I'm thinking about properly archiving my Nix Comics correspondence. A little daunting as I have around 400+ conversations with each of my regular contributors like @bobraystarker.bsky.social... Who sent me this headshot of Bus Stop Ned early on in our conversations.

Still running the 500 Cents off sale and I've added a section of "Used-Dings-Dents" copies!

Every purchase, big or small, helps me avoid using the DEMON KICKSTARTER ever again!
