As you may know, I'm doing this comic strictly as a hobby. That means, that I do not want to earn money with it, because I think that money is a corrupting influence for any creative works. There is a merch store, and I'd love it if you bought stuff from there (although the last sale was over a year ago), but it's configured to be non-profit, so none of the proceeds from those sales go to me. There is no advertisements on this site and I don't collect any data about you. In fact, I don't even know if anyone reads this. This is all fine by me and by design, since I consider this to be a nice counterbalance to the increasingly capitalistic world we live in, where doing something like this becomes increasingly absurd.
That being said, I am willing to make one single exception, for the sake of this joke. So if you, or anyone you know, is affiliated with a company that makes or sells buckets, please get in touch. I'd be willing to do a sponsored comic, promoting your brand of bucket. You wouldn't even need to pay me much, but I couldn't do it for free, because that would defeat the purpose of the joke. In fact, I'd even be willing to do it if you just send me a free bucket.
I would find it hilarious if this works, although I have very low hopes. I don't think a lot of people are reading these comics. Don't expect a bucket promotion comic any time soon. But it's ok to dream sometimes...
