Nudge 6 has arrived

Biggest, best, most colorful issue of this rag to ever exist.

Hola Goofenbachers,

This is always one of my fave/most stressful moments of the year. The year when you release your kid out into the world and you see if it gets rejected or accepted. I say this with full confidence: there is more art, comedy, and pinball in this issue than ever before. Truly, this is a love letter to the hobby and I’m so proud of how it’s grown. I’m gonna hit you with a link to the SUPER EXCLUSIVE limited edition version right now, but don’t worry — if you’re not sold yet, I’ll show ya everything we packed in!

So what’s in here? A frickin’ ton.
