a knife slicing inside my flesh and it hurt to even walk. I was actually limping on both legs some days. The pain was no longer worth it. Yeah, when they yanked 'em out (the numbing agent only could do so much) it still hurt. Days later, it also hurt to have them heal. But honestly? I'd do it all again. I'm big-toenail-free and pain free. Totally worth it! An added bonus is all I have to do is show my toes to my sister when she gets annoying. It grosses her out all to hell, but her son (my nephew) thinks it's cool!

Oh God, I know the feeling. I had ingrown toenails for about a year, partly cause I thought the antibiotics given to me made me dizzy while I was on a visit with my mom. It got to the point that my 2nd foster family had to shell out at least 1000 dollars for surgery and the surgeon pointed out how they were practically going to fall off if I waited any longer. That foster family was shitty to me in a number of ways, but I'm still grateful to them for saving my toes. I hope they know that much, and despite everything, I hope they're safe during the pandemic.

I support the care and feeding of the artists I support. Just wish I could do more. Healthcare falls under that. Take care of yourself. <3

Ugh I can empathize. Had 5 surgeries for both toenails cause they can't help growing out like paper fans. Pedicures then became my more affordable prevention procedure 👣

Ooh, I've had that done. Definitely an unpleasant procedure. Soaking in warm water with Epsom salts will feel nice!

Glad the pain is gone. I know how that feels (I can't afford to remove mine) where can I get that pixie and brutus toy?

Glad we can help. Hope you make a quick recovery! ❤️

I've had to have ingrowns cut out multiple times. Once, I had to have the entire big toenail removed. That's how I learned I was immune to codeine. Didn't do a damn thing and it hurts a lot for a couple of days.

I've had the same issue for about 6 years now. It's gotten to the point that I deal with bad pain about once a month before doing a little self-surgery. Then it becomes a tolerable pain level for the rest of the time.

I've had the same issue, I can relate. Get well soon!

I’ve had that done a number of times! Eventually had one of my big toenails removed because it was STILL causing problems. Rest up and use the money we give you to get yourself some ice cream or a chocolate bar 🥰

Don't stop there dude. Feel free to use my money to buy yourself some icecream or whatever. You deserve a treat after going through that surgery.

Ooh, that's no fun. Speedy recovery!

Where can I buy that Pixie and Brutus' toy?

I've dealt with ingrown toenails back when I was a teen. It's not a process I wish to revisit. I hope you make a speedy recovery.

Sounds like a horrible time man. I've been here since the beginning and I'm honestly surprised you haven't raised your prices because your comics are truly awesome and one of a kind. I'm hoping you release a book some time. :)

Your comics help me feel better all the time! Glad to return the favour! Get well soon. xox

I laughed a little harder at this than is probably socially acceptable. I had to have one removed once years ago - and that convinced me to do everything in my power to not ever get another one!!! I've kept that vow so far (knock on wood!) but I feel for ya!! Honestly, as much joy as I get from P&B, I wouldn't care if you used my money for PronHubz. You do you, buddy. 🤣 Feel better soon!!

Dang! Hope you have a speedy recovery! I understand your pain. I get them in my fingers and toes.

I had one cut back and the nail bed partly killed so it can't ever grow back due to chronic ingrown nails on the side of one big toe. It looks a little odd, but I do Not miss that pain, gratz!

I went through the same thing, both infected, both removed at once. Remember lots of polysporin (or which ever antibiotic cream you have) and don't let the wrapping stick to the raw nail bed! And lots of elevation! Feel better!

I work for a podiatrist and I watch/assist with these surgeries all the time. They’re kinda fascinating. I hope you have some good long-term relief!

Hey, it improves your overall health and quality of life. Happy to support the cause.

Yep, this is exactly how you remove ingrown toenails. *nods head sagely*

I’m very happy this is paying for your health!

Oooh man.... makes my booty pucker just thinking about those ingrown toes. So glad you were able to get them taken care of, and good wishes for a super speedy recovery!

Wishing you a quick recovery. Good use of the money!

I had to have the same thing done about seven years ago! Not fun for sure, but I haven't had ingrown toenails since, so it was definitely worth it! Hope they heal up quickly for you! ❤️

Okay but getting both done at once is BRAVE. Get lots of rest

Ooof. Happened to me when I was a teenager

hey if it'll help you be out of constant pain then i'd say its worth it

As someone who has been through this surgery multiple times, I say: "Congratulations on the relief."

Having been through this with a couple family members, all I can say is 'owie-owie-owie'!Good luck, dude, heal fast! :-)

I'm glad we could help you with things like this too

Been there! I’m glad you got it fixed!!

Happy to help, and thank you for not posting gross pictures.

I'm glad we could help! I have seen how painful it is, and the corrective surgery for it. Hope you have a good recovery!

Been there.. still got ingrown, tho' it's on no longer in as, into the toe .. damned doctor refusing to listen to medical journals.. xD

Ouch!

Glad you're on the road to recovery! Is that p&b figure still available anywhere or have I missed my chance? I have the Pixie plush but missed Brutus 😭

I feel your pain. I will have to go for that surgery at some point myself. Been holding off cause my job is about 12hrs of walking a day so can’t afford to not be able to walk. Hope you heal quickly.

I’m glad we could provide!

Oof I’ve been there! Glad you will be more comfortable now!

I am glad your toes have been taking care of

I’ve been there, but for two different toe nails. It’s not fun to walk afterwards.

Hope you feel better! 😆♥️
