Author's Notes:
Back to the hospital! And these two MIA characters, returning to the limelight!
There's a little reference to The Golden Compass on Jonas's book, because it's been a huge influence in my work and I thought it would be fun to put a lil easter egg in c:
Tamberlane will be at TCAF!
Our very own Ari Noble, along with Momodriller — the artist behind Preeny Has to Repeat 6th Grade, another spectacular Foxglove comic — is sharing a booth at the Toronto Comic Arts Festival on June 7th and 8th in Toronto! Ari will be selling
Tamberlane books there, as well as stickers and prints. If you want to pick up a book in person and talk to Ari, you should stop by!
