Yeah?

Yeah. Whaddaya looking at? Never seen Lulu wear an apron before? I cook. Pretty good at it too.

If y’all – sorry, you are all, you –

If y’all –

If. You All. Are. Looking for some kind of extra-patriotic display and stuff, you’re not gonna find it here. We put up patriotic stuff like, 365 days a week. Er. Year. Um.

Lulu do you want me to do this one instead? I know you did say you wanted this piece, but you’re pretty busy today…

No no I got this. I definitely got this.

… Okay.

Uh. For those of you who haven’t been on this site, this day’s a day where we celebrate being ‘Merican. Thing is, those of us on this particular side of things? Every day is a day where we celebrate being American.

So, you know, I don’t have many words to say. Is it a special occasion? Golly, yeah. ‘Course. Right now I’m cooking on short notice for like, what, four hundred extra people, so I really don’t have many more words to say.

With freedom comes responsibility. Nobody’s gonna make ya not eat that 8th helping of pulled pork, but if your belly decides to declare independence from the rest of your body that’s on you.

Happy 4th of July everyone!

NJ: Things are different this time around. They may very well be again.

So! What do you think?

You know, now that I’m finally here, I think this is actually pretty fun. The first Silent Service post was made close to a year and a half ago, but the actual amount of time spent illustrating varies quite a bit. Five months for a job here, Morgane getting sick for a couple of months there, and if you really think about how much time gets spent, then I think it’s pretty good. When are we getting it printed anyways? Soon, right? I mean, now that 2016 is done-done (I think) and the other stuff we’re handling for our friends are done, we’re –

Pam! Stick to the script.

Hey! I’m just excited, alright? I’ve been alluded to so many times, like, a third of the subgirl profiles mention or alludes to me to some degree. Not like I get hyped or anything – if anything, I’m a little worried that I won’t live up to expectations!
