Check, Please! is a 2013 webcomic written and illustrated by Ngozi Ukazu. It follows vlogger and figure skater-turned-ice hockey player Eric "Bitty" Bittle as he deals with hockey culture in college, as well as his identity as a gay man. Ukazu provides fans of Check, Please! a variety of extra content through her Tumblr and a dedicated Twitter account, establishing a piece of transmedia storytelling to expand on worldbuilding. A large fan base has accumulated around Check, Please!, and when Ukazu set up a Kickstarter campaign to fund the physical release of a first volume of the webcomic, she reached her goal with ease. In November 2019, Ukazu started up a Kickstarter to fund a Check Please! "chirpbook" containing Bitty's best tweets. The Kickstarter surpassed her goal within a single day.

  • Check, Please! är en transmedial webbserie skapad av 2013 som berättas dels i seriebokformat och via Twitter. Serien följer den homosexuelle vloggaren, amatörkonditorn och före detta konståkaren, Eric "Bitty" Bittle som börjar på det fiktiva Samwell University på ett hockeystipendium. Serien följer Eric Bittles på skolan och publicerades initialt i någorlunda realtid, men har efter hand halkat efter. Utöver själva serien driver Ukazu även ett Twitterkonto åt huvudpersonen. Serien är tillgänglig gratis dels via Tumblr och sedan maj 2017 även på en egen hemsida, medan Twitterkontot nu mer är låst. Ukazu lägger upp utdrag från Twitter på både Tumblr och hemsidan och det går att följa den mot betalning via Patreon. (sv)

In November 2019, Ukazu started up a Kickstarter to fund a Check Please! "chirpbook" containing Bitty's best tweets. The Kickstarter surpassed her goal within a single day. In 2021, Ukazu started a Kickstarter to fund a Year Four release with one of the rewards including a new comic entitled "Madison" taking place between Years Two and Three. On the final day of the campaign, the Check Please! Year Four Kickstarter became the most funded webcomics Kickstarter ever. In May 2017, Ukazu created an official website for Check, Please. On April 7, 2020, book two of Check, Please! came out in bookstores, containing the comic's ending before it was posted on the website. Ukazu then started posting the remaining comics one a day onto the website ending on April 11 with the final comic which was itself entitled Check, Please!. However, the Year Four comic "Parse" and the Extra comic "Pranks" were left as existing only in book two and have not been posted to either the Tumblr page or the official comic page. (en)

I juni 2017 tillkännagavs det att Ukazu skrivit på kontrakt för två Check, Please!-serieböcker. Böckerna kommer innehålla Bittys två första år på Samwell (som redan publicerats på seriens Tumblr samt hemsida) samt tidigare outgivet extramaterial. Böckerna beräknas komma ut hösten 2018 och hösten 2019. (sv)
