Hello, All!
This portion of this week’s Inner Hive Dispatch is going out to not only the Inner Hive, but also the greater population of Substack subscribers of the (free) Tom the Dancing Bug Review.
This is the last time I can remind the Inner Hive about the special Tom the Dancing Bug "Holiday Six-Pak" offer.
The offer expires in less than a week, December 9, which is just before the last date I think you can comfortably count on the package getting to its destination in time for the holidays (I send them by USPS Media Mail, which in my extensive experience takes 3-8 days, but you never know).
So I’m getting the last word out to everybody.
For the "Holiday Six-Pak," you can buy all six existing books in The Complete Tom the Dancing Bug collection, compiling every single Tom the Dancing Bug comic from 1999-2023, plus the other freelance comics I did in that span, each book personalized (if requested) and signed (even if not requested).
You get all six books, plus two stickers and three exclusive "'Artist's' Edition" pdfs, for the low price of $179.99.
INFORMATION ON PURCHASING THE TOM THE DANCING BUG "HOLIDAY SIX-PAK" IS HERE.
You can also order the "Holiday Grateful Eight-Pak" at that link and get the two adjunct books for the collection: The Super-Fun-Pak Comix Reader, and Tom the Dancing Bug, Without the Bad Ones.
AND you can still buy the books one or two at a time, with a hand-drawn illustration, at THIS LINK.
FINALLY (last plug): If you prefer your gifts to be virtual instead of physical:
This year there are now three (3) ways to give a Tom the Dancing Bug Gift Inner Hive Membership, and impose the gift of Tom the Dancing Bug on your loved/liked ones this holiday season!
