“The anchor made me do it”
Oh, it’s these two again…
Oh! it’s These two again ^^
For the sake of clarity, I would like to declare the twins are Those Two, which is discrete from These Two.
For the sake of clarity I would like to observe that These Two are not being very discreet.
They’re also looking less discrete by the minute.
Man, getting his door slammed into his face (accent not transcribed): “Ow, it’s these two again!”
and.. displaying an unseemly amount of leg/arm between them, too. Im sure Those Two will object.
The twin budgerigars are having the worst day … and I’m here for it. 😄
Ah, Thea… Yeah, you’d better bake them a cake. And don’t get put out if they decide to throw it at you. Your menu for the foreseeable future may well be a full-course meal of crow, my dear.
Honestly, I think Thea is considerably less to blame than Pacifica herself is! It was clearly Pacifica’s doing, while Thea wasn’t even showing up for awhile. But how do you get an Anchor to apologize?
Thea wasn’t ‘fighting from the inside’, as far as we could see.
Yes, Pacifica was in charge, but Thea seemed … cooperative.
I see Nyree’s got her arm around Nicky, so it looks like they are finally on the same page.
I have felt the weary resignation that reads off the twins in the last panel. I feel a little twinge of empathy, as it does suck to have everything go wrong like that. But it's drowned out by the waves of catharsis at seeing them finally breaking.
Also, Thea, as a younger sibling let me tell you that you are never hearing the end of this. Oh they'll forgive, but there's no forgetting this. Sorry.
Harry could tell her about that…
Guess who’s back
Back again
Nyree’s back
With a friend
And poor O’Malley! Is he always going to feel a headache when the other witches knock to be let in?
Can I just say again how dang sexy Sidney is with that beard? ’Cause he is!
Knok knok, visitors in your headspace. Hate it when the knocker for the extradimensional door is your noggin.
And of course that’s Wolfe’s coat Thea has around her shoulders!
Pardon, but has there been any reason given for Instability having been summoned in the first place?
I’m pretty sure it was a case of strong emotions + anchor = unintentional summon.
Loving this arc, but sooooo sad that it’s coming to an eventual end.
Will Widdershins still be available online as an archived comic?
absolutely, yes! widdershins will be available online, free, forever! this is very important to me :)
THANK YOOOOUUU!!!!!!!
Thank you!!!
But if I’m ever feeling flush, do you ship to the US? These tariffs can’t last forever…..
I do, and currently the tariffs don’t apply to books! the kickstarter for the last volume is coming soon, with the best price i can possibly do for shipping a full 3kg set of books..!
Perfect!!
Interrupted by an important foreign diplomat who they cannot possibly criticise. Blake and Bryony have no control here.
Wolfe and Ben’s expressions in the 4th panel are priceless.
Wolfe gave Thea his jacket in between pages! Daaaaw! Always the gentleman!
Captain Nicky looks quite fetching with her hair down and clutching a big knife With Intent.
Is there a reason for us to launch the Good Ship Nyrole … or perhaps Nicree … ?
I think that ship is already cruising.
https://www.widdershinscomic.com/wdshn/november-26th-2025
But yes, it may be time to give it a fetchy name.
It is good to see that the ship did not go down once the immediate emergency ended.
The witches are all united for the first time!
Yeah, Harry knows whats up.
Perhaps Arpana will also make an appearance to meet the newest witch.
Nyree could have put some clothes on. This is a respectable coronation!
She’s an invited guest of honor and she’s already late. It would be very rude not to arrive as soon as possible.
That IS formal wear in her culture!
I’ve been reading webcomics since back in the Darken days and most of the webcomics I’ve read have fallen off one by one. Widdershins has a lot of the things that I love about webcomics, how the tone is set by the illustration style, the chance to develop characters and stories over years and be able to instantly get back to when you last saw them and get lost re-reading the archives. Having a check in and community with people who aren’t going to be jerks on the internet. The point of this post was to ask for recommendations for other genre webcomics or just good quality webomics. I find webtoons intimidating and am not crazy about infinite canvas outside of special occasions but it’s not a total deal breaker. Wasn’t crazy about Lore Olympus because my taste is more family-friendly. I haven’t gotten into anything newer then Wayne Family Adventures but am looking to try newer stuff with a reasonable archive.
Some of my other favorite narrative-driven webcomics:
Girl Genius by Phil and Kaja Foglio: https://girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php
Sword Interval by Benjamin Fleuter: https://www.webtoons.com/en/supernatural/sword-interval/list?title_no=486
Castle Swimmer by Wendy Lian Martin: https://www.webtoons.com/en/fantasy/castle-swimmer/list?title_no=1499
Namesake by Meg and Isa: https://www.namesakecomic.com/
Narbonic by Shaenon K Garrity: https://www.narbonic.com/
Several of these are ‘finished’ projects (Sword Interval, Narbonic), the others are ongoing.
Sword Interval is super-great and also has a lil cameo of Harry and Sid, try and spot them!
May I give a helping hand in the spotting? 😀
… Could have sworn I was logged in… XD
I have a links page with some of my favs (and friends!) here.
In particular, given what you’ve said about genre, tone and audience, I’d highlight The Property of Hate !
There’s also lot of great comics at Chimera, the webring i’m in- you can sort them by genre and age rating too, which is handy. From there I like Tiger Tiger and Phantomarine a lot.
I can recommend:
Sombulus
Marble Gate Dungeon
Scurry
Kaspall
Spare Keys for Strange Doors
And a couple that are very good but incomplete and no longer updating:
Snow by Night
Daughter of the Lilies
And of course, copy paste Girl Genius
I was very fortunate to get Shaenon to do the covers for my Tom Vargas book series, and Ben to do both my TTRPG and the cover for my next novel. I highly recommend them both.
If you want something original I can recommend The Shifting City
<3
I don’t read all that many webcomics, but I do recommend:
Gifts of Wandering Ice by Olga Markova. It starts out in black and white and transitions later to color: https://giftscomic.com/
Stand Still, Stay Silent by Minna Sundberg is also very good. It is completed now, so you can read it as fast as you like: https://sssscomic.com/
“The new queen’s coronation of attended by three witches?! Surely her time will be blessed!”
“Also, bog-off you two, you’re causing a diplomatic incident on the day of her majesty’s ascension to the throne!”
“But mostly just bog-off you two”.
The denouement of the story is so satisfying, BUT IF WE DON’T FIGURE OUT FLORRIE’S HUSBAND I’M GOING TO LOSE IT
I’ve wondered since we were introduced to Florrie if her “husband” actually exists…
I heard he lives in Canada…
Conveniently far away
Ngl I just want to see her and Wolfe together :,) the boy deserves that and I feel like it’s been hinted at for so long
At this point it would be pretty funny if it’s just a Mrs. Columbo situation and we never see him on-camera
He was an absolute rotter, so no-one minded when he mysteriously disappeared, about the time Florrie had some work done in the cellar of Roslyn House by that handsome builder. You remember him - the one who died so tragically when he fell from the roof while replacing some tiles.
Guess who has a knife and wants to ~staab someoneee~
Yay the lesbians hath returned!!!
What Nyree is saying in Te Reo is something like “Tada!” or “Magical Entrance!” like a stage magician
Thanks, I couldn’t figure it out
If Nicola stays in Widdershins while dating Nyree, that means she’ll have to interact with O’Malley every time she wants to visit…. could speed up the Aotearoa move-in process.
