Curious where the $16.50 on my self-published comic goes? I drew this to explain so you get an idea about the costs. #transparency (By the way, 955 books sold! 🎉 thank-you-thank-you-thank-you!)

I was inspired to expand this into a full article to give myself a bit more space to talk about the issues:

777 Books sold since the release two weeks ago! Thank you! 🎉 I hope you'll get the geek joke.( I'm not worrying a lot on Mastodon 😇 ). My 'Special Launch Offer' sale ends on Saturday 31, in three days. Will it reach 1000? That would be amazing. Last chance to get them while they're cheap!

Youtube-dl is a legitimate tool with a world of a lawful uses. Demanding its removal from Github is a disappointing and counterproductive move by the RIAA. https://github.com/github/dmca/blob/master/2020/10/2020-10-23-RIAA.md

So nice of the RIAA to advertise this youtube-dl tool! Maybe someone didn't know about it. Really appreciated!
