I'm excited for this little intermission.  I think it's cute, THANKYOUVERYMUCH.  Also, though I didn't really plan it out this way, the end of the last chapter is a pretty good segue into this.

And since I'm writing this news bit early and trying to STRETCH OUT THE NEWS THAT I HAVE, I'll post a link to this little doodle I did for the Hiveworks hub page:

I made it with my new tablet! Which is better than my old tablet, largely by virtue of not being four years old and brutally mistreated.  The tablet is sorely needed, mostly because I need to do a lot of practicing/experimentation for my next comic.  Which will be digitally sketched and inked, unlike Metacarpolis.  I think.
