Author commentary

Oliver: Every once in a while we update the online comic archive with all the art and dialogue edits from our newest book. For Volume Four, I never got around to it! But this weekend, I finally did, along with Volume Five! So if you want to re-read from Piece of Cake to Class of 2008 (literally, all the watercolour comics) you’ll see hundreds of changes, although if we did our job well none will be too noticeable. Most notably, the first half of Volume Five now has outlines around speech bubbles, which was a whole lot of work but now it’s done. Otherwise, it’s the product of our frenzied readings and re-readings in the leadup to printing, and represents something made a little better with a couple years of hindsight.

You can see everything on the new, improved Archive page! Where yes, finally, Volume Four and Five get their own section. It’s all a little tidied up (and now mobile-friendly.) BINGE SOME OLD COMICS TODAY.

Veronica: I wonder if people have noticed by now that I don’t give Paulo a backpack on purpose

Lucy’s so cute and sure of herself and confident, I wish her parents had recognized the abusive tendencies and her utter crippling dependency on mike earlier and got her in some therapy.

I can see things going smoothly until Augustus shows up. Depending on paulo’s reaction to ff7 cat Lucy will drop Paulo or keep him. Cause she sure as hell ain’t going to let Augustus go away
