Send an email with the subject "Publication Request" and as many details as possible to:
PRINT SYNDICATION. TFD/MTTS comics are syndicated weekly in 26 alt-weekly and college papers. If you want to see TFD/MTTS in your favorite magazine or your local paper, send a POLITE note to the editor, with a link to the site, and a request to syndicate our comics. Papers/magazines that run TFD/MTTS have their choice of comics to run, in any order, and can choose from over 2800 different comics. If you work for a PRINT publication and want to run TFD/MTTS daily or weekly, send an email with the subject "Syndication Request" to: Please include the name, location, and approx. circulation of your publication when you write.
ONLINE SYNDICATION. For online syndication rates, send an email with the subject "Online Syndication" to: Please include the name, url, and traffic figures for your website when you write.
We do not offer online syndication for free. You may not run a daily syndication or "feed" of TFD/MTTS on your website, RSS or otherwise, without explicit written permission. We do not offer an "RSS Feed." If you want to view the daily comics, visit the sites. They update at midnight. B-B-B-BUT I WANT AN RSS FEED! WAH! When it boils down to it, Drew is a chemist-turned-cartoonist who spends an inordinate amount of time writing Perl scripts that write PHP code which outputs HTML. If he seems cranky about this, it's because he went into chemistry a decade ago to avoid writing code for computers. If you angry nerds out there want to rage against the machine, you might do well to pick a better machine. You'd be tired of the nerd rage too, if you spent all day optimizing your server cluster to serve free comics over the World Wide Web, only to get a nasty email from a reader saying they'll never look at your comic again because you won't provide it in a special nerdy format that will interface with their Warcraft. USE / REUSE / INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY GUIDELINES. You may display TFD/MTTS/ND comics on your website, blog, Myspace, Livejournal, etc. as long as you link back to toothpastefordinner.com / marriedtothesea.com / nataliedee.com. The box marked "Cut/paste this HTML code" next to every comic does this for you. You may not publish TFD/MTTS/ND in print, on television, or other media, without prior permission, unless it is part of an accompanying article about TFD/MTTS/ND. You may not operate a daily "feed" of TFD/MTTS/ND. You may not imprint TFD/MTTS/ND on merchandise without prior permission. You may not use all or part of a TFD/MTTS/ND comic as a design element on your own website without prior permission. FINALLY. If you ever see a store, online or off, selling TFD/MTTS/ND merchandise of any kind, email Drew. There's a reward in it for you. There are no current licensees for Toothpaste For Dinner, Married To The Sea, or Natalie Dee merchandise. |
