Upon my re-read of check please (comic only/website), I've become so aware how important the extras (and Bitty's twitter (which I still follow in the big 2026)) are to developing a deeper understanding of the plot and the world. I'm wondering for some of y'all's re-readings did you go through the extras concurrently with the comic or read it all after?
I read the extras concurrently and the tweets periodically after? Like, I’d get to winter break in the comic and then go back and read the tweets from September until Bitty was back on campus for spring semester, and then go back to the comic until the school year ended.
I still feel like I missed stuff even trying to juggle everything.
Ooh I like that process of reading the tweets in chunks of the semesters!
I do wish ngozi could find a way to incorporate the extras through the chapters in a similar way of how she uploaded back in the day. I feel like the closest you can get to that experience is if you go to the tumblr archive and start from the bottom to work your way up.
