By the time this chapter cover appears Britain will either be neck-deep in an election campaign or on the cusp of one, so despite writing these words over a month previously I’ll take the liberty of announcing that String will going on a two-month hiatus. Chapter Three – “Mind the Gap” – will begin on Tuesday 17 December and will update, as usual, every Tuesday and Friday thereafter.

For anyone coming across this comic for the first time and wondering what’s there to do round this here website for the next two months, you can catch up with Nancy Brilligan’s adventures keeping London safe from the Malign Forces of Randomness by starting right here with the first chapter!

You can also find a fun “String”-themed Spotify playlist and a couple of very fetching downloadable wallpapers here! Not much else in terms of moichandising right now, but watch this space!
