I debated with myself about how to approach posting this, but: I’m going to start uploading my comic as it’ll appear in the collection, eventually culminating in the posting of chapter 12. However, that’s not the only new content. Starting[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
I’m excited to show you chapters 1 and 2 again as they’ll appear in the book. I’m completely redoing this one, and I’m not quite as finished as I’d hope, but I’ve got a few weeks of updates to bide[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
