I wanted to thank you all for making Black Ball’s launch day such a success! Seeing all the support coming in through retweets, shares, and your comments really made my day and filled me with happiness. I’ll be honest, I was pretty nervous getting back into the webcomic game after such a long time away, and I wasn’t sure how people would like the new story. But hearing you all be excited about it, it’s given me such a great confidence boost! I feel real great and excited to keep sharing this story!
