My Crowdfunding Comics ebook guide was released as ‘pay what you like’ back in 2021 and it’s been downloaded over 1000 times now.

Times are tough, so I put a meagre £3 piece tag on it, and haven’t had a download since. There’s 9 years worth of experience in that book 😅 🤷‍♂️

@TherapyComics @FeelingSketchy @marinomi Maybe it's geo locked or something ?

[John Pollard @PollardPsych]

@FeelingSketchy @adlewis @marinomi Haha I definitely believe you! Thanks for your persistence in trying out different links Cody. Maybe I'll get to read it one day 😄

[John Pollard @PollardPsych]

@FeelingSketchy @adlewis @marinomi Thato e didn't work either I'm afraid. No idea what's going on.

[John Pollard @PollardPsych]

@FeelingSketchy @adlewis @marinomi Bless your heart for trying 😄. There's no escape from the twins it seems.

[John Pollard @PollardPsych]

@FeelingSketchy @marinomi The twins are going nowhere it seems. Thanks for trying though!

[John Pollard @PollardPsych]

@FeelingSketchy @marinomi Takes me to the same sad twins I'm afraid 😳

Hot tip for anyone looking for a new comics laureate: it's @mrphoenix

@thenib It's really so sad to hear this. I've always thought The Nib was a terrific achievement every time I had a copy land on my doormat. Pulling all those stories together with such focus every month. Really interesting commentary. Loads of talent in every element of it. Gutted.
