Hello my dears! I hope you aren’t stuck in a heatwave like yours truly. Whoosh! Thank goodness I have a studio in an air-conditioned office building or I’d be leaving sweat-streaks on the Cintiq. As it is, drawing a snowy landscape feels like a bit of a cruel joke.

Fun news in comics this week – Kate Beaton’s new picture book, The Princess and the Pony, is out! It is adorable as heck, has lots of good messages for kids as WELL as some pony fart jokes, and it will probably delight anybody you show it to.

And, on a technical note – Patreon is having a bit of a website snarl-up this week. $10+ folks, your podcast will go up as soon as it settles down. If you’ve been impacted by the payment system hiccup, you don’t need to do anything to fix your account or correct your pledge; they’re already on the job!
