🎁 Give the gift of Tom the Dancing Bug

This holiday season, you can give that special someone(s) a 2025 Gift Membership(s) to Tom the Dancing Bug’s INNER HIVE.

That’s right, you can give a loved one / friend / frenemy a membership to the INNER HIVE, and from the moment you sign them up (e.g., today?) and throughout 2025 they will receive the weekly INNER HIVE emails containing:

👉 that week’s Tom the Dancing Bug comic, at least a day before it’s published anywhere online; and

👉 exclusive commentary, extra comics, contests, giveaways, word-find puzzles, and advice for the lovelorn, juicy gossip, jokes and palindromes, etc.

👉 and all other benefits and privileges of membership conferred.

$59.99. Simply sign up here, by entering the recipient’s name and the email address the INNER HIVE mailings should be sent to. Then click the “Buy Now” button.

It is for you to inform the recipient of the gift. The recipient will simply receive the next INNER HIVE email after you sign them up. I do provide you with a spiffy and festive graphic announcing the gift that you can use.

*You can also use the above form to RENEW an existing gift membership.*

Alternatively, $77.00 annual and $7 monthly gift subscriptions through Substack can be purchased here. These annual subscriptions last for exactly one year from the time of sign-up, and recipients will receive the weekly Inner Hive emails, but also weekly Tom the Dancing Bug Review emails. (Note: the page calls it a “The Tom the Dancing Bug Review Subscription,” but because it is paid, it is also an Inner Hive subscription.)

Update 11/17: You can now give a gift membership of any number of months, up to a year, with multiple choices of tiers, on Patreon, here.

UPDATE 11/17: You can now give a gift membership of any amount of months up to a year on Patreon.

IT’S THE GIFT THAT KEEPS GIVING, EVERY DING-DONG WEEK, UNTIL IT STOPS.

Thank you, and have a Merry/Happy Everything.
