Not as awkward as if he'd asked where babies came from.
Not a high bar to clear, that one. ;P
Me and the bae awake at 3 am on a Tuesday getting hype about Widdershins updates
Never mind that lot. Is the purple hippo of happiness OK?
Asking the important question
Is he ever not?
He gets upset if you call him pink.
And never ever call him a monkey
Oh man, I hope we still get to hear Mal's take of events even with Sidney's inevitable (and all-too in character) derailment...
Hey Kate, is book 7 the last of this particular group? I've seen comments that you intend to continue the tale, but is it this gang complete? (Shipping is abhorrent, and taxes are tricky, so I've been planning to pick up the whole 'lot' of the books in one go. Easier that way, you see...)
Also: Hi! I caught up this tale's archives during the Gluttony arc, before it became apparent it had anything to do with Gluttony, or even the main Widdershins plot as a whole. Talk about a rough patch to run out of archives in... but man, being able to pause and linger over pages like this page makes the daily read worth it. Congratulations on an incredible tale! :)
Hello, and thanks! This is the last book of the sins arc- I'm not quite done with some of our main characters here, but it is intended to be a good jumping on/off point! I've whittled the shipping down as far as possible for a book set, as you'll see when the Kickstarter is live, but it is what it is! Managed to halve my original UK estimate, at least...!
Ah, excellent, thank you so much! I live in the antipodes of the planet. I accept that shipping sucks, I just appreciate when people do what they can to make my life easier. That definitely counts! :)
Excellent news, I've been waiting for the full set to come out before buying too for the same reason. Shipping is more than the cost of the item itself for most kickstarters nowadays :/
Oh, this smile of Mal in the sixth panel, and his hand over Wolfe's hand, and their general poses, and Mal's "tp!" in the fourth panel...
All of this! And his adorable embarrassed-but-pleased expression in panel 4, and the way his hand is resting lightly on Wolfe's in panel 6 but tightens its grip at Sid's question...
yup yup yup
And I love how Wolfe is just sitting there with his arm around Mal’s shoulders. I think they’re both really glad to have each other back.
In another part of the world, that's where she is, and nobody here even knows where that is.
Also: AAAAAAH Only one page left, won't we even know how Henry is? Well, Kate, I'm glad you'll be going on with the story, and hope you'll take a lot of time to rest before you go on, those stories are so good because you put a lot of love in them, so, take your time, we can wait!
Yeah seriously we'll need more answers than that about some of the other characters!
of course! this chapter is already long enough though.
Okay, that's a relief! :D
Yeah, Henry is my worry with Harry possibly away for a long time, if she needs to go all Nellie Bly to get back.
It's the 19th century. People've got to have a general idea of where the other anchors by now, right? The British knew about Mount Everest by 1847, so...
Voss has been to the anchor at Chomolungma (Mt. Everest). However it looks like Harry went to the Pacific island anchor. The Europeans know approximately where that is, but no European expedition to it has ever come back.
Mal: "Oh, phew."
Mal: unsure where to put himself
Mal: "Bugger."
You had ONE job, O'Malley!
ONE JOB!
... and ...
he performed it fantastically. What happened to harry was in no way his job
Yep
SOMEONE HUG MAL :(
I thought it is what Wolfe is doing now. :)
Learning how to build and sail a boat, that's where!
So long as she doesn't make friends with a bloody soccer ball.
Hey! Don't diss Wilson. It's bad enough he lost out on the nomination for Best Supporting Actor Academy Award!
Wow, I'm amazed that this chapter is finally wrapping up.
me too :|

The world has changed so much since then. Widdershins, too.
[Vanishes back into invisible door.]
Invisible doors are so convenient for dodging uncomfortable conversations.
Oh, she's away on some tropical island somewhere. You guys have been out for a LONG time.
Oh Sid, that smile won't stay for long.
What hurts is that you can tell he's already guessed that but is trying to stay hopeful because he's Sid.
"he's Sid" is the most Sid comment :D
Well, this is a problem.
"off on an adventure!"
It ends on Friday???
It will be fun to see Harry again, perhaps sipping a pina colada out of a coconut shell.
But what about Island-Witch? Mountain-Witch? Deep Sea Anglerfish-Witch? They promised to meet us soon, right?

Two references telling Sid to "look after Gren for me".

I think that means Harry's not coming back on the next page. It'll be in a future after-the-Sins story.
I love how you are now committed to this whole fourth-anchor deep-sea-anglerfish-witch thing XD
This is where Harry strolls jauntily out of Mal's door. "Right here, Sid."
And then Henry runs in and is like "Hey everyone i lived!" Then they all do a lovely dance and live happily ever after with no issues ever at all.
There is something about Mal and Wolfe's relationship that reminds of me of Sherlock and John (modern BBC version). The blond ex-soldier who's calm unless his friends are threatened and a bit good with the ladies, the thin dark haired jerk who has a special "power" and only really likes his one friend, etc. Plus the imagery of the blue scarf and the violin. It's not a ripoff my any means but it certainly fills the void in between those long season breaks!
> and only really likes his one friend
Well, it could be true (for Mal) three years ago, but it isn't any more... I guess.
Except that Wolfe is tall and handsome... and Mal isn't a showoff lol
Sorry, your Barber is at another Anchor!
Mal will be hanging around the anchor a lot, checking if the other witch & Harry have gotten to the in-between space yet.
I can't believe you are leaving us with a cliff-hanger!!! Yikes.
Not really a cliff hanger, Harry has a long journey ahead of her and lots of people to terrorise before she gets home to quote terry pratchett..
“...Granny Weatherwax, who had walked nightly
without fear in the bandit-haunted forests of the mountains all her life
in the certain knowledge that the darkness held nothing more terrible
than she was...”
Harry may not be a witch but i think shes got a Granny vibe.
WOW i just binge read the whole thing and what a ride
I love how Mal seems calmer about telling them all that he accidentally ripped their souls out of their bodies than when faced with the prospect of telling a man that the woman he (obviously) loves took a door that left her on the other side of the world and he can't open the door to get her back.
Mal isn't good at dealing with emotional stuff under any circumstances, and telling Sid about Harry will be a particularly fraught conversation.
Well he's been able to put their souls back but he's kinda at a loss on what to do to bring Harry back.
The one question asked by Sidney that Mal did not want to have asked. "Where's Harry?"
So...lots of filler material starting next Tuesday?
yep, some Q&As, some guest art, til August 20th. i need some time to sharpen up on some art things, properly square away the next book's plot, and maybe make some site changes too. lotta plans!
I'm gonna go out on a limb and say she's in Tibet
Was Tibet Tibet back then? I know the countries have changed a bit. I'm pretty sure Tibet was still Tibet, though (whoa, "Tibet" just stopped sounding like a real word).
Looking at the design of the doors, the one she did not take looks like the one that goes to Tibet. The one she did take looks more like the one for the Pacific islands.
Oh, the Pacific Islands are much nicer
I'm going to assume that the Pacific Islands anchor is located on Skull Island until proven otherwise.
"What the hell was that?"
"Well, ah accidentally ripped yer spirits out of ye...."
"WHAT?!"
So the entire story has been leading here whats next?
Time to start leading elsewhere :)
Dance party?
Tibet?
"Sheeeeeeeeee...'ad t' step away f'r a moment few minutes few hours few days few weeks few months few years few decades lifetime rather indefinite period o' time..."
