Should they throw caution to the wind? How will their friends, family, the NHL react? It’s a challenge to keep their relationship a secret when they’re both so happy, which is making them-particularly Bitty-sad. But he’s also been really distracted, because he and his former teammate, Jack Zimmermann, who is now playing professional hockey in the NHL, have been secretly dating. He’s one of the rulers of the hockey haus now, keeping everyone in line and keeping them full with all of his baking. He’s come a long way since freshman year, when he used to faint if someone rushed to check him! This graphic novel series was amazing! It was full of fun, emotion, hockey, friendship, love, and baking, plus the struggles of self-acceptance and worrying what others think of you.Įric “Bitty” Bittle is now a junior at Samwell University and a key player on its hockey team. Dark Horse Comics will also release a print version of Turtle Bread in October 2023.Check, Please! Book 2: Sticks & Scones gave me all the freaking feels, y’all!!

As soon as I was introduced, I instantly loved Alti and her work.” Kim-Joy continued, "I’m in absolute awe of Alti’s artwork in the book–it is so expressive and emotive you can really feel a connection to the characters on each page. It’s NOT a magical story about how baking and friendship fix everything, but a story about the small steps forward (and sometimes sideways and backwards) gradually adding up." Hence: Turtle Bread! (And yes, there’s actual turtle themed bread! Plus loads of other recipes). This is explored through baking, and in particular, the symbolism of the turtle–coming out of its shell and moving forward however slowly that may be. “It’s about that feeling of loneliness, of not fitting in or feeling good enough, of self-criticism, and the path towards self-acceptance. “Turtle Bread is a book about self-awareness,” said Kim-Joy in Comixology's press release.
Turtle Bread marks her first comic book work, as well as Firmansyah's first full-length graphic novel. Great British Bake Off fans may recall that Kim-Joy was a finalist in the 2018 season, and later went on to win the Bake Off's New Year 2022 special.
