1: Amina is at their apartment entrance, ringing the doorbell from downstairs. Helena is in the background: „Your way home is no picnic, Amina.“ 2: Helena is starting to look sad. „I feel bad you always drop ME off home … and then you have to walk home all by yourself.“ 3: A crying Helena is hugging an uncomfortable Amina „I can’t let you face this danger alone anymore!!“ „Do not worry.“ 4: Helena is rubbing her eyes, walking away from Amina, who yells from the open door: „I’ll come pick you up after lunch!“ „Thank god“
Empathy, Helena 166.
Thank you Alex! Too kind by far

It looks good but I see what you mean
Dug into this absolutely wild thing happening to Finji. The deeper I read into their increasingly baffling conversations with TikTok "support" the more I felt like I was on something.

Thank you very much, it's appreciated
The loss isn't any easier still, but it's such great news that Matt's work is being put in such good hands
The floor plan for the planned ICE concentration camp in Social Circle, Georgia:
My brain was fried while I was writing this. Bluntly, the point of our new platform is that it will make it INCREDIBLY EASY for shops to carry our titles & restock, and is loaded with functionality designed to make managing their account & orders with us painless. Should make all our lives easier.
I am lettering this beautiful book please support GBB it's the best 🤲
I'm not sure I see it myself, but it's an interesting connection to make!
Really happy to see this. Not just for my titles with Starfruit Books, but for Matt's legacy as a whole. Thank you so much for doing this, Glacier!
(It's the title of the Japanese edition, not the final English title)
Thanks! FYI our release combines both volumes "BASEMENT" and "ATTIC" (the book at this link is Yamakawa sensei's "BASEMENT" manga collection)
Thank you so much and thank you for your patience! I know they are all quiet late and I'm trying to get them out and to folks ASAP.
