"This is Fine" stuffed dog; a framed Writer's Digest cover; collected editions of The Far Side and Calvin and Hobbes. In front, a miniature guillotine.

If you want to receive Five Things — aka “As in Guillotine | The Newsletter” — via email like the cool kids, sign up right here.

Every new post will go directly to your inbox, which means you’ll also see the two or three edits I don’t catch until after it goes out. It’s like a virtual collector’s edition!

You can also sign up to receive all blog posts, including the newsletter. I rarely post more than once/week so you don’t have to worry about being spammed, and you can always unsubscribe at any time. No hard feelings.

PS: You can also just add the RSS feed to your favorite reader. You do you!
