Day 4 is here and this may be the day we reach our goal, but not without your help!

Rat King #1 is the first of a five-issue miniseries about two NYC rats that venture into the depths of the sewers. Along the way, they’ll get pulled into a deadly political game.

Look who’s in town! We are showing Francesca all the sights in Philly, though we should’ve saved more time for the art museum.

Signed mini-prints are officially in town, so now we just need the games to leave port so we can send everything your way.

Please also check our newest comic, Rat King!

I really love this image by Francesca for Flooded Detour for the little rat that is joining our friend in escaping from the flood!

I really hope this game will encourage kids and families to remember this tragedy in a way that invites curiosity, friendship, and empathy!

Want to learn more about the weird folklore of Massachusetts?

Weirder After Dark is a really great podcast by three local New Englanders, Sean, Cathy, and Chris, who mix stories with a good bit of fun to tell these stories.

They’ve even done an episode on the Great Molasses Flood!
