Further down the scroll, we list the permanent departments of this website, but before we get to the list, here are a few words from our sponsor:
Subscriber/Gratis
$ubscriber/Associate
One,
as you can plainly tell from the conspicuous dollar sign, involves money—that
is, paying a subscription fee, a Paltry Amount, as you’ll find out in a trice.
The other category is available to the Known Universe without charge—that is,
gratis, free, inexpensive. Both categories of Subscriber require that you give
us your e-mail address by filling out the blanks in the upper right-hand corner
above. Then we’ll be able to send you an e-notice, a Rabbit Habit Alert,
whenever we post something new or hare-brained to Happy Harv’s Homepage. In
short, if you’re on our e-list, you’ll be notified of every thrilling new
installment of Rants & Raves or Harv’s Hindsights (our comics history
and cartooning lore niche). We post something new in one or the other
department just about every other week.
Subscriber/Gratis. As a Subscriber/Gratis, you’ll receive the bi-weekly
Rabbit Habit Alert, which blurts out a summary of what we’ve just posted. And
you’ll be able to order Harv’s books from the Online Store and to buy other
valuable tomes from our Book Sale listing of rare and slightly used volumes,
which we up-date about twice a year (click on Books). Many of these are surplus
review copies that Harv receives but doesn’t have the bookshelf space to keep;
they’re virtually new. And you can browse the contents listings for both Rants
& Raves (in the Archive) and Harv’s Hindsights. But, alas, you can’t get to
the actual content without becoming a $ubscriber/Associate. Well, you saw that
coming, right? To get an idea of what you’re missing by not becoming a
$ubscriber/Associate, click on either (or both) the Archive or Hindsights at
the left and scroll down the nearly endless list of Informative Articles and
Essays. What a treasure trove, eh?
$ubscriber/Associate. For the entire hare-razing experience, you should pay
our Miserably Low Subscription Fee. Then you’ll have unfettered access to the
full range of rancid raves (the current postings of news and reviews as well as
everything in the Archive, which goes back to May 1999) plus all of Harv’s Hindsight
articles (which start in May 2000). You’ll also receive the bi-weekly Rabbit
Habit Alert telling you that Something Fresh has just been posted. The
Pitifully Cheap Subscription Fee is only $3.95 for the first trial month; then
just $3.95 every quarter thereafter—that is, once every three months, merely
$1.32/month, tovarich. We generate the equivalent of about 15-20 printed-out
pages every other week, so that’s like a 30-40-page monthly magazine. Where
else can you get a 30-40 page magazine of comics news and reviews and
cartooning lore for $1.32 a month? Nowhere, that’s where. Except here. To join
the swelling ranks of our $ubscriber/Associates, click on the appropriate spot
above, just to the left of the Rabbit Habit sign-up. That will take you to the enrollment
form, where you can choose a User ID for yourself and a Password as well as
supply payment information, a credit card or bank account number. And don’t
forget to sign up for the Rabbit Habit Alert by giving us your e-mail address
at the upper right. Click here for our privacy policy.
Non-subscriber Access. Not a Subscriber? See something you’d like to read
in the contents listing of either the Archival Rants & Raves or Harv’s
Hindsight? You can view the entire contents listing of both departments without
being a Subscriber; just click on the appropriate title at the left. And then
if you see something you’d like to read, you can gain temporary access—and
print out the article or articles you want—for the trial month fee of $3.95
(which is about what The New York Times used to charge for a single print-out, and you could, with unflagging patience,
print out the entire contents of both the R&R Archive and the Hindsights
during your trial month).

Robert
C. Harvey (to disclose his actual name) has been writing about
cartooning for well over a quarter of a century, beginning with a
column in the Menomonee Falls Gazette (a weekly newspaper of
comic strips) in the fall of 1973. A one-time freelance cartoonist
(of the "bush league" variety, he says), Harvey has produced published
work in nearly all the cartooning venues--comic strips, editorial
cartoons, comic books, and magazine cartoons. He is a member of the
National Cartoonist Society (NCS), an associate member of the American
Association of Editorial Cartoonists (AAEC), and a member of the Comic
Art Professionals Society (CAPS). He has authored several books about
cartooning, some of which are alluded to below. If you want the Complete
