I drew a dick on all your sweatshirts

[sovay]

I was woken early by a medical phone call and overslept in consequence when I fell back asleep; I dreamed that I overslept and when I got out of bed in the mid-afternoon the sky was dead black and the block was lightless and there was the faintest dull bronze edge like a sunset against the buildings and it went out as I watched, leaving dry stars and no light anywhere, including in our apartment. "Did we miss an eclipse?" we asked one another, knowing it wasn't an eclipse; there was neither moon nor sun in the sky. I turned on Bertie and he was flickering and dying and full of sexual spam, which seemed like an especially insulting touch to the apparent end of the world. None of the phones worked. I woke before anything else happened, which in a dream like that it might never have at all.

Signal-boosting a Kickstarter of the dead makes me feel a little like one of those reminders of mortality in a Roman triumph, but as of this posting we are just under two thousand dollars from the first issue being free to read for everyone the second it drops, so please remember that you are mortal and there's art in it.

(If you are no longer mortal, please support our art all the same. Obols are an acceptable form of pledge, as are pomegranate seeds, salt and violets, black beans, incense, water, and beer. Copper ingots will be returned with extreme prejudice to Ea-nasir.)

I find this cartoon charming in its own right, but the description really makes it.

Yowzers, bold ask--go for it! I expect supernaturally great things, now.

I love that Renfields cartoon so much.

Being a bit tired, though not from terrifying apocalyptic dreams, I started a long rumination about whether, should I pay with any of the coin of the immortals suggested, I might thereby become one.

But I'm pretty sure the rules do not allow it, and have relapsed upon a credit card instead.

If we get a mysterious mega-backer . . .

"rubio is smiling with one hand extended, and frye is gasping while looking tremendously insulted."

I appreciate this form of support, however mundane it might be deemed by the unperishing.

You, we'd trust!

I’m picturing Ignatz Mouse hurling one like a brick.

I backed that Kickstarter, and I'm looking forward to the magazine. Shimmer was a great magazine, and it's good to see some of the people from that involved in this project.

Thank you so much! Honestly, I am looking forward too.
