Letter from the editor:

We've almost made it. We're just over 400 members away from our launch goal of 3,000 members, and we need your help to reach that goal. I know we've said this before, but as an independent publication we really do need this lifeline from our new members to continue bringing you Hyperallergic through the next few months. Thank you to everyone who has been generous in their support of our work so far. This is a critical moment for us, and we can't get through it without you.

Our exclusive member totes are now being printed and the first ones should start shipping to members in the next few weeks! PLUS we're super excited to partner with OVID to provide all of our new members with three months of OVID.tv, so you can dig into their library of some of the best independent films and documentaries online. All members will be getting an email with details about this offer next week. Join us as a member and get on the list today!

We're starting this week off with a comic from one of our favorite comic artists, CM Campbell, who reminds us why stories in the art community matter.
