Welcome to the first issue of The asher Newsletter. I really appreciate all of you for signing up! I’ve been told that it’s important to under promise, over deliver, so I’ll just say this: now that you’re subscribed, you will never die and you will have amazing sex every day.

I sincerely have no idea where you all are. It would be incredible to find out that 100% of you are in Toledo or something. Needless to say, if that were the case, Ohio, here I come!

  3. Oh, and one small thing: The Late Show, where I work, got canceled last night. On a totally unrelated note, it would mean a lot if 10,000 of you became paid subscribers right now. Just a fun, random thought!

Here’s a cartoon to kick off your weekend:

And here are three things that I enjoyed this week that I think you might enjoy as well:

  1. This cartoon from my nemesis Ellis Rosen:

  1. This quote from Chris Williamson: “Perfectionism is procrastination masquerading as quality control.”

  2. This article about how sloths do, in fact, fart (featuring a short video where a sloth in a bath tub, in fact, farts).

Finally, for paid subscribers, here are some bonus cartoons from me that you can’t find anywhere else (again, could be fun!):
