I did a comic where a little girl on Santa’s lap asks for Barbie and Xena. It showed up on Reddit and got over 200,000 views. Awesome, except someone had put their website url over mine. So make that 200,000 people that will never know that there are 4,000 more comics where that came from. Now when I end up at those websites that compile a bunch of funny pictures, I try and track down the original author of the funny picture, which is usually funny art. Google image search is your magical, all knowing friend. It takes two extra steps, but you can usually find the original artist nowadays.

Banner Ads

So, the banner ads are gone.

We never really liked them outside of the fact they helped pay the bills. However given current happenings, we’re super not comfortable with them anymore.

In our household we have started boycotting certain companies, and meanwhile I see these same hyper-corps living (relatively) rent-free next to our art. It just doesn’t sit right. Why pester you, our readers, to funnel more of your money into the hands of greedy oligarchs?

I tried blocking the companies from advertising on the site, and it actually worked, but there were just so many companies to block. Even if I blocked them all, ultimately some of the big tech companies would still be profiting greatly, giving them yet more money to wield against our collective interests.

So I just pulled the plug.

I was expecting to feel some great anxiety, but instead it was a great relief.

As for what’s next? We don’t know.

We might use the space to promote other things in the future, or nothing at all, but for now it’ll be a message of thanks(that some of you may already be familiar with).

Thank you for your support.
