This sort of confrontation never actually happened, but I always feel like it whenever anyone tries to give money anyway. See, here’s the thing: the face painting isn’t just free because I’m such an altruistic guy, it’s ‘cos that’s the[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
Lest you should think I’m complaining, this makes perfect sense. The single greatest promotional tool Conventional Wisdom has is word of mouth from friends, particularly friends who themselves made appearances in the comic. Thus, to a WHOLE lot of people,[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
