How Can I Better Appreciate You Amazing $5+ Patrons? (Click ALL that you approve of)

Hey guys.  So this has been a growing question/concern on my mind over the past little while.  There aren't many of you $5+ patrons out there, and the number's been shrinking lately, which indicates (to me) that I'm doing a bad job of making people feel appreciated.  Because I really do appreciate you guys, and I want you to know that.  Some of you I have regular contact with, but there's a few of you that I've never talked to, and I want to find out what I can do to make you happy.

I've listed some possibilities here in this poll.  The ones I listed are all doable.  I avoided listing options that are kind of impossible, like producing lots of exclusive art, because I'm barely managing to produce the weekly comic as is.  But the stuff listed in the poll is possible, and if you have another idea, I'm all ears.  

Remember, you can vote for more than one option.

And please, let me know honestly what you think.

Well, I could do that. Certainly wouldn't hurt.

Well along with more cowbell, I've got a fever and the only prescription is more cowbell, I wouldn't say no to a hi-rez copy of the voting incentives for the five and up tiers.

Well, overall, I don't think there's a problem. It's more with the $5+ patrons. The loyal supporters who have been here a while are loyal and don't go anywhere, but I have a number of new $5 patrons who pop in, and then disappear a month or two later. Maybe they're just wanting to shoot me a few dollars and go on their merry way, and that's cool. I just worry that they're expecting something cool and not getting what they want, and that's why they don't stick around.

Look, thanks to the magic of Graphtreon, I can say that for the last 12 months or so, your Patreon income is remarkably stable within a narrow band, actually. Also losing patrons isn't always you, it can be economic anxiety. I myself have to go through and delete a number of people I'm sponsoring (present company excluded) because I'm just not having time to look at any of their stuff. I did write to them all to warn them of this eventuality (last on, first off mostly). So, there's usually a myriad of reasons people delete pledges and sometimes it really isn't you it's them. Like I said the relative stability of you income over twelve months would imply that you're doing all right.
