I want to play a game with you all.

You have to make a new word by changing only one letter of the last word.

“Work ed for, past tense,” The taller one corrected, “We work for Brekker, now.”

“Right,” rubbing her brow exasperatedly, Nina tried again, “You two worked for Eric Verzamelaar, the run-of-the-mill investment banker who keeps half of Ketterdams’ books at the Exchange. But now you two work for Kaz, because last night you’re claiming your old boss ‘kidnapped’ him, tortured him, and was subsequently killed by our boss throwing a steel cart through his head?”

“Yes, but there’s more to it than that!” The smaller one groaned, “And if you’d let us finish - ”

“I think we would have noticed if Brekker was kidnapped,” Matthias shook his head, his voice firm but kind. “I’m sorry but you must be mistaken.”

“Would you?” The taller one bit out, eyes narrowing, “Cause last night he was, and none of you seem too concerned about it. I thought you lot were supposed to be his crew, or something.”

Thank you! 💜 Always honored to hear the comic does the book justice. I’m always trying to capture my initial vision of the book, so I’m glad that people share that vision with me. So far, I’m almost done with the pencils on the next pages, so I hope I can finish them soon!

Kaz: I look rad

Inej: You look pallid and sick

Big Jesper and Kaz enjoyer

It starts off with rival pizza makers who argue over who has the best pizza and are driving the customers away

Then there’s this crazy old lady who yells at them from a window to quit it (because where else do you yell business advice from?)

So they work together and do some obvious flirting via pizza montage

And the old lady is all like “just kiss already”

Then they create a pizza together, combine restaurants and live happily ever after with the crazy window lady
