They had me at hello. If by hello, you mean this, of course:
I have a running joke (with myself) that I try hard not to swear on VP because the purer the site gets the funnier (again, to me) the site’s name is. Which makes it hard to talk about the zine soyfucker, but they invoked the power of hammer pants, so we all must make sacrifices for the greater good.
And the good is greater than it would seem: two American dollars gets you the electronic copy (there’s a paper copy if you’d prefer the artifact in your hands, which I respect, and it’s only $2 as well,) it features all vegan artists, and the money for issue 2 goes to the Deep Roots Sanctuary in Indiana. I can’t think of a way to make this more of a win, so please check it out – it’s a collection of stories, and not all of them were “for me,” but at 32 pages I feel like I would have gotten my money’s worth even if the proceeds went to something silly like rent.
But wait, there’s more!
OK, I want to try something here, so I’m going to sweeten the deal: if you buy the paper or electronic copy of soyfucker, forward your receipt email to jason at veganporn.com and I’ll email you a webcomic from back in the early days of VP (maybe circa 2003, but that’s a guess.) It’s the semi-infamous “dill dough” strip, which some of you may remember, and some of you have asked for in the past. I don’t think it’s available online anywhere, and this is your only official way to get this anytime soon. Oh, and you can edit the receipt as needed if you don’t want me getting your address and stuff, and I’m not going to do anything with your email other than send you the comic.
So, to recap:
- Go buy the comic.
- Email the (possibly edited) receipt to me.
- Get a bonus comic while helping out a sanctuary and encouraging vegan art projects.
All it’ll take is two dollars and probably less time than it took to read this post. And do it before Friday, August 27 because, as Vince says, you know we can’t do this all day!
