In my previous newsletter, I showed you a sketch that I was working on for the second chapter of The Last Day of Rain. I’m thrilled to tell you that the chapter took the shape of a book two months later and is ready to order!
If you remember the sketch from last time, here’s how it ended up:
This sequence features Carol running across Rother High (formerly known as Rotherhithe) in the scorching London heat of 2091 and finally finding a haven in the air-conditioned IT repair shop/cafe where she works.
I know that London and heat are words that don’t often go together, except for those two weeks when we all have no idea what to do with ourselves and end up wearing swimwear in parks. But in Carol’s time, heat is a common occurrence, and rain is non-existent!
Here’s a bonus page where you can see almost all the characters who appear in this issue. Except for Giselle, the cat, who was hidden in a corner outside the whole time, and we only see her when Pepper scares the hell out of her.
If you’re following the series, the book can be ordered from my online shop. It has twenty-eight + four cover pages, slightly longer than the previous volume. If you do purchase it, I’d be most welcome if you left a review when you receive an email asking for it. I’ll send you a free pack of stickers as a thank-you gift! Trying to build up my shop. It’s tough, especially given my drawings are so weird. 🫣
And with this, we have a whooping four chapters until the finish line. 🙈 I added a progress bar to the website so you can follow:
