This newsletter is made with serious love. I've selected and partnered with some of the funniest indie comic artists in the world. This daily newsletter will put a smile on your face.
Hi everyone!
First off, a special thanks to the product whisperer, @chrismessina, for the hunt. The man's a machine; please fuel him with some Ko-fi (https://ko-fi.com/chris).
So...what is The Funnies?
The Funnies is a daily email newsletter that features 5 amazing web comics from the best contemporary artists in the world. The comics are hand-picked by the artists and are featured at random so no two readers will get the same daily comics.
I created this newsletter both as an nod towards a simpler time, when you'd flip to the back of the Sunday newspaper to read Garfield, Peanuts, Curtis, etc, but also as a means to support these incredibly talented artists.
Artists get 80% of the revenue the newsletter brings in. What makes this route of monetization unique for artists is that one user subscription contributes to the entire collective of artists, instead of the usual 1-to-1 patronage a la platforms like Patreon. I think a collective subscription model works well for this type of content (more value for the subscriber) and I'd love to see more opportunities arise for creators to band together and offer their services as a package.
If you like comedy or social commentary, you'll love this newsletter. It features humor ranging from dark absurdism to cringe dad puns to cute, wholesome moments.
My plan is to eventually introduce a way for you, the reader, to personalize the types of comics you see so the newsletter then becomes an extension of your own personal brand of humor.
I'd love to hear your thoughts. Tell me what makes you laugh.
