Summary:
Jack’s having the best season of his life. He’s also been acting stranger than he has since…well, since before the draft. Bad Bob jumps to conclusions.
Did it take me months to fill a prompt in a challenge I started? Yes, it did. This is ridiculous and I’m sorry but it’s just so much fun to write Bad Bob POV.
it's very funny that in the check please universe it's like
"oh poor jack zimmermann...hope he recovers"
"oh he recovered and won the stanley cup"
"oh he gay"

Here is the original version. I was going for an ornate spider design. I feel I really leveled up on my ability to draw little water or glass droplets though. Those are my favorite part.
A number of people requested that I turn my Star Projector photoshoot into a painting so here it is :) It's still very wintery here in Sweden, so there has been lots of inspiration for snowy wonders~
Here are the photos that I took as inspiration! You can find more photos on my Star Projector Kickstarter page
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.
