Thank you for reading!
I’m not sure why, but I received more stories in these last 2 weeks alone than I did since we first launched the BCCing my EA comics. Is there something special about EA work in October or was it just a coincidence?
Thank you either way to everyone who shared comic ideas!
I’ll catch you next Thursday~
