Three Substacks, One Roof: Getting More Bang for Your Buck

Hello! It's Jason here. I've got some big news to share that I'm very excited about. You can watch the quick video above, or read the post below.

Starting this week, I'm officially combining all three of my Substacks into one glorious pile of cartoon mayhem under the New York Cartoons banner. Don't worry—this isn't some kind of hostile corporate takeover. It's more like when your favorite local restaurants decide to share a prep kitchen to save on rent.

What This Means For You

Instead of subscribing to three separate Substacks, you now get access to everything under one roof:

• New York Cartoons: My life as a cartoonist and comedian in Manhattan, complete with essays, sketchbooks, and tales of me navigating this ridiculous city

• Process Junkie: Behind-the-scenes looks at how I create cartoons, books, and jokes, with all the tools and techniques I've picked up over 20+ years

• Is There Something In This?: My podcast with Scott Dooley, where we have our weekly writers' meeting and come up with ideas for The New Yorker

And as a bonus, you'll still get my "Draw Me Anything" livestreams every Thursday at 3pm Eastern, where I draw whatever weird things you request for 30 minutes.

A Tiny Price Change

With all this extra content now available, there's a small change— While the annual price will remain the same, the monthly subscription is going from $5 to $6. I know, I know... tariffs have come for us all. If you were already subscribing to Process Junkie at $7, you're actually saving a buck, so... you're welcome?

Why I'm Doing This

This whole freelance cartoonist/comedian thing is my entire existence. I don't have a day job or a side hustle. I've been writing jokes, drawing cartoons for 20+ years, and this is literally all I do. Your support means I get to keep creating in my own voice without some editor looking over my shoulder, killing good jokes or telling me to adhere to a house style.

Plus, it means I can feed Morris, who basically just sits in my studio and farts all day. He's a very hungry boy and is currently resting his chin on my leg as I type this, looking up at me with those "I haven't eaten in 9 minutes" eyes.

To get the most out of your subscription and also to keep this work going, please consider becoming a paid subscriber by upgrading below:

Opting In or Out

I get it—maybe you signed up for my tales of New York absurdity, but couldn't care less about brush recommendations. That's totally fine! You can opt in or out of any of these content streams right here. I'm not here to flood your inbox with stuff you don't want.

So, thank you for being here. Thank you for subscribing. I'm grateful that I get to do this weird job of mine, and I hope you enjoy all the extra goodies that'll be coming your way!

Your pal,

PS. Oh, and Morris says hello…
