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

I noticed you fixed up Mike’s eyes on this page: bcb.cat/c71/p4
I know you said it bothered you before, so I’d like you to know that it looks really good now!!
