★ Notes on Year 3, Comic 4 - Home Opener ★

☆ ☆ ☆ NOTES ☆ ☆ ☆

✓ You know, I get why everyone hates the Samwell hockey team. They’re a loud group of people. Imagine sitting next to all that chanting and screeching and unexplained crying for hours on end. You have Nursey and Lardo who are mostly calm, but trend towards chaotic. You have the loudest bros in Massachusetts: Shitty, Ransom, Holster and Chodwer. Hm, well, you also have Dex who thinks this’ll simmer down after the first few minutes (no). Then of course you have Eric Bittle who is a maelstrom of emotions because his dreamy secret boyfriend is playing ice game with big stick and swooshy hair.

✓ Whoa! WAIT is that Marty speaking Quebecois? Oh, you betcha. He and Jack pretty much always speak English, so how considerate of Marty to call out Jack on his dork friends in another language.

✓ Is Shitty wearing a tweed coat? It sure does have elbow patches, doesn’t it? He went from no clothes and lots of hair to dork clothes and no hair, 0 to 100mph, they grow up so fast.

✓ Jack and Shitty as alums! Watching Samwell men’s hockey! Supporting the crew! Shitty is happy to be away from all those terrible Cantabs and Jack is a maelstrom of emotion because his adorable secret boyfriend is playing ice game and nothing is better than boyfriend and ice game.

✓ Okay, finally, was that actually a check? It was definitely a nudge but HMM. There are so many types of checks in hockey…if Bitty’s playing defense and stopping the other guy from doing what he wants….yes? I think this means the comic is over.

☆ UP NEXT:

Shitty: Wait wait wait wait how’d you convince professional hockey player Jack “my bed time was 5 minutes ago” Zimmermann to go to this kegster?
Ransom: idk but he said:

☆ Not much news! I’m hoping for a much bigger update at the end of the summer. Things have been a bit hectic of late, but I’m putting my head down and working on thumbnails / scripting the next-next updates too.

☆ Anime Expo. AH!! July 4th weekend! If you’re really looking to pick up Year One (which will be reprinted!) You’ll probably want to drop by my table on Saturday or Sunday since I won’t have all of my merch on Friday. I’ll tweet about this to remind folks.

☆ Store. I opened the store for a hot second last-last Friday, and things sold out very quickly. I will try to order, ship and restock merchandise and prepare for a pre-order sale, but please be patient!

As always thank you for reading, sharing and being generally enthusiastic about my story!…Thanks!
