Fall for the US, Spring for… Australia?
Heyo, Evan here!
First of all: thank you all for your patience and support once again. As a thank you for waiting so long, I wanted to share a fun fact about Nate & Izzy that isn’t obvious in this short little story: they’re actually both Australian!
Originally we were just basing them out of a Generic American City, but the more I worked with Nate, the more obvious it felt that they would hail from the Land Down Under. This decision was made after the main story went to print though, but the bonus chapter and any future work with these two will leave a little more space to better explore that part of their characters. Please imagine Nate throwing the word “mate” around and that already helps lol
Now for other news…
Somehow, in the midst of everything else, I ended up also getting carpal tunnel in my drawing hand. Because of course I did. So, I needed to get a second surgery a couple weeks ago to fix that.
The bad news? I’m now dealing with healing from surgeries on both my right foot AND my right hand. I’m awfully lopsided :(
The good news: once my hand is recovered, I’ll never get carpal tunnel again! I can draw Forever………
In the meantime, I’m working with a physical (occupational) therapist to make sure my hand heals correctly. I’ve started practicing drawing a little bit at a time as part of that therapy, but for the time being my hand is still too weak to reliably draw the way I need to to finish the comic. But rest assured, it hasn’t been forgotten about!

We have had some other campaigns going on in the background while I’m recovering. This is possible because my co-writer, Lee, has been hard at work drawing designs for enamel pins! Her style is pretty different from mine, but if you’re curious and would like to continue to support us during my recovery, feel free to share those projects as they come :)
The Baa-venturers campaign is actually going on right now until September 17th. The banners below are clickable and will take you right to the campaign if you’re interested :>
Thank you all again, truly. Your support means everything to us 💙

Bonus Chapter Delay
Hey everyone! Just wanted to give y’all a quick update.
Work has been paused on the bonus chapter for a minute while I (Evan, the artist) recover from a surgery that made me unable to sit at a table. I’ve recently recovered enough to be able to start plugging away at it again, though! It’s a little under half-way done, there’s just a couple more pages to pencil and then it’s on to inking. As I’m able to sit at the table longer and longer, more work gets done each day.
Thank you for your support, and especially for your patience!
Also, there are still a couple of backers who haven’t filled out their surveys yet. We’d love to get your rewards out to you, but we won’t be able to do that without your survey responses. We’ll send out the link to the survey again in case it got lost!

Books Incoming!
We got the books!! Which means now YOU get the books!
If you backed for the main book but not the bonus chapter, then keep an eye out for your tracking email. We’re still wrapping up work on the bonus chapter, but once that one is done we’ll ship out the rest of the orders shortly.
Thank you for all your patience and support, and we hope you like the book!

Surveys Surveys Surveys!
Hey everyone,
In case you missed it, Pledge Manager surveys were sent about 2 weeks ago! This is where you finalize your order, select add-ons, and pay for shipping if you are receiving physical rewards.
If you're moving soon, don't worry! We'll send an update when we're ready to ship and addresses are going to be locked down.
Thank you to the 75% of you who have filled out your surveys!

End of Year Update
Hi everyone,
Some quick updates as the holidays slowly encroach upon us...
Some quick updates as the holidays slowly encroach upon us...
Comic progress
Long story short, we're quite a bit behind where we wanted to be.
Short story long, we've had several big personal life events going on at the same in time the last two months that's made working on the comic exponentially more difficult. We're slowly getting ourselves out of it and putting hours back into the comic, but we've got a lot of time to make up for!

What does that mean for you?
Our timeline for shipping out rewards will need to be reworked given our production delays. We'll be sure to keep you all updated as we get the books finished and ready to ship!
Surveys for locking orders and charging cards for shipping costs will be done AFTER we've sent the book to the printers, so no need to fret over any address changes between now and then ^_^
Stay warm,
Lee Evans
