When asked to comment, Yuko Ota grumbled loudly and left the room.

In case you were wondering, our eggistential crisis is over. Thanks for all the recipe suggestions! 

Rook actually came to Yuko's parents' house with us this year! Which means he's meeting Mika and Gonta, which means you guys will get some comics out of it. I've got notes for a lot of 'em, so I'm going to wait a little bit and cull out the best stuff. 

Oh, designer jokes. Typically when a designer puts something together for print, they are working in a CMYK color space - Cyan, Magenta, Yellow and the K is for Black (as in Key Black). It has to do with the way printers are set up. Anyway! The point is that Rook's tongue is magenta, his eyes are yellow, he is all black ... only the cyan was missing! UNTIL NOW. 

Okay okay you guys don't care.

Yuko's got some new art up on her Tumblr! Take a look. 

It's a banana, you assholes. 

But seriously, this cat didn't like the banana and so he ruined it. You're a piece of work, Rook. 

Just a heads up - there are only about 15 BEACH sets left (in existence) and only about 5 Puppy totes left (also in existence). The BEACH set was a limited run, and we won't be reprinting the totes! Get 'em while you can. Books are still available in the store, of course.
