Every Monday you can read new installments of Next-Door Neighbor over at SMITH Magazine:

“Everybody has one. And, no matter how close or how far, we all live next to someone, and we all have a Next-Door Neighbor story,” says NDN Editor Dean Haspiel. “With this in mind, I asked some of my favorite storytellers and cartoonists to create their favorite NDN stories so that we at SMITH Magazine could share them with you over the next year.”

"Readymechs are free, flatpack toys for you to print and build.  They are designed to fit on an 8.5"x11" page and printed with any printer.  You'll need double-sided tape, thick matte paper, and 10-15 minutes for build time."
