You are amazing. It has been a pretty rough week all around, but every time we opened our e-mail, we were surprised by yet another piece of rad art from you.
You are the wind beneath our neurotoxic, bladed wings.
XO,
R&M

Sometimes when we record an episode, there is a joke we secretly hope people will decide to draw. Episode 18‘s was definitely CarrotStorm, and you did not disappoint.

ANYWAY.
From Adam Reck, a moment of cross-Schism accord:

Thank you, again, so much. <3
If you (you!) have been making X-Plain the X-Men art and want to see it up here, e-mail it to xplainthexmen (at) gmail (dot) com, and let us know how you’d like to be credited!
These are fantastic!
