Okay, here are the ground rules.

I get a lot of email. Don't take it personally if I don't respond--it's not you, it's me. I do try to look at everything that comes in, but there are only so many hours in the day. Please keep it short and sweet, and no attachments please--they go immediately into the trash unopened.

Do not add me to your mailing lists. My inbox is clogged enough as it is. You'll just be added to my email filter list and then nothing you send will ever make it through again.

And please read the FAQ, particularly if you're new to the site or the cartoon.

Reprint requests

Read this before sending them to me.

This is important:

Don't send me anything you're not willing to stand behind publicly. Any mail I receive may be posted on the blog, along with your email address. If you ask me nicely, I'll respect your anonymity, but senders of scatological and/or semi-literate, hate-filled screeds will receive no such courtesy, and are likely to find themselves held up for public ridicule and scorn, with perhaps a dash of mockery thrown in for good measure. I'm accountable for my words, in an open and public forum, and so I figure you are too. If you're not comfortable with that, don't write.

But if I haven't scared you off, please--write to the address below. (Sorry, no hotlink--I've had too much trouble with spambots snagging my email address recently.)
