GIVE THE GIFT THAT KEEPS ON GIVING, EVERY TOM-THE-DANCING-BUG WEEK

This holiday season, why not give yourself the gift of Tom the Dancing Bug?

 

Simply click on this link, and you can join the exclusive INNER HIVE to get each week's comic at least a day before it's published, plus other content, like commentary, bonus comics, sketches, inside info, etc.

 

AND / OR:

 

You can give the gift of Tom the Dancing Bug to a friend / loved one / enemy (I don't really care how you feel about the recipient).

 

Simply click on this link, insert the recipient's email address and name, then enter your credit card number when prompted (no need to click the Remember Me button), and, Presto, you're not quite done.  

Because MailChimp (the subscription service) will not subscribe someone against their will, they will send a confirmation email to the address and require a response in order to start the subscription.  Finding out about the gift by getting an impersonal, puzzling email from MailChimp could sort of take the fun out of the present.  

So I recommend that you beat MailChimp to it by announcing your gift by email right when you set this up, and mention that a confirmation email from MailChimp will arrive.  This way, when your pal gets that MailChimp email, he/she will have already been overcome with surprise/gratitude/good will, will understand what it's about, and will be ready to respond and begin enjoying the benefits and privileges of INNER HIVE membership.

 

Thank you, and have a Merry Everything, everyone!

UPDATE 12/23/15:  I've discovered that there is one bug in this system.  Once your friend has been signed up, the subscription will keep renewing every six months until he/she cancels it.  So, in order to give you, the gift-giver, control over the length of this gift, please email me at the time you make the gift, to inform me the name of the new subscriber and the fact that it is a gift from you.  I'll keep this information on file, and then you have the ability to terminate the gift subscription by emailing me at the time you'd like it to end.

BACK TO SCHOOL

I'm having a great time visiting schools to talk about cartooning and my new book series for kids, The EMU Club Adventures.  Here I am with colleague Chris Giarusso at the Rebecca School presenting to their proud & mighty Comic Book Club.

This was a particularly fun time — the kids were off-the-charts excited, enthusiastic and full of awesome ideas.
