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.

Before I get down to business, I should mention that my friends over at Cakewrecks have done a post based on my writing style. 

I should also mention that I once again have signed copies of my first two books available for sale in my store!

The weekly subscription/Amazon report:

The Amazon Affiliate links  (US, UK, Canada) have really kicked in, which is 100% due to the efforts of all of you who have used them. Thank you.

We’re closing in on 300 subscribers, and I’m delighted!

Yes, that is less than half way to the eventual goal, but this isn’t Kickstarter. It’s not like I don’t see a dime until I get to the magic number of 800. I have nearly 300 paying customers, and if you do the math, you’ll see that’s not an insignificant amount of extra income. We have quite a way to go, but we’ve come a long way already!

So, if you’re already a subscriber, thank you. If you’re not, please consider subscribing! It works out to $30 a year, and you get to see my spelling and grammar errors in higher resolution and before nonsubscribers!
