Fantasy comedy about a magic knight trying to have a romance in his second language
The gap between “how other people see the Woman in Black” and “how the WiB sees herself” is…unusually wide.
Would you believe, this is [the last piece of] non-exclusive bonus art from Leif & Thorn Volume 3? Here we are, deep into the Volume 4 campaign, and I still have Volume 3 extras to post.
If you want to see the exclusive bonus art — in this and all the other books — and you haven’t already picked up the full backlist, the current campaign is a great place to do it. Just saying.
…and, uh, if you need a little uplifting palate-cleanser after a strip like this, let’s go take a look at how well the Kickstarter is doing.
Volume 4 tier spotlight: Total Package But Make It Backlist
For when you missed the earlier books, but now you gotta have all the cool extras. Go from “new fan” to “superfan” in one step.
Volume 4 not-a-tier spotlight: Add-Ons Menu
Want more books? Extra prints? Limited-edition pins? Merch from the artist’s other comic? A joke about NFTs? Make your pledge, then pick your own custom combo platter from the “Add-ons (optional)” list that pops up.
Funding is at $4,000 exactly! Only $200 more to go. That’s 100 add-on mini-prints…or 40 add-on ebooks…or 2 add-on Nice Fun Tokens.
Real-world: a study found COVID vaccines are good for your mental health!
They also seem to help some people with lingering post-virus physical symptoms. It’s not what they were designed to do, and as of this writing we don’t know why they’re doing it — but the data say it’s happening.
Volume 4 tier spotlight: The Backlist
New arrival who only just found out about Leif & Thorn? Long-time fan who finally cleared the shelf space for some paperbacks? Get the full set, Volumes 1-4, in a single package.
They don’t have Halloween in Ceannis…but IRL it’s October, so let’s get scary!
Trivia: I originally drew that shot of Kudzu for the strip where the cult expert gives Bennet her talk. Ended up deciding it would be more effective to fill that space with “copy-and-paste repeats of the Northwind staffers’ faces, but with Glowy Eyes of Mind Control this time.”
Bonus points to anyone who digs up all the other previous strips that are referenced here.
Original design for Goldenrod, the psychic parole officer.
In canon she doesn’t have the cape — they’re a sign of a high-level magical girl, and I decided she shouldn’t be that powerful (yet). She hasn’t been seen with the scepter yet either, but maybe one day…
Her big appearance is all in Volume 4, so I figured I had to share this just in time for the Volume 4 print campaign.
Patreon supporters, remember this alternate ending from Borrowing Trouble? And how part of the reason I scrapped it was, it was too random and coincidental to be narratively satisfying, there wasn’t enough setup?
Well…here is some setup. Just in case I decide to bring it back.
