A small change to Strips and Stories

Why some content is now exclusive for one week—and how it helps keep Planet Nude going

You may have already noticed a small change to how we publish Strips and Stories. As of this month, these posts are available exclusively to paid subscribers for the first week before becoming free for all readers.

Planet Nude has always been, and will always be, free. But while our content is free to read, it’s not free to create. Every article, comic, and story we publish is the result of real work by writers, artists, and editors—work that we believe deserves fair compensation.

To ensure we can continue paying our contributors fairly, we’re now offering early access to Strips and Stories as a benefit for paid subscribers. After a week, these posts will unlock for everyone, just like before. Nothing else is changing—our articles, essays, and everything else we publish remain free and accessible to all. We understand that seeing paywalled posts in your inbox can be frustrating, and we appreciate your patience and support. These locked posts always become free after a week, and whenever you receive a paywalled post, there’s also a free post sent that same day. We’re still committed to delivering free content to you every day.

If you value Planet Nude, now is the perfect time to support it. March is our member drive, and for this month only, we’re offering 50% off annual paid memberships—just $30 for a full year, which works out to only 8 cents per day. And for those 8 cents, you get an incredible amount of value—articles, essays, comics, art, culture, perspectives, and podcasts, delivered to your inbox every single day. For less than the cost of just about anything, you’ll be helping sustain independent, ad-free media, ensuring these stories continue to be told, and directly supporting the artists and writers who make Planet Nude possible.

Thank you for understanding, for sticking with us, and for being part of our community. 🪐
