Edit: I won't be in Victoria this weekend after all. I am very disappointed, and sorry to miss it. Please have a good time without me, everybody. --Kaja

Hooray! Hurrah! Thank you, everybody! As most of you have heard, Cheyenne Wright (our beloved colorist) went and had a heart attack. We turned over our main donation button to him in order to help him out, and, thanks to you, dear readers, he has collected enough to take care of the no-insurance-medical horror, with a little left over to help with the prescriptions. Thank you from him, and thank you from us, as well. This has been an alarming time for all of us, and you really helped out. We will soon be returning to our usual donation button, which only goes toward less disturbing things, like helping out with the web hosting and such.

Also, some of you may notice that we have a guest colorist for this side trip--Katrina Hao. We are very pleased with her lovely color sense. Because we're a little behind on the color edition of Volume One, we are giving Cheyenne a chance to catch up on the work he missed when he got sick. He's mostly done, and they're looking lovely, but we don't want to kill him with overwork, and we do need the book out. So please enjoy this short tale of Maxim and his new hat!
