👋 Hi Wellies,

First—

Ukazu says, a rising tide lifts all boats, including the S.S. Check, Please! She’s hopeful that the success of Heated Rivalry, as well as another queer romance graphic novel-turned-TV show Heartstopper, will make the dream of seeing her work onscreen into a reality: The book has been optioned for adaptation. — Vanity Fair

Check, Please! has been optioned for a film/television adaptation. A while ago, actually—and that’s lovely. Nevertheless, the vast majority of options do not become television because it takes a million things going right to get projects off the ground.

That being said.

Ahem.

Speaking of getting projects off the ground...

From when Bitty first stepped out into the rink at Faber, to when he kissed the ice at graduation, we've all been part of this fun, weird, magical world of Samwell hockey. But when I left the world of Samwell hockey, I left knowing Jack and Bitty's story was done. Bitty's journey as the first openly gay NCAA Division I hockey captain was done. We baked the last pie; we shut off the lights at the kegster; the story was complete.

…But as I looked around I realized, I had one more story to tell.

Which is why I'm thrilled to announce that a brand new volume of Check, Please! will be serialized in 2026. Dozens of new comics, exciting update drops, your favorite characters with brand new storylines, and characters you've yet to meet.

Hello, Internet Land—SMH is coming home.

This fifth year of Check, Please! will be filled with shenanigans, drama, hockey, pies, Haus parties, and a new message of acceptance that is near and dear to me. And it's been brewing over the last year and half! But with the latest boom in queer hockey stories, I figured, hey! ¯\(ツ)/¯ Here's another one to look forward to. :)

Marginalized athletes still face harmful bigotry, and for this reason, queer sports stories are more important than ever. I love Samwell hockey and how each of you has embraced this roster of athletes.

There's so much more to come.

Ngozi 🏒🥧❤️

Actual quote was like, "He should have been dancing at the Chaumière, as young people have a moral obligation to do."

One more late contribution to Barricade Week. I think M. Gillenormand is one of my favorite characters from the book. He is not a very good guardian, but everything he does is so funny. I had to pause at the end of this chapter to draw this.

Disco dancing at the barricades :)

Apparently La Marseillaise was sung on the barricades during the 1830s

“A National Guardsman who had taken aim at Enjolras lowered his gun, saying: ‘It seems to me that I am about to shoot a flower.’”

[Enjolras], like Harmodius, thought flowers good for nothing except to conceal the sword.”

OPENING UP MY INBOX FOR THE WEEK!

How? Send me a screenshot of any donation (you can censor private info) and a doodle request and I will post it and tag you

When? For the next 7 days!

What will doodles look like? Black and white as I will be using my work tablet to draw at school. Like this!

Why? Israel has been blockading any attempt at sending aid and people are being purposefully starved. We have never seen such a quick and deliberate starvation of this many people in the history of mankind. It is genocide. This fandom cares about the causes of the wretched of the Earth so put our money where our mouth is.

I've just donated $25.00 to Maram Ahmed, mother of three, Malik (8 years old), Ibrahim (6 years old), and Ziad (3 years old), #575 on @gazavetters. Her husband has been injured and is unable to work and she needs money to buy food as prices skyrocket and the blockade continues. They used to own a shop but it has been destroyed. Please consider donating to her, but I will accept other charities.

(tagging @barricadeday just in case they feel like sharing, no pressure)

“Be curious about what you’re writing about” is not stock Common Writing Advice but it really, really should be. There are a lot of written works that fail due to the authors just being obviously incurious about what they are writing about.
