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 (18)

This is not going to end well.
And… asciepists?
Zooming in, I believe that's an L, thus "Asclepists."
According to Wikipedia, Asclepius was a Greek god of medicine, so it would be an appropriate sign at a house of healing. Or perhaps boarding house of healing, in this case?
yep it's an L (sorry for my bad handwriting!) so it's "Asclepists" picked after Asclepius (thank you 'medicine through time' gcse history module for this information)
it's a made up word in story also, but Greek myths do seem to exist in Widdershins (i think there's a Bacchus music hall mentioned?) so it seemed reasonable for Ben who is big into books to work out the meaning :)
Eh?
Oh Aesculapius? Ahhhh
Your ghost writer is here, sweety !
This is off to a great start.
Ben's expression in the last panel is tiny, but absolutely incredible
Bailey comes downstairs after a long day of self pity that he can’t write, sees banji, Bailey is revealed as benjis long lost sibling
…. just a thought, nbd
These are brilliant Mez 🥰
This looks like it's going to be a lot of fun. Slightly annoyed I didn't check earlier this week as I thought there wouldn't be anything new until Friday.
Yay for a character wiv a wessvinglun' accent! Aroit me luvver? E's gurt lush, innee?
she's specifically from Beer, Devon! Idk if you know it, but if you do, then telling you she's part Spanish might be of interest :)
(I grew up in Devon, haven't got the accent though. Was too busy losing the Brummie accent I guess XD )
ex-Bristolian myself, but my parents spent a large part of their lives in Devon (Plymouth etc). Widdershins seems to be a magnet for people from all over the country...
go ben
Better him than Jack?
...actually, wait , better idea: send Jack.
I've heard worse superhero names.
"Magic Free Premises"
I hope Ben being a Wizard isn't going to be a problem.
