Current Post On Trae’s Blog:
So a lot of you know that I have a Patreon. If you didn't, uh... you do now? I originally launched it for my comics, but it kind of transitioned to being mostly focused on my Witchcraft podcast years ago -- because that's where I had extra content I could give folks -- but it's overall just for "me" in general.
Anyways.
My goal for the last year has been to increase the "value" for Patreon patrons, with all paid tiers getting access to a copy of Super Awesome Action Heroes, and the five dollar and ten dollar tiers getting access to my novels (at different times -- the five dollar tier patrons get them on a year delay).
For a while I had been doing Patreon exclusive "vlogs," but those didn't last just because I literally ran out of things to say in them. I mean, I'm boring. The only eventful stuff in my life is the eventful stuff happening to all of us right now. Back in April, I think I came up with something fun that I've now done two months in a row.
And that's record reaction videos to episodes of The Pagan Invasion.
You see, for the April episode of BS-Free Witchcraft I did an episode on the structure of Satanic Panic propaganda, and used the first episode of 1991's The Pagan Invasion as the example to illustrate my points. For that episode I needed to, obviously, rewatch that first episode for research.
Rather than just watch it in private though, I recorded my rewatch as a commentary and reaction video and posted it as a Patreon exclusive video. And even though the podcast has moved on from the topic, folks asked me to react to episode two... so I did that last week. I fully intend to review the whole series on my Patreon now, and each one of my videos ends up being like two hours long. I don't know if I'll get a chance to do one every month, but I plan to get through the whole series.
Honestly I'm not sure why I didn't think of doing something like this before.
So yeah, we're doing fun stuff there. Oh, also, before I forget to say something -- July is the annual Q&A episode of BS-Free Witchcraft, and I need listener questions. If you have something you want me to respond to on the show, just send it in via the show's contact form by July 11th 2025.

Trae, you are awesome.
I do my best. Technically this strip takes place prior to your wedding though in the timeline, so it presents a continuity error.
I think she can forgive that
NO. NO FORGIVENESS.
BAH
Man Vanessa, that looks nothing like you.
I know, she’s supposed to warn us before she gets a dye job (and maybe warn her hubby before a sex change)
He should just stop and leave though. Embarrassment from Lynn is her being extremely benevolent.
Aww man i was hoping for Lynn to grab the dude by his armpits and throw him straight to the ground with full force.
Lynn’s got a mean right cross, but she’s not a trained fighter.
Also, the dude has done literally nothing to provoke a violent confrontation. He’s lied, and is about to get kicked out — but Lynn has no indication that he won’t go peacefully.
All the more reason Lynn should kick his ass right then and there.
He hasn’t left yet. There’s still time to do something boneheadedly stupid which DOES deserve a violent reaction.
What part of “no reason to punch him” doesn’t compute?
The whole “No reason to Punch Him” doesn’t compute. I see violence as perfect answer for this situation. We all wanna see Lynn beat the shit out of someone. It’s one of the best parts of this comic. So please give us what we the fans want is more Lynn beating the shit out of congoers who deserve it like this jackass.
And that’s how Lynn would get arrested for assault.
And that’s Lynn becomes quite the badass, because having jail under her belt makes people so intimidated they run from her
Or it would just ruin her life (and by extension Megan’s – as Lynn is largely financially supporting her). That and Lynn really wouldn’t do well in prison.
I have done almost exactly this on my smartphone with our reg system. Usually I radio security to have them watch the guy/gal in question as well. though.
I think we should all start using badge numbers
Its a lot of extra work but prevents crap like this
