I wish I could leave a better comment now but

OMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMOGMOMGOMGOMOGOMG
this is bloody brilliant

I still love George and Ringo so much, even though George is a bastard ha ha

this makes me want to pet all of them on the hand and say, "there, there, it's going to be alright." even if it isn't. Love the way the illustration styles change and how the narration comes from each of them at different times.

I hope you both create more of these, because I will totally read them. Aww, Beatleies. My first fandom. Maybe my truest fandom, ever?

YAY I AM SO HAPPY YOU LIKE IT

We were like "omg will anybody else EVEN READ THIS" because it's coming from the very core of our combined Beatles love, so this comment is totally and completely wonderful to get! Thank you thank you!!

YAY

It's funny, because sometimes I feel the Beatles fandom is so deep in my past that I'm "eh, blah that was a LIFETIME ago" and then I read something like this and ARG that last image just kills me OH RINGO and I totally fall back into it again. It never totally goes away.

It's wonderful to read/view something like this and share the core of that love with both of you. I can definitely feel it through the darkness. YAY again!

This is *fantastic.* And fantastically creepy. I love the group shot at the bottom, and George hugging his sitar, and I love how brutal they are to each other, aghghh this is delicious!!

I love how brutal they are to each other

I TOTALLY LOVE THAT YOU SAID THIS, because we wanted the whole thing to be a balance between their obvious love and closeness and the also obvious annoyance and resentment! Thank you so much for such wonderful feedback!!

Jesus Christ. I've never read something like THIS before.

But damn, I loved the style of this story; the tone, the mood, the dialogue, and the narrative were all so unique and worked so well together. I'm jealous!

And gaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah the art. The fucking art!

George looks from one of them to the other, then stands up, exasperated. "Well, I hope you covered your tracks, anyway," he says as he angles himself into his coat.
