Heather and Whitney rolled for single issues and decided that we would pick surprise issues for each other: “not all robots” Mark Russell and and artist Mike Deodato Jr's limited run of 5 issues from AWA Studios and "Save Yourself! by Bones Leopard, Kelly and Nichole Matthews. (not all robots is mature and some trrigger warnings are needed) 

Heather and Whitney kneaded to do something special for the cookbook roll, ands Frida's Fiesta was the obvious pick for us as lovers of family, friends, and social gaming!
