…So, there’s some big news around here, I’ve dismantled the membership portion of the site.
All the comics, new and old will now be free, to anyone. Enjoy.
There are a few reasons for this dramatic shift, some involving the f$%^&*@# technology which has been an absolute bear since I started, and still this week there were 4 members without access, I’ve spent too much time in support forums. Too much.
But, most of the reasons involve membership in any club. I want the comics to be free so that a newly pregnant mama will see them. They’re timely, they editorialize current events, they need to be seen by thousands of people. A day. I’m going to go back to my original model which is a combination of magical thinking: “If I do what I love and give it to the world, good things will come back to me”, selling products (the shirts and bags and calendars are almost ready! Books are here!) and selling ad space (if you know someone tell them to contact me ;o) Also, Kachingle. Perhaps a donation jar. But seriously, if you adore the comics and you know you do, buy a book, tell a friend, if you see someone advertising with me, buy something from their shop. These little things will help.
So, for those of you who joined me on this little adventure, thank you. To those who couldn’t afford to, that’s okay, enjoy the comics, send them to a pregnant mama who needs a laugh.
A great big oxytocin-filled hug to you,
Happy Buy Nothing Day,
Love,
Heather
ps. oh, and I also dismantled that blasted slider and the magazine theme squares, for those that are technical-lingo challenged that means my site now looks like a regular ol’ blog. It’s more user friendly. You’re welcome.
pss. Kind thoughts, happy thank yous, kisses, compliments, and rejoicing can happen in the comments below or on facebook. I’ll join you!
