Quote graphic from Issue 2 of Will This Be A Problem? The Magazine is set on a background that has a textured orange tone with decorative speech mark elements. The text reads: I walked to the living room and stared at Davey. He was pressed against the TV screen, his small, pudgy body barely reaching the middle of the giant viewer. Bop Bop wasn’t dancing anymore. Instead, it looked like the bear was crouched down, whispering to Davey through the TV from the live studio where he was recorded. The bear’s mouth stopped moving when I walked in, and they both looked at me.

Bruh. The skill, the storytelling...I was trapped, hooked, and enthralled. Damn this was good.
But @catvalente.bsky.social I need Jolene's story something terrible. I'll be thinking about her for a long time coming.
