eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee !!!
harry is humouring 3 very excited people today
...Ooh, is that an early version of the Pattern 1839 Musket? I can't get enough detail to see whether it's a flintlock or percussion lock/cap; could we get a closeup at a later date?
Must be converted. The frizzen on the original lock sits forward of the trigger guard; we'd be able to see it in the final panel.
As I understand it - and I won't lie; I had to look it up - they were starting to convert en masse around this time, and I couldn't see a frizzen on this page, either. I was originally thinking that the Queen's guards would get new, not flintlocks repurposed to take percussion caps - but you're probably right about them being conversion jobs.
This must be how other people feel when I go ape on WWII firearms. 🤣
Heh. Reminds me of the time that Steve Jackson Games was looking for playtesters for its GURPS WWII line. I took one look at the people who would end up doing the playtesting, and I said, "Nope. I am not qualified to be a SPECTATOR at this one." :)
I do believe that's the cutest I've ever seen Harry.
This new playful side to her is unexpected but not at all unwelcome.
She knows Sid's gonna propose to her this weekend. So she's got that to look forward to.
Love softens anyone. <3
Henry and Izzy are going to help? Ooh, this will be fun!
The two little kids teasing the guard in the first panel crack me up. 😂
Gren looking balefully at the other guard in the fourth panel is cute too. 😁
just realised I'm looking forward to seeing Harry and Nicola interact, I wonder how their relationship is these days?
Re-posting an anime version of Harriet Barber, I'll surely miss her when the Widdershins webcomic concludes.
Where is this from?
This is an AI creation using the PicSo app.
AI-generated art?!
Ha, ha, I like seeing Harriet smiling.
Ah so a hallucination.
Just right, except for the smile.
Wait. Does this mean we’re going to have to split the bounty four ways?
Henry and Isa are about to take their payment in the form of hors d'oeuvres.
This is gonna end with the Sins seeing him and going either 🙄 or 😠 ...
Sidney noticing Henry's wink to him is cute. I really like this laid-back playful side of Harry. It also shows assurance that she is fine with her well known father helping her out on a job from the new queen (where he might get the credit even if she was the one asked). It just really feels like she is comfortable where she is at and with what she has and that is nice to see (same with some of the other characters in previous pages).
this is so cute 😭
Sis's fanboying and Gren is giving the Redcoats attitude.
I absolutrly agree that Harry and Nicola interacting will be fun ... if Eliza mixes in ...
Is it bad that my first thought was "that's not how you hold a gun at port arms!" ? The hand should be MUCH closer to the butt of the gun (panel 4). Even if you want to keep your finger on the trigger (which wouldn't be the goal; the goal is "barrier" not "shooting"), your elbow would be a good deal lower; those guns are HEAVY!
My second thought was "hey, the shoulder stock should be straight, not bent like that!" (panels 1 and 4) No one could shoot a gun with a gunstock sat between their arm and chest, rather than at their shoulder. That's a recipe for broken ribs!
