The Kickstarter for printed copies of volume four is now up! You can grab the new book, previous volumes, PDFs, and other goodies by backing, go take a look and spread the word!
We already made the funding goal (in 14 hours, no less!) but there are some neat stretch goals it'd be nice to reach, so go take a look and grab some books!

Is it still shipping if I think they make great friends? Such complimentary personalities.
Talking about Mal and Ben of course. Wolfe and Barber make great associates.
You could ship them as moirails (from Homestuck: basically a best friends situation ramped-up to life partner but no sex, just the emotional connection).
Friendshipping is a thing!
Love Mal's look of studied innocence in panel 3.
Oh, this has so many opportunities for shenanigans...
Harry and Mal are my two favorite characters. Lotsa great characters here, but these two are my favorites. I love any panel that features either one of them, and I can't wait for them to meet someday.
It is entirely a coincidence that they are both smokers.
(However.... I started reading Widdershins after a young, Russian Orthodox gal from a pipe-smoking board urged us all to check out the young, English, pipe-smoking gal in a web comic.)
They already did meet! And were none too impressed with each other: [http://www.widdershinscomic...](http://www.widdershinscomic.com/wdshn/february-1st-2012/ "http://www.widdershinscomic.com/wdshn/february-1st-2012/")
Though Wolfe seemed to get along fine with Harry, which really wasn't the case for Mal and Sidney.
I want the coat Nicola is wearing.
Good luck indeed, Ben.
It's based on a real one! Made it a bit less grand, though [http://www.osfcostumerental...](http://www.osfcostumerentals.org/stock/17th%20-%2018th%20Century%20Restoration/Men's%20Wear/17th%2018th%20C%20Coats%20-%20Suits/slides/09018156%20coat%20mens%2018th%20Century%20tan%20wool%20C46.html "http://www.osfcostumerentals.org/stock/17th%20-%2018th%20Century%20Restoration/Men's%20Wear/17th%2018th%20C%20Coats%20-%20Suits/slides/09018156%20coat%20mens%2018th%20Century%20tan%20wool%20C46.html")
Nicola's idea of civilian dress is to dress like an 18th century infantry officer.... why am I surprised?
Aw... No dress for Ms Nicola. Guess it was too much to hope for.
But what you lose in freedom of motion, you gain in concealable weapons!
But yeah, not her style it seems.
Still looking super classy, though!
Ben and Mal, you adorable idiots. :)
It's like how I used to get into trouble. I'd just follow my brothers trying to convince them it was a stupid idea to do whatever.
Something tells me that the two of them are going to save the day...in spite of themselves... >;-D
Nicola, so tomboyish she can make Harry seem fashion-minded. :P
As of Panel 2, I'm shipping.
Well, not intensely shipping. I think if Wolfe and Barber had a friendship it'd be fun to watch. I'm, like . . . friend-shipping. Or as I say when being TL;DR about Discworld: "Vet&Vimes? I don't slash them, I just ampersand them."
Cheers to that!
Was going through the archive and just realized the woman at the next table over seems to be holding a handkerchief over her nose and glaring at Mal, which amuses me almost as much as Mal's fake innocent look in the third panel.
