   I’m going to trust this was a bit of a canned response and likely sent automated. I know myself and my editor provided the file, there was likely some kind of tech glitch…

   …The timing is actually kind of funny/amazing, in one more “the comic sometimes predicts/makes things happen in real life” running joke, but that might not be realized for a few more days…

   Remember this, though! As Beatrix or my kids would say, I’m kind of low key delighted by the timing…

   YAY!!! Thank you so much to the wonderful folks at GoComics who got this posted so quickly today—and thank you for the thousands of times the comic has posted without issue before, too!!

   Here it is, the “lost report”, asking the hard hitting questions!

   Hello everyone!! I sooooo rarely post slides of an entire strip to social media—however, this is an emergency!! I just posted today’s strip in panel slides on the BCN Instagram and Facebook. It is not ideal, but it’s something! And hopefully if you don’t have FB or Instagram (I get it!) you can still see it on one of them without an account. If not, hopefully this should be fixed when offices open tomorrow.

   When you see this report, you’ll understand why newspapers across the country probably had to shelve it for asking the hard questions… A joke I make because this might be one of the most hilarious strips this could have happened to?? And I know we shouldn’t start rumors, but OH MY CAT it would be so funny to remember this strip as “the one that asked a question so scandalous, it was pulled from papers…” You’ll see what I mean… it’s… kind of delightful it happened to this one??

   Anyway! Just this once, we go live to FB/Instagram where Puck and Beatrix are standing by—

   Hello everyone, I myself am not certain why there is no BCN strip here or on Arcamax. There is a strip today, however seeing it is a Sunday I imagine this may not be resolved until offices open on Monday. While I’m also bummed, there are thousands of days where this went right, and I’m sure it’ll be fixed as soon as it can be. Fingers crossed!

   I do not mind the nitpicking one bit—it helps, it’s helping me learn it a bit better, and it’s interesting to read! I only worry that I’ll come off as disrespectful in my clumsiness, I would hate for that to happen. I’d be delighted to see someone trying to hammer out English in another languaged-comic and giving it their best go, but I could understand everyone not feeling that way, especially if my butchering is grating on the nerves, regretful-lol.

   My apologies for the clumsy translations this week! While I try to put it together through translating programs and double check it, I sadly do not speak Spanish as a first language myself. Nothing quite compares to that, and a lot of little idioms can get lost. It’s one reason that while I love Tabitha and Figaro, it’s harder to put together broadcasts for them. I feel understandably disrespectful when I get their dialogue wrong, I feel bad it’s not tighter, sorry!

   This was so very much a true story, lol!! But it is thankfully back up now, thanks to some friends! I’ll have to share the before and after photos somewhere. That cry was real (and it helped!) Ora Zella comforting me was real too, she is a peach.

   It was a wonderful time!! Thank you so much to everyone who came out! It was wonderful seeing ClobberedbyScience, Christine, Denny, and others! Denny, I’m sorry we didn’t get a chance to finish our talk, I’d meant to catch another quick chat!

   I’m so grateful to how kind and engaged everyone is at the talks, thank you! It makes them so much easier! And a big shoutout to Ridgecrest books, who handled selling the books. I’m learning along the way and one thing I learned about myself is I get anxious juggling the talk, signings, AND selling the books! It was such a nice relief to have that handled, whew!

   I’ll let everyone who was at the talk decide whether or not to reveal the Easter egg, hehe… it may make a brief appearance in the Christmas tale this year!

    Hello everyone! Thank you for following Sophie’s Summer Adventure so closely and all the love, encouragement, support, rage (ahem lolll), and joy you gave our girl and all the BCN creatures who came out to help! This was a stressful story to roll out, because the start felt so scary and uncertain. I knew we were getting to some GOOD STUFF, but it was tough at the beginning and I thank everyone for hanging in there and trusting me to get us to this third panel today!

    While this was another carefully outlined and plotted story (Starfish Squeaker was always coming home, never fear! I had very much hoped folks would like her and was delighted when the “save Starfish Squeaker” call began in the comments! Ahhh!!) a few things were indeed added in! Such as Mrs. Tidy’s name (thank you, all!!) and a second appearance of Cool Cricket Guy at the end. I’ll mention outside of the story that the Robber Mice made it home safe and sound, (they always do, lol!) because I did not include a wrap up scene for them, alas! Sorry!!

    Thanks to a friend of mine who saw an inked-peek of the third panel and asked “Is the Moon going to be pink?” I realized we’ve never had a pink Moon and while I always strive to get the phase correct (thank you so much for noticing!!), I thought a pink Moon over the Big Pink House would really complete this scene. So, thank you to them for that!

    And thank you to all of you for reading this summer story and getting into it the way you did! You are so much fun to write for! BCN would not be half the strip it is without its audience!! Monday we return to our regularly scheduled broadcasting… for now… (eyes Halloween in the distance….softly high fives Ora Zella…)
