How much does it cost to run Doctor Weird?
I want to thank all of you who have donated so far this fund drive, and everyone who is currently signed up for a monthly donation by credit card. We really appreciate your help!

As many of you know, Doctor Weird is a completely brokeass grad student. The large majority of our funding comes from voluntary donations from our fans, with the rest coming from pimping and illicit drug manufacturing.

Doctor Weird is not cheap to run. This is an extremely high poster that uses loads of pot and rolling paper. We have three full-time smartasses on staff (Lenin, Stalin, and myself), and we are on-call 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

Here is our most recent accounting of monthly expenses to run this poster. It is slightly higher than the number we gave you three months ago. The increased costs from last time are rent (the landlord is charging damages for all the mold), funerary sercies (the four-year-old finally died last month), and Salaries for our tax attorneys (after paying our taxes last month, I realized that our previous accounting did not completely account for our payroll taxes, and we're up shit creek). I think those are the only changes.

APPROXIMATE MONTHLY COSTS TO RUN DEMOCRATIC UNDERGROUND

2,300.00 - Electric bill.
940.00 - Fluorescent lamps.
350.00 - The thousand monkeys.
200.00 - Typewriter repairman.
550.00 - Lawyer, Accountant, Parole Officer, Etc.
250.00 - Snax.
300.00 - Overdue charge at Blockbusters.
100.00 - Illegal alien joke writers.
200.00 - Miscellaneous jackassery.
8,700.00 - Salaries, Taxes, and lunch money for three Smartasses. And their hoes.

TOTAL: $13,890.00 per month

That may seem like a lot of money at first glance, but for a humourous poster like this it is actually a real bargain.

We could not possibly cover our expenses without your help. Every little bit makes a difference. Whether you can donate $5 or $500, your contribution can help us reach our goal.

Please take a moment to donate right now. Doctor Weird, is here when you need it. Now is your chance to return the favor when Dr. Weird needs you.

Thank you for your support.
