Author commentary

Veronica: Hello, and welcome to yet another birthday chapter! We haven’t had one of those in a while, the last time we had that it was Lucy’s birthday, I think! Now we’re allllll the way in April!

.. wait, I just realised David has an entire chapter dedicated to his birthday, which is in February, so it hasn’t been that many months actually.

In April, there are two birthdays: Paulo and Chirpy. They’re both pretty important, but I didn’t wanna bother making two comics based on them, so I decided to combine their party! That’s why Chirpy thought everyone forgot.. considering her birthday is a few days before Paulo’s.

You just had to be patient, Chirpy! It’s not like you’re a main character!

David what are you doing getting stuff like this

I love how David explains what Paulo’s present is.

My guess is due to the obvious breeze headed-ness of David, Paulo gets something girly and chirpy gets something she’s not supposed to see with her virgin eyes
