Hey, you guys.
Last week, I started a subscription plan for my weekly comic strip, Tom the Dancing Bug, which appears here on Boing Boing. It’s called the INNER HIVE, and I’m so grateful for the response it’s gotten. I have high hopes that it’s a step in the direction of financial viability for comics in this digital age.
I was stunned when TV Personality and Superstar John Hodgman not only publicly endorsed (and joined!) the INNER HIVE, he made an impassioned case for this model of artist sustainability. I was further stunned when Author and Superstar Neil Gaiman also publicly endorsed the INNER HIVE (and joined!). If these guys think I'm on to something, maybe I'll start to believe it myself.
Below is the original statement I made announcing the plan last week. PLEASE JOIN THE FUN AND HELP MAKE IT HAPPEN!
