Figured. As we have discussed your target is too low. Going to have to figure out a way to raise your price to compensate for the insanity around us. You have nobly resisted any fundraising outside the annual but these are unique and worrisome circumstances and we cannot chance losing you. I would like to (firmly) suggest an auction of some of your valuables, separate from the swag you provide for donations. Pretty critical condition here.

I did raise prices $5 a level, and patrons are experiencing the same inflation I am.There is a momentum, a cadence, to fundraisers, and a ‘push’ is to maintain that, really.
I think we’ll get there, and there will be a new SciFi toon, HolyTera, that actually will be launched this year, finally!

Okay. Looking forward to the new ‘toon but this one is my focus for news, entertainment, and titillation.
Speaking of that last, if you were to knock out some live pencil drawings of the Ladies of the Double D…half a dozen characters each 8×10, detailed and signed, R rated art, post a pic of each right here and run a 24 hr sale starting at $1 and see where it goes…you would sell the piss out of them, unrelated and unaffected by the fundraiser. Being unwoke is not the same as awakened, and the world runs on $ for now, you gotta have more than you been getting!
Your place and your call but the thought outlined above would likely double your intake for the fund drive, wouldn’t that be nice? Sorry, not being pushy, just being supportive and a little concerned.

“only” non-woke strip?
Sorry, that is not true.
One of the best, but not the only.
We get enough hyperbole from the media
The only unwoke ‘toon that is Every Day No Days Off and comes with Chris Muir and the motley Band of Brothers (and Sisters) here, and in my case with the demise of Dilbert is the *only* ‘toon period. Are you familiar with any one-man online product of any persuasion that matches that incredible feat?
Also, please don’t mention media (spit) in the same breath as DBD. 😀
Dilbert is alive and well behind a subscription wall.
And Mr. Adam’s stuff is better than ever since he’s free of censors.
Comparing DBD to Dilbert is comparing apples to huge, juicy melons, so don’t go there. But apples are good too

True apples are good.
But those big juicy melons? Mmm mmm.
As to Scott, he’s gotta get Dilbert out from behind that wall; it’s a crypt.

Rarely does anything get to be “the only”, but that doesn’t mean you can’t be “the best”! Let’s argue about that 😉
I can’t verify this at all, but it may be the only comic completely reader supported, and that takes a big pair, or pairs as the case may be. Of course my favorite is a particular petite pair which is completely subjective. 🙂
All I have to add is this. I read the WSJ Daily. It is about as fair and honest as a large news agency can get. It is not overly leaning. There is still a lot of Left leaning articles. But at least it is balanced with Conservative also. Saying that, I’m amazed how often I have to look up a subject that Chris posts here in DBD. It is so up to the minute and fresh. I will continue to support Chris as he has earned it. BTW the artistry tied to the female anatomy is also fantastic. Just sayin’.
Perhaps in their world it’s the only one ?
Non-woke strips are rare in this one and ‘anti-woke’ even rarer but they do exist and there are even a few who skewer both sides when required, nothing is perfect and there are more than a few over the top things on the right that definitely need pointing out before someone takes them as gospel.
This one seems to be as ‘neutral’ as any, for some definitions of neutral 😉 https://stonetoss.com/
Fuck “neutral” OA…that ship sailed with the advent of the Zero.
And since Trump it has only grown and become more emboldened due to lack of pushback and response, to the point that they say anything and everything they want. So I have adopted their bible in these matters; Saul Alinsky had it exactly right, he just was preaching to the wrong choir.
So henceforth, everything they say and blame and accuse is turned around on them in every discussion and on every platform I can get to.
“need pointing out before someone takes them as gospel.”
Yer kinda showing your ass a bit with a statement like that, there is one side that takes narrative’s as gospel, and it ain’t this audience.
Trust but verify! Sound familiar at all? I assume (yes go ahead with a cliche if you like) that conservatives (the good kind) and Independents (the real kind) naturally do that with critical thinking skills. Others don’t, and it shows.
I don’t want to see anyone on the right stoop to the level of lies, deceit, half truths and utter bullsh!t the left has been using for many years.
It’s quite possible to take action and counter them without becoming them, and by ‘neutral’ I mean facts only, no hyperbole, no rewriting what you said later to claim you meant the opposite and no ‘fact checking’ using false ‘facts’.
In a neutral world that means two out of three outlooks are not left.
Just to be clear, there have been cases of people claiming to be on the right being just as conniving and anti-populace as those on the left and both of them need to go, politicians are supposed to be acting on behalf of the people, not against them for their own profit.
I’m also suspecting there are more than a few quislings who take every chance to deliberately spout the most ridiculous thing they can in order to give the media something to tar all conservatives with, they are working against us and that needs to be addressed as well, by pointing it out and laying it at the feet of the left from whence it came.

Yeah, that above. I was born in 1940, and when I was old enough to learn about the Supreme Court… to me, the were godlike, untouchable, and beyond avarice while being beholden to no one.
And now one of them went to Lolita Island, and the other used the absolute power of SCOTUS to steal money.
I am an old, disillusioned vet. I volunteered to serve my country.
Every institution in my government has now joined the Dark Side. FBI/CIA/DOJ/yada, culminating with the destruction of SCOTUS integrity.
And like virginity, you cannot get it back.
Chris Muir — You are better than Dilbert. More detailed, varied, nuanced, timely, clever.
I like the auction idea. I do NOT want fiat to get in the way of critical art.

Chris, can you expand on the “month early due to bidenflation”?
Fundraiser usually starts in June but high inflation costs used up a month of last year’s budget.

No brag, just fact, as Will Sonnett would say…

Thanks to readers, DBD has always been 100% reader supported (had a few google ads for a few years until they blocked me).
Because of the singular honor of such patrons DBD lives.
And, their big pairs.
Hope you don’t mind the scars on some of the Big Pairs 😉
Old lady sports a petite pair, thank God, but the marks from birthing our babies all those years ago? Beauty marks.
We aren’t going to leave you uncovered. “Naked and Alone” was a phony “reality” fake.
Troll alert. Of today’s negative comments, 2 are trolls I spammed out, 2 I’ve never heard of, and 1 who has never contributed.
Comments are for readers and patrons only.
Some cleanup is still necessary on aisle 5/1.

Yep, S.Alinsky had it right. Perfect example:
