1. OKAY so here’s the thing folks. We said we were gonna update during the week and it did not happen. Because life happened instead. And because working on the same art continuously is a difficult thing to ask of a person when they’re doing it in their spare time.

    The illustrations for 44 will probably be done soon. HOWEVER we’ve decided to delay its posting just a little while longer. The reason is we want to make ABSOLUTELY SURE there are no more unscheduled breaks between any chapters for the remainder of Part Two. For reasons I think you’ll understand and appreciate. And this week we’re going on a trip, and when we get back we’ll need some time to settle back into routine, so.

    We apologize again for the ongoing delay, but once we get started, we’re gonna stay steady. So you have that to look forward to. Keep the faith. We love you guys. <3

     
  2. IDIOMS ARE HARD and other stories

    Still editing! Meanwhile, there’s three illustrations for this chapter, two of which you saw in progress during the WIP postathon, a third of which has yet to be started and is going to be more time-consuming. Emily will be assisting with the drawing portion of the illustration process, but it is possible that the chapter will not be ready for posting on this day. However even if we do post it late, the next several are written already and we’ve started thumbnailing sketches, so there will be no more unannounced breaks between updates until Part Two is finished. Yay!!

    STAY TUNED

     
  3. I have a latte, I have an incredibly dorky but adventure-inspiring playlist made mostly of anime theme songs, and I have the Berlin Confidential googledoc open. It’s happening people, whether I like it or not.

    Thanks ever for your patience.

Berlin at night. Amazingly, I think the light bulbs still show the East/West division from orbit.

The beautiful setting of our tale, by night, from space, in the future. Such a poignant picture of such complex history.
No update this week, guys. It&#8217;s been a tough one, for all of us. We&#8217;ll be hard at work for next week and we&#8217;re going to do our very best not to let this gap happen again, as things are about to get Very Real.

    Chapter still delayed, obviously. But look! Allison is working on the illustration RIGHT NOW and it is looking gorgeous. Can you identify that sexy jerkface??

  6. CHAPTER 43 COMING PROBABLY TOMORROW!!!….?!!?!

    We’re sorry. Life is life, you know how it goes. Honestly at this point we’re very tempted to change our update schedule to “CHAPTERS WILL GO UP WHEN THEY GO UP SO JUST BE READY” since that’s almost basically what it’s been for months anyway??? What do you guys think of that?

    ???

     
  7. Chapter 43’s gonna be a little late today, but hopefully it will post sometime before tomorrow. You should know it’s worth it because just wait til you see the illustration, it’s so beautiful. Allison won’t listen to me but. I’m right and she’s silly.

     
  8. Sooooo no update today!! Surprise! It’s Emily’s birthday on Monday so this weekend is all taken up by STUFF. You know, drinking, flopping, crying over Brave with your mom… important things. Now we’re gonna go wrestle a billion toddler cousins.

    We’ll be back with updates. Party on Garth.

     
  9. Chapter 41 is gonna be a wee bit late. It’s been a weird, exhausting, longass day for a whole series of very bizarre reasons, and we got some serious relaxation to enjoy. At least Herr Inspektor and friends are out of the woods now, right? Right???

    Hello, folks.
&#8230;
Yes, we&#8217;re late again. The reason is there are approximately eighty billion (sixteen) illustrations for this action-packed chapter and Allison&#8217;s still finishing up the last one. It&#8217;ll be up soon. The wait will have been worth it.
In the meanwhile, since I have not much to do other than make tiny nitpicky suggestions, I made up this promo shot to give you an idea of how much crazy shit is about to go down, or at the very least how hard Allison has been working. Spread it around if you like.
Other than that stay tuned.
