Hi, just wanted to give a quick update on the newsletter and what’s going on for the future. As you can surmise by the title of the email, I’ve done a name change for the newsletter -- instead of House of Cheese, which was dumb, I’ve reclaimed my old moniker, Drawing Board Confessional, which is also dumb but it’s the dumb I’m super-familiar with. It also reflects a shift in focus back towards more art-related things. No, I’m not kicking Bud the Fish to the curb, although I’ve begun to wonder if that particular identity has outlived its usefulness -- a topic for another day! It’s just that my newest subscribers subscribed because they either thought my writing was witty (HA!), or the doodles I’ve been posting are clever or funny or cute or something idk..
Just to make things even more confusing, you’ll still get emails from the houseofcheese.substack.com domain. I think if I want to have the letters come from dbdoodles.substack.com, I’d have to create a new profile in Substack with that name, but I’d lose all my subscribers because I don’t think there’s a way to migrate all the subscriber data over (I suppose I could ask the helpful Substack AI chatbot but I’d rather punch it in the face because AI is the worst). Hey, I did NOT create this version of the internet where everything is broken and stupid, so don’t yell at me! If you want to yell at me about something I actually DID screw up, yell at me for creating so many identities for my online self (Goofy Graffix, DanBee’s Doodles, Roadkill Puppy, House of Cheese, and Drawing Board Confessional WHAT ARE YOU DOING?!?!?!)
So that’s that. Since Substack has shown signs of life and I’m attracting people interested in my silly art, I figure it’s probably time to give my Substack a facelift, maybe do something with the layout, the lack of graphics, etc., shine that penny up so it’s nice ‘n’ purty, right? I don’t update my website’s appearance for the same reason good auto mechanics never work on their own car because it becomes a forever project and I hate forever projects. Anyway, that’s enough ranting for one newsletter; thanks for subscribing and following along, and I’ll catch you on the next update. If you’re dying for daily blurbs of nonsense from me, check out the Notes feature on the Substack app and look me up. Peace, my friends...

I understand the creation of multiple identities. I have even fought myself over changing my account name and graphics countlessly times. 😁
I'll suggest creating sections under this publication so you can carter to the different identies.😁
