Hello, I’ve been a big fan of Hinges ever since I’ve read it and I’ve been wondering. Do the Puppet people need to eat? They don’t seem to need to breath (Orio is nonplussed about the fact that she was underwater and wasn’t holding her breath at all). Q2

Oh, my gosh!

Thank you!

I'm really happy people keep finding HINGES year after year.

To answer your questions:

Nobody needs to eat or breath. Except for Bauble. Citizens, Orderlies, and Odds just do it as a luxury. Bauble is the only truly living thing, as we understand it, in this universe. Though, if I had explored the world a bit longer, this might have panned out differently. In my head he was never the only one of his kind.I'm gonna level with you, that close to the climax, I probably forgot to age his bubbles. But if you wanna read more into it, maybe he was just dropping the act that he was like them at all... I could pretend to be that kind of deep thinker.There's not much in the way of extra art. Most of it ended up in the books or Kickstarter promo material. I kinda just jump into projects without a lot of brainstorming. I'm trying to be better about that... but it's an ongoing thing.

Seriously though. Thank you so much! It really makes my day that people still come back to HINGES.
