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 (12)

Brutally honest Ben
i would simply not say that to a potential employer but maybe i'm built different
‘Heroine’?! Isn’t that a bit unprogressive?
Eh the character isn't the author, always.
Having a heroic female main character is unprogressive? I don't follow.
There is a small push to de-gender the language around certain roles/jobs, actors/actresses both becoming actors, etc. So protagonists of any gender would be called "heroes", rather than separated into heroes or heroines.
Opinions vary, but its not an uncommon occurrence to see it in print.
In our world, nowadays; but would this be consistent with the general milieu of Widdershins?
"Little stories"? Ouch.
I love that Ben says "my friends enjoy your stories", not "my colleagues" or something. He's admitting that he, Wolfe, and Mal are friends now!
The era's version of nsfw fanfic...
Better than ‘puerile illiterate verbal compost’, which was Ben was actually thinking.
I was just pulling Bailey’s leg a little.
