Figured it out thanks So uh how do we buy The Onion?
I have always felt like The Onion lacked a comics section.
I mean, Stan Kelly is one of the all time greats but I would love a few more comics in there.
Yes... hoot hoot hoot... yes
I personally would like to see some @jonrosenberg.bsky.social comics in there
they could run superosity
Thye could run it from the beginning, one every ten minutes for the next decade
Bring back Pathetic Geek Stories!
Oooooh! Yes! And with the Nib shut down, there’s a whole niche there that still needs to be filled!
You could even fill it with The Nib and hire Matt and Mattie and the gang
THIS IS THE BEST IDEA I'VE HEARD ALL DAY!
The AV Club is a separate sub-brand, no reason you couldn't do it the same way
I’ve got like $40 grand to blow, do you think they’ll take the offer
Matt Mattie and *Matthew*
YES! There’s a whole bunch of cartoonists who got stranded by that whole situation, I’m sure most of them are available!
not back when AV Club was part of the show
If I was funding media outlets I would revive that and then revive The Nib and fold all three under the same banner
I donated $10 to the Onion. I'd donate $100 to anyone who brought The Nib back from the dead.
I've funded The Nib before and I would do it again in a heartbeat
I believe I have all of the quarterly collections because as soon as they started the subscription I was VERY HAPPY to throw money at it
One of my great joys: My deadname* and dead portrait (by Mattie Lubchansky) are in the "Death" issue!
(*it's still a pretty live name for me, but you get the idea)
Get Tom Tomorrow @tomtomorrow.bsky.social and Ruben Bolling @rubenbolling.bsky.social back up in this
Me looking for the comics section on the Onion:
Okay, this is absolutely true, but back in the early 00's the print edition of the Onion I could pick up while living in San Francisco did have a comics section, including a right-wing comic strip called The Leftersons.
To this day I have never understood it's inclusion in that paper, in that city.
Could get a few people who were on the Nib? As a non American I stumbled over that site late and was rather sad to see its carcass amongst the fallen
honestly the best thing that's happened on the internet in a while, this fucking rules
Ben can you buy google search next
DO NOT BUY GOOGLE SEARCH BEN
This is true. The Onion is one of the best things that’s ever happened, and knowijg it’s in safe hands is incredible
This is a long game I can appreciate.
Exactly--now the sickos run the asylum...
hi Ben, I am like, pretty funny for a woman and also a professional writer, I’m just saying!
@bencollins.bsky.social Q would have some absolute banger articles for The Onion!
personally i think if ben doesn't hire q to write several features it's because he doesn't like women
Pretty funny period! No qualifier required!
OH MY GOD YOU REALLY DID IT
ben are you fucking with me right now i'm too stoned to figure this out
