How to Soothe Hurt Feelings

Today marks the end of Snakehead Games' (makers of the MMOs Star Pirates and Spy Battle 2165) sponsorship of this site. I hope you'll all join me in thanking them. They seem like a great group of people, and have been nothing but pleasant to work with.

On a more negative note, I started removing the sponsorship ads and putting back the traditional internet banner ads this morning. The first ad that popped up was an auto playing video ad, and I just said "enough".

I've replaced the ads with banners for Amazon. A couple of them are pretty generic at the moment, but in time all of them will be ads for specific items I personally endorse or use. As always, anything you purchase after clicking on the ads, or my affiliate links (US, UK, Canada) will send a small sum of money my way without costing you a dime. 

Thanks for your continued patience and support.

How to Explain How You Did It

Basic Instructions is sponsored by Snakehead Games, the makers of the MMOs Star Pirates and Spy Battle 2165.

A couple of quick notes:

Missy had one of her Draw Something drawings featured on Good Morning America. She’s written a blog post about it. Yes, I am aware that she’s a better artist than I am.

The  Amazon Affiliate links  (US, UK, Canada) is still doing great, and the subscription service continues its slow, steady climb. Thanks again to everybody who has subscribed! To those who haven’t, I would point out that I’ve gotten into the habit of including a brief commentary about whatever comic I’m sending out. Just saying.

Many of you have pointed out that Ruben Bolling, creator of the always excellent Tom the Dancing Bug has started a subscription service of his own. I just want to say that I’ve had no contact with Mr. Bolling (Aside from reading his comic every week). I have no reason to believe or disbelieve that he got the idea from me, and even if he did, I’m cool with it. It's not like I invented the concept of a subscription.
