Author’s notes: Today is Family Day in Ontario! I’m so grateful for family: those who are present in this world, as well as those who came before me to make my existence and experiences possible. And for people whom I may not be related to by blood (though if you go back far enough anywhere, who knows…? We’re all connected in an ultimate sense!), but who are practically family with the dear, supportive, loving presence they bring in my life. Wishing lovely things for you and all those you consider your family!

If you follow me on Twitter or Ko-fi you may already know, but Now Recharging is now available on GlobalComix! The newest pages will still be here, but I’ll be gradually putting completed chapters over there as another option. All still free to read!

It’s been a challenging time for creators in general and in the comics industry in particular. I’ve heard some positive things about GlobalComix, and I really appreciate the presence of platforms that focus on supporting indie comics creation and distribution. I plan to post some other non-Now Recharging comics there too. If you enjoy discovering new reads and supporting indie creators, please consider checking it out!
