Vee: I have no idea how I managed to convince him to draw this- I've been on my deathbed with illness and Jaime still resolutely refused to cover for me.
The only explanation is Newly Fired Energy.
It's sort of like New Relationship Energy- but with a little more broken sobbing and heavy drinking.
Regardless, I am exceedingly grateful... not that I don't relish scribbling out our adventures, but as you can imagine, I am currently shedding my skin like a snake. Soon I will emerge, shiny and new, a good foot longer than before.
Or so is my understanding.
Not a year goes by that I don't spend the first month of summer with third degree burns, having completely forgotten all previous years' experiences.
That initial warm day seizes me like a spell, and I run out into the unforgiving light with one intention in mind: get a beautiful tan in order to minimize my resemblance to a larval bee.
In a way, it was successful... but I'm not convinced microwaved hot dog is a superior look to pupal insect.

Jaime: It was a bad idea to try and get me to contribute art to this endeavour; my particular talents don't lend themselves to either sequential art or anything that requires more than a few moments of my attention.
Inevitably our sunlight starved bodies will emerge from our darkened winter tomb with a little too much haste, like morlocks chased into the light, and we'll completely forget the ramifications of hours and hours of solar radiation on unprotected mushroom white skin.
Gaze upon the terrible consequences dear reader, and take caution!
