The DFP family of websites (deansfamilyproductions, grandpunwick, dfplinks, jrobertdeans, samkidlet) will be getting an overhaul over the next few weeks to unify and simplify their design, add new sites, and update all of their information. We’ll also be adding new items to our web shop (shopdfp). To learn when the updates are complete, check back in mid-October, or sign up for our newsletter! Feel free to email us about questions, comments, or suggestions for our sites. Thank you!
On October 30, 2026, Meta will be changing their terms of service for pages representing professionals, artists, and companies. Having read the new terms, we have decided to delete our public “JRDcartoonist” and “Deans Family Productions” (DFP) Facebook pages. While we have used Meta services for many years, they have been making the service essentially useless to creatives and professionals with a new algorithm system which hides posts from followers unless a per-post fee is paid.
Meta’s newest Terms give Meta complete access to any and all content and sites connected to these pro pages for their AI to scrape for AI training or repurpose for Meta advertising, or whatever else they want. This update just reinforces our belief that in its current form, AI is nothing more than a cash grab for billionaires preying on everyone else. AI takes jobs from artists like us, and has a massive negative impact on the health of the planet. Therefore, the “JRDcartoonist” and DFP pages will be deleted on October 29th.
We recommend folks use one of the three options to keep up with our work and silliness: Sign up for our irregular Email Newsletter, Follow Robert on BlueSky, and/or Join our Patreon for Free (Everyone who signs up for the newsletter or Robert’s Patreon will receive a free Shakes PDF): Kidlet’s Pateon, Robert’s Patreon
Thank you for your time, support, and understanding, DFP
