Another week, another payment option.

Many of you asked for an alternative payment method, because you don’t like PayPal  (a position I completely understand, by the way).  I took a while to look at the other internet-based options, and there wasn’t a single one that I couldn’t see someone expressing a problem with. I’ve decided to go low-tech, and bypass the whole mess.

Starting today you can join the Basic Instructions Subscription Service for one year by mailing a check for $30 to the following address:

Scott Meyer
P.O. Box 692191
Orlando, FL 32869-2191

Please make the check payable to Scott Meyer, and include the e-mail address to which you want me to send the comics. Once the check has cleared, I will add you to the mailing list for one year.

 Thanks, and as always, thanks for using my Amazon Affiliate links  (US, UK, Canada).

I’ve gone part time at my day job. As of now I am a full-time cartoonist who has a job on the side, as opposed to the other way around. This wouldn’t be possible if not for the support of everyone who has subscribed, donated, sponsored, or purchased stuff from me or through my Amazon Affiliate links  (US, UK, Canada), and I hope you know I appreciate it.

Now, let’s talk about the means of that support! The subscription service continues to gain subscribers at a slow but steady pace. Due to popular demand I’ve added a yearly PayPal payment option as well as the monthly. Many people wrote that they distrust PayPal, and wanted an alternative. I think I’ve come up with the perfect solution for those people, and I will be announcing it next week at this time.

Thanks again everybody. Now Missy and I are going to eat something unhealthy to celebrate!

Today marks the end of Snakehead Games' (makers of the MMOs Star Pirates and Spy Battle 2165) sponsorship of this site. I hope you'll all join me in thanking them. They seem like a great group of people, and have been nothing but pleasant to work with.

On a more negative note, I started removing the sponsorship ads and putting back the traditional internet banner ads this morning. The first ad that popped up was an auto playing video ad, and I just said "enough".

I've replaced the ads with banners for Amazon. A couple of them are pretty generic at the moment, but in time all of them will be ads for specific items I personally endorse or use. As always, anything you purchase after clicking on the ads, or my affiliate links (US, UK, Canada) will send a small sum of money my way without costing you a dime. 

Thanks for your continued patience and support.

Basic Instructions is sponsored by Snakehead Games, the makers of the MMOs Star Pirates and Spy Battle 2165.

A couple of quick notes:

Missy had one of her Draw Something drawings featured on Good Morning America. She’s written a blog post about it. Yes, I am aware that she’s a better artist than I am.

The  Amazon Affiliate links  (US, UK, Canada) is still doing great, and the subscription service continues its slow, steady climb. Thanks again to everybody who has subscribed! To those who haven’t, I would point out that I’ve gotten into the habit of including a brief commentary about whatever comic I’m sending out. Just saying.

Many of you have pointed out that Ruben Bolling, creator of the always excellent Tom the Dancing Bug has started a subscription service of his own. I just want to say that I’ve had no contact with Mr. Bolling (Aside from reading his comic every week). I have no reason to believe or disbelieve that he got the idea from me, and even if he did, I’m cool with it. It's not like I invented the concept of a subscription.
