hey! its me in the picture, im a dog lady. i drew a lot. thanks for reading the first chapter!

if you wanna read from the start, i finally found the link to put tumblr in chronological order: how-to-be-a-pilot.tumblr.com/tagged/how-to-be-a-pilot/chrono

just to set expectations, for the rest of the comic, im thinking there will be two parts. part one will be a series of semi-independent chapters, maybe 20 pages each, about the next six months of rach's life. then after that, part two has a bit more of a story and is a bit more serious.
