Glad that you're back writing for my $5 a month. I'm a shit boss paying shit wages but I do appreciate your efforts.

John: Gosh - how I have missed you! Rooly trooly! The only decent reading these days in the former Fairfax now Nine media papers (The SMH/The Age) is in the Letters columns. And one or two by-liners. I think you may be the only journalist/political commentator who actually calls a spade just that - not some other fancy wank-name trying to convince us it's an iced cup cake! (That image only springs to mind because my wife has been doing some baking along with many other kinds of house-proud activities in these more-or-less shut-down days. And I get to release the inner-kid and lick the beaters, scrape the bowls!) You've just got my subscription because Scott gave me some spending money! In every dark cloud there emerges a silver lining! So good to read you again...Best wishes in this post-Easter resurrection! Jim K

Any thought to bringing the old ASB back catalog to Substack? I've bought Seven Stages, but would prefer it in this format.

In a similar vein, would happily shell out money for eBook versions of Off Ones Tits and Dopeland - have dead tree versions somewhere in storage at my folks but would love to reread again. I assume neither available because of licensing or contractual issues?
