Wizards are sort of a mess, spritually speaking, until they're really concentrating. Sorry this one took a while to appear, Dreamhost was down for a few hours.
If you missed your chance to buy a copy of the beautiful Cautionary Fables and Fairy Tales book that I did a short story for, now's the time to make up for it! Available to buy online now, a book of fairytales, with contributions by Kel McDonald, Kory Bing, Jose Pimenta, Mary Cagle, KC Green, Kate and Steven Shanahan and Lin Visel, and myself.

Just came on this comic a few days ago from the march mixup when the title intrigued me-- it's a lot of fun and I'm startled at your update pace! Though I'm not complaining. I can't wait to see what will happen next! These characters are very interesting!
Oh yay, I'm glad that got me a new reader, especially considering how badly I got thrashed, haha! Hope you continue to enjoy :)
Wow I just read all of Darken over the weekend too-- left a comment there as well but in short I love your work!
Heheh, is it too early to wonder if these two will have any cameos after their arc is done? I am liking them more and more. ^_^;
Though I totally understand the vignette idea.. as with Discworld, I think Terry Pratchett said something along the lines once of 'If I heeded all the advice I've had over the years, I'd have written
18 books about Rincewind. Absolutely true.' But even so I hope it doesn't hurt to politely inquire. ; )
Eight years on, what do you think about that now?
I lost it at the spirit over Harry. The last panel did not help me recover.
"Bet she was a redhead"?
Something wrong with his (mundane) vision?
He's entirely colourblind, hence why he can only see actual people in black and white.
I did not notice this when it first occurred at [http://www.widdershinscomic...](http://www.widdershinscomic.com/?webcomic_post=march-16th-2012 "http://www.widdershinscomic.com/?webcomic_post=march-16th-2012"), but I checked back there after this post. That must be awful to live without color....
Oh wow, really? I tricked myself into seeing faint color tinting in some of the panels with his spirit-o-vision I guess! The first time I read this I read it as 'But she was a redhead, he's always like that with them' and it was only on a second read through that I saw it was 'Bet' and got curious.
I hate to nitpick* but wouldn't he be able to be more confident in his assumption of redheadedness from the spectre over Harry?
*this is a total lie
Trouble is, he doesn't know what 'red' is, he's just been told red is a colour. He's stuck with black and white and no frame of reference.
Also, the spirit's colours aren't necessarily what the colours of the actual person are, see: the fact that her skin isn't blue :)
I quite like this, the idea of wizards having this weird glowing aura where their (oddly often angry) ersatz shoulder angel should be.
No wonder he doesn't like his "gift" if it makes him colour blind too :-s
Also, Im assuming with the red headed spirit that could just be anger showing itself? I guess we will have to wait for the mechanics to be explained a bit.
Oh, colorblindness. And Harry's spirit. And Harry's twin.
I keep going through EVERY single page of Sleight of Hand (it takes forever), and I just cannot find the part where Harry and Sidney talk to Wolfe and Mal! I remember reading it when it came out, but I can't find it now!
- SO confused, PrinceSS TeDDy
Fortunately, you have me! Praise me forever.

Jinx!
Do - do I still get praised forever? D:

The URL layout has since changed, and I was curious about this too, so I went and fetched the updated one and figured I'd post it here where it's relevant:

Yep - definitely an "Oh, God, what is Harry up to now?!?" look in Panel 5.
Harry's mood: guarded |:-(
Sid's mood: ????
Sydney has a spirit of fairyfloss!
I like how Sids is all bubbly and always has some yellow in it cause he’s so bubbly an optimistic!! I also love that even Harry’s spirit is smoking!
