Meeting you, our readers (aka followers aka fans?), at festivals is always a heartwarming experience. There’s something truly special about connecting with people from all corners of the world who find a piece of themselves in our stories. Traveling to different conventions and countries, we’re constantly reminded of the vast, diverse community that stares into our little comic universe.

It can be overwhelming at times, the sheer scale of faces and stories, but it’s also incredibly rewarding. Each smile, each shared laugh, and every story you tell us about how our comics touched your life keeps us going. Thank you so much for that. And if we ever appear weird or exhausted, please don’t take it personally, it’s just what we are at times.

In this comic by War and Peas, a person sets a mouse trap with cheese, mocking the mouse by saying 'Haha, dumb mouse.' The mouse, near the cheese, responds 'Yeah. I do love cheese.' The mouse then expresses its love for cheese, stating 'I love cheese so much, I'm prepared to die for it,' and asks the person if they have ever loved anything so much. The person, reflecting on the question, responds sadly with 'No...' while the mouse is trapped. Feeling remorseful, the person opens the trap and frees the mouse, who escapes with the cheese. The final panel shows the mouse joining other mice in a cozy home, saying 'Haha, humans are chumps.'
