subscribe to gapingvoid
(Please click here to subscribe. Thanks)
I do a monthly newsletter to my friends, where I send them a link to all the new cartoons, to keep them up-to-date, give them the gossip etc. Signing up (and/or buying the occasional box of blogcards) is the best way to support to the site.
Click here to join and it'll take you to the page. Scroll down, and in the field at the bottom, type in your e-mail and a password of your choice. I'll fix the page to look "nice" when I get around to it etc etc.
Back when the subscription list was only a dozen or so people, I also included JPEG cartoons. As it grew and the spam filters got more fussy, I built this website to show the new work to everybody. Far more efficient.
The general understanding I have with people is that I don't mind people copying the work to post on their own websites or to e-mail to their friends etc, so long as I get some form of copyrighted credit and maybe a link back to gapingvoid.
Also, I'd rather you make a copy and host it on your own server than 'hot-link' directly from me. If your website won't allow that, fair enough, then just hot-link. But please save my bandwidth and use your own server if you can.
The other thing to do is just to syndicate the website via RSS. That works just as well.
Anyway, the new letter is going out in a couple of days. I hope you'll sign up if you haven't already.
Thanks =)
