To commemorate the ninth(!) anniversary of the original Drugs & Wires comic's launch, we've decided to switch Dates & Wires to a pay-what-you-want model. This project started off as a way for us to stretch our creative muscles beyond the confines of a weekly webcomic, and while the finished product had its rough edges, it was a genuinely rewarding learning experience - and most importantly, one we had a lot of fun putting together. We're hoping the change will encourage more folks to check out our work, and look forward to welcoming a fresh batch of victims players to the worst of '90s post-Soviet dating!
