Switching #LeifAndThorn to a MWF schedule is already boosting my mental health. I draw 3 strips - whoa, I just finished a week of buffer? Draw 3 more - I'm already up to *two* weeks of buffer??

Get Ready for Leif & Thorn Volume 8 From Erin Ptah - Get Ready for Leif & Thorn Volume 8

Spent the afternoon on #LeifAndThorn Volume 8 prep work. Some results:

- So many comics that "192 pages" has to be the default, no a stretch goal
- New pin/magnet bonuses in the works instead
- Totally blanking on "fun themed tier names" for this book. Ideas?
