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.
