We’ve talked a lot about the awesomeness of The Nib, the comics section of long-form content site Medium. Editors Matt Bors and Eleri Mai Harris have made it a showcase for thought provoking comics featuring cartoonists.
Well, they’re spinning off the site into their first merch: The Nib’s 2015 Calendar of Obscure Holidays—they’re taking pre orders for it now.
Well now there is. If at least 250 people come together support our Tilt campaign, The Nib’s Calendar of Obscure Holidays will be coming to life. Each month will feature a completely obscure holiday you know nothing about illustrated by Erika Moen, Rich Stevens, Zach Weinersmith, Gemma Correll, Matt Bors, Jen Sorensen, Brian McFadden, Eleri Harris, Andy Warner, Matt Lubchansky, Liza Donnelly, and Scott Bateman.
Each page will be packed with the dates of obscure holidays, little-known anniversaries, c-list historical events, and bizarre awareness weeks — no practical dates of use whatsoever — all illustrated by the Nib’s editorial team.
The Calendar is $22…can you afford not to know when National Accordion Awareness Month takes place? We think not.
Hi. Please proofread your posts. This is disrespectful of your readers and a disservice to those you write about.
Commenters should be a little less sanctimonious. You could simply not read.
Hey I fucked up, okay? Tough morning. BUt I’ll try to do better.
Thanks Heidi. And you’re right, Chris. Loss of readers is what results from sub-par content, but I’m sure that’s not what Heidi or her advertisers want.
Ironically, Heidi makes a mistake in her reply.
And Greg is right — it pays (literally) to have clean, mistake free copy.
She’s much nicer to you fucks than I’d be, I’ll put it that way.
