Africa Chapter Five Preorders OPEN! (Patreon)

Ready, set, GO! Chapter Five of Africa is getting printed babyyyyy!!

How to even begin to describe this... I cannot believe that this comic is still going strong after a whopping 10+ years of activity. What an amazing milestone to be able to print yet another chapter. This would never have been possible without you. Thank you for believing in me and in this project, I cannot stress how much it means to me that you are making all of this possible.

This is the cover for chapter Five! I hope you like it! It is inspired from the main panel of page 297, I thought it was impactful enough as to base the cover on it :D What do you think?

So! Chapter Five of Africa just concluded and will soon be delivered for printing! And with this post, preorders to buy the printed comic are officially OPEN!
