DECEMBER 19 UPDATE:
FOR SIGN-UPS 12/19 TO 12/24, THE $25 DONATION WILL BE MADE TO DOCTORS WITHOUT BORDERS, NOT COMMITTEE TO PROTECT JOURNALISTS.
I've generated donations for the Committee to Protect Journalists for over two weeks, and I'm so grateful to those who joined me in supporting that important organization. I've decided that for the last six days of the Inner Hive Drive (through 12/24), for every INNER HIVE sign-up, a $25 donation will be made to Doctors Without Borders, which provides vital medical aid where it's most needed, including the catastrophe currently occurring in Aleppo.

With Donald Trump's election, I join many in thinking about ways in which we can donate to organizations that will counteract the anticipated effects of his presidency.
One of the ways I want to do my part is in supporting the Committee to Protect Journalists. They do amazing, vital work protecting the rights, freedom and lives of journalists (including cartoonists) around the world, and stand ready to do so in the United States.

If you were thinking about joining Tom the Dancing Bug's INNER HIVE, now's the time to do it.
FROM NOW UNTIL 12/24/16,
more the DOUBLE your INNER HIVE sign-up charge will be donated to the Committee to Protect Journalists, which promotes Freedom of the Press.
When you join the INNER HIVE, you get each week's Tom the Dancing Bug comic emailed to you at least one day before it's published, along with commentary, puns, profuse apologies, preliminary art, palindromes, additional comics, "content", yummy recipes, architectural blueprints, folk remedies, secret treasure maps, etc. The cost of membership is only $11.95 per six months.
And through 12/24, when you pay that $11.95 for the first six months, $25 will be donated to help defend the rights of journalists and cartoonists to report and comment on the news without fear of reprisal. I believe that promoting a free press is one of the most effective ways to help the citizens of repressive nations, by exposing corruption, government malfeasance and war crimes.
And unfortunately, under the Trump administration, I believe the fight for a free press in the United States is going to enter one of its most challenging and dangerous chapters in history.
How else can you get exclusive access to stupid comics AND help the journalists of world and the U.S. make their countries a better place to live?

Thank you for your support of Tom the Dancing Bug and the power of Freedom of Speech.
