(If you've enjoyed this, or other episodes of Please Hold, please consider making a donation to the "Dave Sim Fund" to help support Dave since Diamond Comic Distributors have gone out of business, cutting of a key source of Aardvark Vanaheim's revenue.)
((Matt doesn't get paid either since Sp*t*fy took over. But he's living comfortably, so you don't gotta sweat about him.))
