Shaenon: Skin Horse Volume 5 is here and available at the Couscous Store! Have a look! And thanks to everyone who supported the Kickstarter to make this happen.
P.S. Babies.
Channing: Yes, it’s true, your copy of Volume 5 may have been lovingly handled by an actual genuine baby. Robin is a gentle sort, however, so you need not fear folding, spindling or mutilation.
Robin, I presume? Absolutely adorable. ❤️❤️❤️
Babies!
I see that Borderlands is able to stay open after all, which is great news. I endorse the living wage, but I would have hated it if Borderlands became collateral damage.
Will there be a book-launch party? With Robin as special guest? Really, we don’t even need Shaenon and Jeff if we can have Robin!

Well, look at this fellow! Man alive!
He’s got all the Volumes, One through Five!
He teethes on the covers! Chew chew chew!
The pictures are pretty, and they taste good too!
[CHORUS:]
Readin’ Robin! (doot doot doo!)
Readin’ Robin! (doot doot doo!)
Yeah, Robin keeps readin’ that writtin’ we’re rootin’ for!
Blue book and red book! Next one’s green!
Yellow and pink are next ones seen!
Stories they give us, laughs they pack!
Bonus material in the back!
[repeat CHORUS]
It’s revenue for Wells and Garrity,
Buyin’ all the books that you can see!
They’re gonna write some more and, if they do,
They’re makin’ Volume Six and … Seven too!
They raised all the money, made their plans,
Printed those books for all their fans!
All of the volumes, you must buy!
‘Cause if you don’t, this kid will cry!
[repeat CHORUS]

Brilliant, as always. Singing this in my head because I have guests here who are trying to sleep. Tomorrow, though, I will treat the neighbours to a rousing chorus.
I hope you advertise those copies as *used*…
For used books, if the pages have oxidized, they are listed as “slightly foxed”. These could be sold as “slightly robined”.
I didn’t know that meant oxidation! I had assumed it just meant general wear. I have learnt a thing!
Soooo cute that he’s dressed to match in each pic, just want to hug all OVER him!
Heh. Not many people anymore know the phrase “Fold, spindle, or mutilate”. My hat’s off to you, sir.
How much extra for a Robin-“signed” copy? A feature, not a bug… When this former baby wrestler gets famous, think of the bragging rights!
You mean “a bug with a feature”,
How quickly the little cuties grow…
Adorable!
…how DOES Shaenon ever get time to draw? I take my hat off to her.
He doesn’t appear to chew on them like mine would have.
