I didn't know it was possible to smoke a hairbrush.
It'll be smoking by the time she's done with it!
So the fourth door wasn't blanked out because the anchor hasn't been found, but because it doesn't have a witch?
Now I'm wondering how an anchor gets it's witch...does the person have to be born within a certain distance of the anchor? The fourth one won't get a witch unless that area gets populated?
I'm thinking its more that the person is born a witch but the door won't appear until they are close to their anchor. Like I'm guessing they were waiting for Mal since he came back to Widdershins?
If the 4th one really is in the middle of the ocean, then it will be very difficult for someone to be born close to it, or within its influence!
I've been wondering if this is why the Americans are after O'Malley. Maybe they've found a way to the (possibly submerged) anchor, and now just need a witch
Still waiting for Kate to introduce us to the Deep Sea Anglerfish Witch!
Maybe it appears when the witch considers the anchor their home. We don't know exactly when the city door appeared - it could have been after Mal got settled in with Ben and Wolfe.
The changes to the anchor that weakened the binding on the Deadlies apparently started as soon as Mal arrived in town, but there's no way to know whether the door appeared then or later.
The suspected mountain witch was already working on Mal's blue scarf since the time Voss visited the other anchor, which I thought happened before Mal came back to Widdershins.
Hmm. I don't know if she was necessarily knitting Mal's scarf... the thing she was making when Voss visited seems to be a lighter shade of blue.
A few months ago in these comments it came up that Mal's spirit-vision may be unique to him and that other witches experience the spirits in their own, different ways. So who knows what Nyree sees.
Anyway, I imagine this page in Mal-o-vision, Harry's spirit constantly looking at and leaning towards that brush.
That's actually...
OK, I'm a bit slow. Sorry, the penny just dropped.
Of course Nyree, being a witch like Mal, will have some link to the spirits. Of what form, that is yet to be discovered. I can hardly wait.
Now there is more to speculate about. We don't see them, but could there be a full menagerie of malforms cartwheeling around Nyree?
If you look at Harry's eyes and body language, she's physically pointed towards the hairbrush tin panels 1 and 2, so even without Mal-o-vision Nyree could see it. I can imagine her spirit would have been focused on it too though!
Heh, and here I thought Harriet was looking for something else (much smaller, brown in color, natural habitat in a pipe or cigarette)
Her shoes are held together with vines! What a great detail!
OH THANKS ALL THE GODS
I like how much Harry relaxes on this page - putting her gun down, sitting on the bed, even smiling. This is probably the first time since she went through the door that she hasn't had to be in a constant state of alertness.
hey even a rough and tumble gal like harry needs some basic hygene sometimes lmao
Especially with that thick, curly hair!
In my experience, hair that thick starts to itch terribly if it isn't washed every day unless you keep it very short.
Errr...speaking for a friend. Who also keeps their hair very short.
"Eh, a little."
Nice touch. Makes me like Nyree more for being honest with Harry and herself, and I liked the character already.
Maybe wash the hair first Harry? XD
[She did](https://widdershinscomic.com/wdshn/september-27th-2019 "https://widdershinscomic.com/wdshn/september-27th-2019")!
As someone whose hair has something of a curl to it like Harry's, I wouldn't be surprised if this long without a brush will mean there are several tangles in there that no brush can get out.
As a fellow wavy hair haver, YES. I have killed brushes if I wait too long.
My hair's straight, but 3 days without brushing and it starts getting really uncomfortable too! Much less the time Harry's been roaming.
Oh, so it's comfort, not self-image? That makes far more sense. I learned something today!
fyi folks, having a drink with my mum and she says she appreciates y'all and how closely you follow the plot, and mum's taste is impeccable so you're blessed
Your Mum reads the comments? Oh dear, I'd better watch my language.
