Thanks Cole! I've been trying to work "Gollywompers" into conversations to see if I can bring it back. So far, no takers. @LittleBrownYR @StudioMDHR

Thanks, Jordan. Loved the nod to 1930's cartoons, it's a fun world to get to play around in. @LittleBrownYR @StudioMDHR

It's a gift... and a curse.

That's awesome. You made my day @CarterCuphead!
My mom preordered Cuphead in Carnival Chaos and The Art of Cuphead for me about a week ago. The novel came yesterday afternoon and I finished it this afternoon. It was the greatest book I have ever read! Studio MDHR and Ron Bates, thank you so much for making this! 💖💖💖
