Hey folks! Time for a daily barrage of lovely guest art and comics, starting out with a little tale from Mez, featuring some of her original characters and a few more familiar faces :) This one's a few pages long, very adorable and should run into next week, so enjoy!
You can find her Widdershins fan Tumblr here, or check our her own comic when it starts updating here!
------------
Psst, we're still in Kickstarter time!
Come
check out the project and pick up a copy of Sea Change, or any of the
other volumes too! And because it's gonna be a big bulk mailing, I can
offer some pretty reasonable prices on shipping outside the UK for
either a copy of the newest book or a set of all ten! These are
Kickstarter-exclusive prices, easily the best they're ever gonna be, so a
good chance to hop on and nab a set!
And to restate this as it's all very important-
So!
As usual, I will be taking a nice long break before the next book, at
least a month. I should be back at the end of October or start of
November, but I gotta see how it goes first. The next book is gonna need
a
lot of prep, and that is because the next volume of Widdershins will be the final one.
Yeah, you heard me! Volume 11 will be the last book. It's an ending i've been working up to for some time now, and I hope y'all enjoy it! I'm a great believer in giving a thing you love a good strong ending while you're still able, and I hope I can live up to that for Widdershins. I still love the comic dearly, but I've been working for a few years now on a bunch of new stories that I'm really interested in telling, and I gotta make time to do that. But not before we get a big silly finale!
What project I get to do next is kinda up to the fates to decide, but please be assured that I will still be around to tell my silly little stories for you regardless.
Thanks again for all of your continued support- If you're enjoying Widdershins, please consider helping me to bring this thing to a great end by backing the kickstarter, or supporting my patreon monthly where I'll soon be uploading some design work for the final book, or if you don't like signing up to stuff you could even simply donate a little to the comic via paypal.
See you soon, and please enjoy the filler material until I return!Comments (10)

Don't say that, he'll try to enlist you
"Maybe I'll try summoning the Seven Deadly Sins myself next time I get writer's block."
Yeah, don't let the Witch of Widdershins hear you suggesting that, Bailey!
Wonder which sin gave him writing compulsion? I’m going with Pride. Knowing Bailey, he probably got the entire set.
I was wondering if anyone would guess, yeah I was imagining it was Pride! :D (I figured we've already seen the sins influence didn't manifest the exact same way all over town with everyone so it probably makes sense?)
I'm looking forward to seeing more of Mez's comics.
thanks haha i hope u enjoy the rest! :) and I'm looking forwards to making more, think I got the bug a bit :)
So...all that talk about hands in the guest comic isn't at all a reflection of you, right? I ask because way too many of the artists of comics I follow seem to have developed hand issues. After just a few years (or decades) of doing comics.
wasn't sure if you were asking me (guest comic artist) or Kate, but speaking for myself: I'm disabled, I use a cane and a wheelchair, which definitely influenced me creating disabled OCs here (as a fan, I was curious about what disability in the world of widdershins could look like) so some aspects of Bailey and Julia's disabilities are drawn from my life, but I don't have any hand-related disabilities myself.
People who work with their hands all the time do often develope issues though so I felt it made sense for Bailey in addition to her other disabilities because she is writing all the time. I don't know anything about Kate's health or situation like that so it definitely wasn't intended as a comment on her!
As someone who draws, eesh, is this a mood LOL
this is why they invented audio to text kids
