Wow, I love the cover with the narrator worm in the Q :)

I'm so sorry about Esmeralda. I hope you will be able to recover soon.

PS: If you reverse the order of this article, and you read first all the things you did (cover, fallout video, figure, bank account, letterer, pin, banner) then you have to accept you did earn this trip!

hahah I love that rational Jorge, thank you. I did need to work on fixing my attitude. Every time I got sour that I wasn't getting any work in, I told myself "shape up, you're in frickin Africa, ENJOY YOURSELF YOU LOSER" and then I did :)

As a South African it was pleasant knowing you have family hear. I am not much of a reader but I ended up reading your whole email somehow because of how interesting you made it. It’s amazing hearing these personal stories of yours

I still need to watch you're finally awake but I love seeing all the progress as Quite get's noisy! OMG Monkey! I would have lost it. One of my best memories was when I got to meet a cowboy monkey that rode a dog in a show at the county fair I would have flipped

I was pleasantly surprised by the monkeys. We saw them at "World of Birds" and I wasn't going to go in and then I did anyway. They were great. If you offered them your closed fist, they would grab your fingers with their little hands and open them!

That cover artwork is amazing! I love the color and the typography of the word "quiet".

Aw thank you! I did the typography by hand, and wasn't sure I liked it until I added the Narrator Worm into the Q and shrank the U. Don't ask why...

Was awesome having you this side sir! And, of course, getting to chat to you about the current goings on of the many worlds you're tethered between.

Those spreads look amazing! Can't wait for the Fallout video to drop...
