I JUST noticed the scar on his neck... and like! When it turned into a pretty lady to get info from Wolfe she had a ribbon around her neck! Does Luxuria constantly bear the mark of its beheading or just in the Mr. Luxuria form?
Possibly, although the ribbon thing was a popular fashion for women in victorian times too.
Reminded me of an old ghost story I once read actually.
About a girl who wore a ribbon around her neck every day, and bid her husband only take it off when she was on her death bed? I love those stories.
That's the one!
It's alright guys, the attack mist.
The puns burn! But it is a good pain. Bravo.
That pun will be hard to fog-et.
It was a gas
I think they need to clear the air between them.
Looks like he tried to find Mal's blue door
Vee: Ugh! We've been nabbed immediately, again! D-X
Ben: Just like every other time! :-(
Sid: But every time, we managed to escape and overcome the deadly sin! :-D
Wolfe: Ja, that does seem to be the pattern! :-)
Mr. Luxuria: Really? Unfortunately for you, I can also discern patterns in events, and take measures against them! :-) regards them smugly :-| For instance... :-S Hmmmm... :-( ...Actually... has mist bear them out of the door and slam door shut makes door vanish ...I think I'll play safe this time. Now, what was I saying, my dear?
Ms. Acedia: Ooh, darling... seeing you take the easy route like that...! ♥smooch♥ Cut some more corners for me! ♥ ♥ ♥

Getting a real "be careful what you wish for" vibe off this page...
"Yes, I will let you sleep, forever."
Yes, I have a feeling that our team won't have to take care of Acedia; Lust will handle that for them.
Yeahhhhhh that hole right behind her has a certain Chekhovesque air about it.
Moon door flashback anyone?
Give her a moment; she'll fall asleep.
When I tried to envisage Lust's attack power I wasn't expecting the pinky-purply porridge of immobility.
- Lots of other things, yes, but not that.
Yeah I was thinking the last panel looks like he's trying to drown them in pink soup. Like, really Mr Lux? XD
I kinda thought of it as being like some kinda evil magical perfume mist - so it seemed appropriate enough
You know how powerful all those other sins were in the short period they appeared? Well guess how long Lust has been dancing around for kids!
That really, really needs a comma before the last word.
Consider the difference between "Let's eat grandma" and "Let's eat, grandma"...
The color of Acedia's speech bubbles is worrying. She's deeply under Lust's influence here.
Not surprising; she wanted him back all along, right?
The question is, how much of her desire to have him back was her own, and how much was him influencing her in that direction?
Unfortunately, she doesn't care.
I reckon she'd probably die for him
I feel someone's about to get thrown down the bottomless pit.
Excellent. Walking right into the trap is a real time saver.
Is it just me, or does Sidney appear to be looking at Verity with a certain grin on his face, now that they're all bound up by Lust's power?
That's a grimace of panic... looks like we're going to need to watch out for Lux infiltrating the message boards as well... 😜
Okay, I finished rereading Widdershins yet again. Now is normally the point where I'd hop over to Gumroad and buy all of the PDFs. However, since there is a Kickstarter coming up soon, I think I'm just going to wait for that and back.
I got the PDFs; they are great because they have more resolution than the web page. Then I'll back and get hardcopies (& the PDF for this chapter). :)
Dearest, most loyal wife? How many has he got?
I know, I know, lots and lots. He is Lust after all...
Definitely lots. This is the entity that said "Limits are so unnecessary" after all.
The way he flirted with Henry, I'd say he's got quite a few husbands as well!
*and Wolfe : P
Almost makes him sound like Bram Stokers Dracula, only less grotesque. A charming, but evil, shape-shifting gentleman with supernatural abilities, more than one bride, an evil agenda in Britain, who cannot be defeated unless certain proceedings are performed. He is also opposed and thwarted by a group of hunters, intellectuals, and a person with unique abilities due to his influence, who hunts him down after defeating his involuntary subordinates. Did I miss anything?
(I forgot the fact that both of them gain power by preying on people.)
At least Mr Luxuria doesn’t have a walrus moustache like the original book version of Dracula.
Since when did we start dissing the majestic moustache of meditated malice?
Does that mean that in the film adaption, Lux won't be able to go outside in daylight without being destroyed?
Not unless they make a black and white rip-off movie where they call him Lujuria instead of Luxuria, and he's a burden rather than a sin.
I still think he may be the mysterious Mr. de Montfort. He doesn't have to look like this. In fact, if he isn't Florrie's husband, he can disguise himself as such very easily!
And I agree with those who think that hole to the Anchor is too conveniently open. Bye-bye, Ms. Acedia!
A little close to the "moon door" of this set, aren't you Acedia?
She deserves a long fall for what she did to Mal.
oops
If Luxuria is so close to the anchor, would they have a power boost? If so, maybe the hole for the anchor is not necessarily for Ms Acedia, but for Luxuria himself, to get even more power.
Ms Acedia doesn't seem to get what Luxuria is, and what he does. With Greed, you get what you want, but are left wanting more of it. Lust is satisfied as soon as it is fulfilled. Lust is 'wanting', not having. So he'll take you to the very edge of getting what you want, then snatch it away at the last moment, so you're left wanting it even more. And he'll do that to you forever.
That mark on Luxuria's neck, is that where the neckless he put his powers into used to sit, or the scare from when he got his head chopped off?
It's from the beheading, I think. (On another note, it's interesting that Luxuria and Mal, who are completely opposite in all other ways, both have scars on their necks...)
I had not noticed that.
You can see Mal's scar in panel 3 here: [https://www.widdershinscomi...](https://www.widdershinscomic.com/wdshn/july-20th-2012/ "https://www.widdershinscomic.com/wdshn/july-20th-2012/") It's from the incident when he and Wolfe first met, where Voss's bullet hit him in the side of the neck.
Oh lord, she's expendable isn't she?
I wonder what "all that you desire" actually entails when we're talking about the human embodiment of Sloth. Eternal sleep?
Can we all just appreciate the way the dome has been moved, carelessly flung to the side going by the look of that broken glass, with NO tools in the vicinity. Ten pennies says Lux is hiding some supernatural muscle-cells under that dapper suit of his.
