## From the post on ruby.social

Page 223 got more than a signature. @roli took out the markers and coloured the whole page: green foxes, orange shorts, pink shadows behind the cats. Then he signed it at @helvetic_ruby 2023:

On the page the foxes find the pen _why used to draw the book, and ask it for legs. They got legs. Now they have colours too.
