Maybe Rich is independently wealthy and giving him money is just an inconvenience to him? Maybe he's completely destitute but he likes it that way? I don't know. You don't know. All we know is what he said, which is that any benefits of having a tip jar or donate button (which smells a lot like the categories your Patreon proposal would fall into) does not outweigh the costs in Rich's mind. That's his choice, so let's leave it at that rather than trying to read his mind about how he could conceivably feel about your proposal.

Further, it's safe to assume that, if he wanted a Patreon, he would set up a Patreon.
Did he not say he needed to earn money (with the comic) to pay his rent and health insurance?
