Good news

Its been a while i know .

but i thought id share some uplifiting news that came out of Hong kong recently. For the first time Hong Kong has put in place a minimum wage for workers, appropriately announced on may day might i add (also international workers day incase you didnt know)
This step has been long overdue, however many still argue that this wont be enough to narrow Hong Kongs large wealth gap. But a step in the right direction nonetheless.

Vive les travailleurs!


In other news work on the graphic novel is well underway, and hopefully some visuals will be up soon (maybe even tomorow).

I know, i spoil you.
