Your entire career gets five stars, at least from me. (Doesn't count for much, I know, but hopefully it's better than nothing 😂😉)

Sarah, that means more than any amount of fame and money.

I would also, to be clear, like fame and money.

Congratulations, Adam! Love your work and now, this newsletter, and also, especially, your newsletter header? Who knew a nicely designed newsletter header was something one would widen their eyes for? But I did.

Oh, thank you, Meera! It was nice to find a use for that school picture I had to get retaken in the 3rd grade.

Congratulations! Love the five star comic -- especially the one where all five star reviews add up to one five starred review haha

The whole thing is a callback to my confusion, years ago, when I was told I'd gotten my first starred review. I took "starred review" to mean, "a review that employs a star-based rating system," and it didn't sound like much of a distinction. Like a teacher telling you they'd given your recent term paper a letter grade.

Congratulations, Adam! I've been recommending Gumluck to all my friends and nieces. I've just started my fourth read-through with my four-year old. She loves it too!

I don't have a substack (yet) but I have to pop in here and say go, Gumluck, go! Just look at all those stars. Michelin stars for the best chefs only go as high as THREE stars, so you are way ahead and you didn't spend all your money on culinary foam. Book 3 is going to rule.

I hope the roadrunners are talking about how often they’ve been seeing Adam.
