Let’s Just Take a Break…
Hey kids, there’s some behind the scenes type of stuff going on and I’ve decided to stop the blogging here for the moment because of it. In short, I’m on strike. You see, ToyBender isn’t my blog. It’s owned by 451 Press. I’m a paid writer and as much as I love writing about toys and running this fantastic show, it’s a job for me and when my employer stops paying me for that job, I stop doing it.
Please don’t think this isn’t hard for me. I’ve poured a lot of blood (orphan blood), sweat, and tears into this site into the incredibly awesome place it is. I love each and every one of you readers and not providing you with your daily dose of ToyBender kills me. Hopefully, things will work out soon (please cross fingers for today even) and everything can get back to normal around here and we can all pretend this never happened.
If you’d like to follow my work elsewhere, you can find me on Twitter as well as here. I also plan to do future toy related posts on the most excellent and gracious Poe Ghostal’s Points of Articulation until everything is figured out.
Thanks everyone,
-Paul

We’ll march day and night

They have the plant
but we have the power
Sorry, it’s the only strike song I know.

This one time, I wrote an intro for some guy’s book and he didn’t pay me do I licked his face. His family disowned him because being licked is considered an ultimate dishonor.

Yay, strike is over!
