Hey folks, you might notice the site's looking a little cleaner- that's cus this week, I moved Widdershins off Hiveworks. We're now fully-independent again, which is pretty cool if you hate to see ads all over the shop. It does, however, mean I'm losing out on ad revenue and will have to pay monthly for our lovely comments system. It won't sink me- nothing will at this point, I am very committed to finishing Widdershins and keeping it free online, for you, forever- but it does sting a little.
so hey, if you're feeling flush and in the right sorta mood, please do feel free to support the comic by browsing the Widdershins shop for print or PDF books and pins, or throwing a few quid my way monthly via Patreon, or even buying (and reading!) my silly novel that's advertised below. Or hey, just tell a friend about the comic! That one's free!
I've left exactly one banner ad on the site now, which I get full control of, and will only run ads from the fine folks at ComicAd.net, so if you want to check out whichever comic is running their ad there, please do- or even consider advertising your own project on Widdershins, if you like!
That's all for now- onward, to our finale.
Cast: Jack O'Malley

it’s so great to see such a change in Mal over the years…
He’s come so far from the guy who fought tooth and nail against any kind of responsibility.
He’s either finally accepted he’s Witch of Widdershins or he’s finally completely lost it. Possibly both.
A witch and his city.
I can’t believe I started reading this amazing comic back in middle school. Thank you so much for sharing this bit of happiness with us every week.
It’s definitely been a good few years. Mixed feelings about this being the final chapter. A conclusion is always nice but goodbyes are always hard.
This page is so amazingly touching. I have tears in my eyes from the thought of Jack reaching out to comfort the city/anchor when he doesn’t even know if it’s capable of listening and appreciating it.
Same, I love O’Malley, and I particularly love this page. It’s great to see him purposefuly connect with the city.
This is beautifully moving. :’)
It also reminds me of a scene in Equal Rites. You know the one.
I’m a Pratchett fan and can’t see the connection. But you’ve got me curious now. Which scene did you have in mind?
Mal is such an amazing dude.
Mal puts some points into his Shivers stat
Hi, just a heads up that your banner ad seems to break your site’s layout on mobile due to not scaling down with the rest of the site.
There’s an inline style that is “min-width: 728px”, which will definitely mess with a lot of mobile browsers. It’d be better if it was a ”max-width: 100%”..
But it also looks like these ads may be pushed by the ad company? Should probably put the max-width on it’s container instead.. 🤔..
Just a suggestion for the author, of course- no need to follow it. (I’m just a nosey IT student haha)
Thanks, I’ve contacted comicad to see if there’s a way to do it on their end, and if not I’ll use your suggestion!
Hi, thanks for letting me know! I’ve emailed comicad to see if we can fix this.
ought to be sorted now!
Almost every Hiveworks comic I follow seems to be leaving Hiveworks. Are they that bad?
They're shuttering by the end of the year, is the thing. Technically it's only their publishing arm that's closing (I did not use this) and they're keeping their webcomic hosting, but they're losing their tech staff after a point and tbqh that sounds too precarious a situation to leave my site in.
I've had no problems with them personally, but again I stayed out of the publishing section- I've heard stories, though those aren't mine to tell, they'll come out eventually as people are ready.
Lovely sense of “quiet in the foreground, loud in the background”.
Imagine if the Anchor suddenly spoke up: ”Wait, you’re talking … to ME? Nobody’s ever TALKED to me before! And … I can … talk BACK? Oh my goodness, this changes EVERYTHING! Okay, O’Malley, I’m with you! But here’s something you need to know; my sister Anchors told me that…”
hey folks, i’m ill as hell with a cold which has eaten my workdays away, so i’m going to have to skip this week’s update, with apologies…!
Hope you feel better soon!
hope you'll get well fast and good! and I don't mind waiting: this page is so moving I've been reading it every day since it updated
Oh no! Get well soon.
I’VE CAUGHT UP !!!!!
I… caught … up….:<
If you are suffering from withdrawal there are always 185 fanfics on AO3 to tide you over…
