Pepper&Carrot is an open source webcomic series by French artist David Revoy. The series consists of small episodes about teenage witch Pepper and her cat Carrot. With its translations into 28 different languages and violence free stories it aims to be accessible for everyone.
Contents
Revoy creates the series entirely with free software, such as Krita and Inkscape, making the Krita source files for each image available for download.
In 2016 French publisher Glénat added a bundle with episodes 1 through 11 to their catalog, to print and distribute the comic in France. Revoy was consulted to ensure the colours and quality of the print are as he envisioned it. The publication has no effect on the license of the webcomic.

List of episodes
A new episode appears approximately once every month.
Funding
Revoy aims to change the comic book industry by eliminating intermediate steps in the production process. Though Pepper&Carrot is free, he encourages people to support him on the Patreon crowdfunding platform, in the form a small amount of money per episode that is released. Patreon takes a commission of 5%, in addition to any credit card fees. This is significantly less than a traditional chain where the publisher, distributors and retailers each claim a part of the profit.
