quicksillver: rise-up-ting-ting-like-glitter: quicksillver: [ID two versions of the same inked drawing of the comic versions of Clint Barton and Bucky Barnes. One is colored, the other is black and white. Bucky has on a blue jacket and tac pants. Heโ€™s also wearing a belt thatโ€™s attached to a thigh holster and a shoulder holster. His right arm is draped around Clintโ€™s shoulders. His head is tilted and he has a small smirk on his face. Clint is dressed in a tight-fitting long sleeved purple shirt with his light purple chevron on his chest. He has olive green joggers on and a hip quiver. Heโ€™s holding his right arm close to him and has a sort of shy or embarrassed look on his face. end ID] I thought Clintโ€™s chest chevron was a boob window in the uncoloured version XD [ID same drawing as above except now Clintโ€™s chevron is a titty window, like it should be. end ID] : quicksillver: rise-up-ting-ting-like-glitter: quicksillver: [ID two versions of the same inked drawing of the comic versions of Clint Barton and Bucky Barnes.

omgcheckplease: โ˜… Notes on Year 4, Comic 26 - Check, Pleaseย โ˜…In the summer of 2013, I was fully mourning my completed time as an undergraduate at Yale. One of the collegeโ€™s traditional songsโ€”which they strategically have students sing during their first weeks as Yalies and then again at the moment weโ€™re conferred our degreesโ€”goes like this:Bright College years, with pleasure rife,The shortest, gladdest years of life;How swiftly are ye gliding by!Oh, why doth time so quickly fly?Et cetera. The first time you sing it, you mumble the words and donโ€™t know a single person around you. The last time you sing it, wearing the mortarboard and gown, youโ€™ve got the lyrics memorized and youโ€™re surrounded by some of the most important people in your life.That summer, with โ€œHow bright will seem, through memโ€™ryโ€™s haze/ Those happy, golden, bygone days!โ€ still ringing in my ears, I started CHECK, PLEASE.ย The comicโ€™s first panels emerged on an ancient laptop, through a borrowed bamboo tablet, and on a free drawing program called gnu-IMPShop.ย I had no plan. I wanted to explore my newfound fascination with hockey and share silly cartoons on Tumblr. But unconsciously, I also wanted to pour the nostalgia of those bright college years into the Haus, Faber, Samwell, and Bittyโ€™s story. I wanted to bottle up those moments where we grow and change and fall down and pick ourselves back up.ย Drawing CHECK, PLEASE was how I revisited those experiences and how I sifted through the bittersweet feeling of concluding something I loved. Perhaps this is why finishing CHECK, PLEASE calls back those same emotions. Just as Bitty would bake affection into a pie, I might have encoded into CHECK, PLEASE the heartfelt fondness I had for my time in college, the love of the friends I made there, and the gratitude I have for my own growth.I have always found it easier to express gratitude face to face. And even though I would not have gotten to meet all of you, the greatest downside of being unable to participate in a book tour is that I canโ€™t say thanks in person. I could write a thousand words, yet they couldnโ€™t replace a high five at a bookstore signing or a handshake at a convention. I could write the blog post to end all blog posts, but itโ€™s not the same as yelling with you about an episode or chatting about a fandom we both happen be in. For me, itโ€™s those moments that somehow equate to my abundant appreciation for you, the reader.I look forward to the day when I can let my actions speak louder than my words!In the meantime: thank you. I am incredibly blessed to get to create a story and then share it. This is all I want to do in life. These characters get to have a readership overflowing with love and enthusiasm for them. This comic, somehow, has found ambassadors. This story gets to be told. Thank you!ย Iโ€™m excited to share with you the unusual, fun, and hopeful narratives Iโ€™m working hard to develop.So with that, Iโ€™ll sign off on the last blog post! Thank you for reading this comic. Thank you for sharing it with friends. Thank you for caring about Bittyโ€™s story and CHECK, PLEASE.Thank you!John J. Johnson.Just kidding, itโ€™s Ngozi. :^) Tee hee.
