e adult position. Because if you say to them, well you know it's not either or. It could be somewhere in between. Could be a little bit of this. Most people will agree with you that it's somewhere in between. They will immediately go to the adult position because it's embarrassing to stay at the kids' table when you've already moved to the adult table and said something as adult as, well you know it's not as clean as this or that. You know there's a lot of gray area in the middle. Almost everybody in person will come with you.

But if you're talking on Twitter you don't have the back and forth. And so they could just sort of keep their weird position because it's Twitter. So I wouldn't even bother on Twitter. But in real life, in real life you just pointed out they'll come with you. Because nobody stays at the kids' table when you're sitting right next to them at the adult table talking like an adult. They just have to join you or else they just feel like the child in the conversation. It works every time. So thanks for the question. Hey, thank you. Rarely do I have advice that is that clean and useful.

I don't know if this is a name or a label or even if this will work because it looks like we're not connecting. All right, looks like that didn't work. Let's try someone else. I think people get stage fright when I select them.

Let's take Cassandra. Cassandra, are you there? Hi. Do you have a question for me, Cassandra? It's been so long since we talked.

I was wondering, you can use in your job and stuff like that and I'm wondering are you going digital? Is there other ways that we can promote you and build us better?

Oh you're the best. Yeah. So the background on that is I've gotten the cat's on the roof. A letter from my syndication company. Cat's on the roof is reference to warning that there's big trouble ahead. At the moment the cat's on the roof but it's not looking good. So by the end of the year I would not be surprised if I'm not a cartoonist anymore because there just won't be newspapers. And there may not be enough advertising that even the online stuff works.

So of course I'm not going to be the guy who's complaining because we live in a world where I'm still in better shape than just about everybody. So I'm not going to complain about it. I'm just going to tell you what it is because I think it's good that we all know what everybody's situation is rather than complaining about it.

Will any of those pick you up? Magazines or any of those, will they pick you up?

Well no, because magazines are all going out of business too. They're not really big customers. So here's what I'm doing. I'm moving to a non-advertising based model. So some of my material will be on Locals, locals.com. So I've already moved this. That's a subscriber site so you can see everything that you can see here will also be there conveniently. But it has a bunch of features that you won't have here. It's material that you all have here. So I'll be putting special micro lessons there, things that you won't get anywhere else. So the people who find the most value can simply pay a small amount subscription and they can get it. And those who don't care will go watch something else.

So I'm kind of drawn to the subscription process partly because it's optional. Nobody has to do it. And partly because I'm more comfortable in a situation where somebody says, oh I got value so I'll give you some money that's equal to that value. I'm always most comfortable there. The whole advertising thing feels like I'm giving somebody something for free but then they're penalized by watching a commercial they didn't want to watch. It's just not ideal. I like, here's a dollar, here's a dollar's worth of value. We both win. Everybody goes home happy.

So I have a great host of that. And so far the subscription service, you can find it at locals.com and just search for my name. So far it's working well. People are signing up. I didn't know how that would go but it's going great. So anybody who wants to support me going forward, that would be my preferred way to do it. Because that way you get something for your mon
