Lions and birds and badassery, I’d guess. It seems about right.
EXCITEMENT
It doesn't look like Island Witch was doing the knocking.
So: Either Mountain Witch or so-far unknown witch from, presumably, the Unfortunate Islands (great name!)
Which witch...?
I called Mountain Witch a few pages ago.
You're probably right, though I like the idea of an Unfortunate Witch - who would have to be a part-time witch because the islands have no fresh water for half the year and are then uninhabitable.
- Phil - You do have a point and Kate makes the rules here but it's unusual for effect to came very far in front of cause in graphic novels.
Either web comics are unusual graphic novels, or I'm reading some unusual web comics …
Just as unusual as most of Dickens' novels or Conan Doyle's Sherlock Holmes stories. Episodic publication doesn't change the form.
Widdershins has a set of overlapping story arcs - broadly in a novel series form, not a complete new story every strip, or every few pages in the classic comic format.
We don't know that these stories are happening simultaneously, the knocking could just be Harry knocking on the door trying to get out after dealing with her problems here :)
Two people, closed off, in more ways than one, confronting their feelings at the same time? Dis' gonna be gud. owo
"Dis' gonna be gud"
I imagine that's what the Island Witch is saying to herself as she watches from the foliage.
Have I mentioned how much I love Harry? She's the sort of tough old broad I've always gotten along with.
I don't think she's that</old>.
What's the birth order in the Barber family?
Judging by Family Tree (and a family portrait), there is: Nicola, Nora, Harriet, Florence and Edmund (twins).
Yes, I think Harry's in her mid-20s. As Heylir said, she's the middle one of the family.
Edmund has a teenage daughter though? So that puts him at late 20s minimum. Making Harriet easily 30+. Not that the chronology has to be linear or anything, or that 30 is old.
Surely, sugar and spice and all things nice.
Or not.
Tobacco, grit and more tobacco.
Tobacco and spit, and pure iron grit. That's what hunters are made of.
"First, your wig is obviously mocking my hair. Stop it."
I just realized how much Harry's starting to look like everyone else who is quarantining.
Ah, back to Feelings Without Bullets!
One of the best dramas on TV!
Hah! Just noticed that the beastie has roughly the same color palette as Harry. Well done Kate!
Indeed! It's a really nice touch!
Harry is facing down a terrifying chimera made of her own emotional baggage, Sidney is facing down his parents expectations.
Both of them "Trade ya?"
And Mal is facing down his personal demons about involving himself in dangerous situations voluntarily.
His personal demon is purple, happy and hipposhaped.
And he simply can't stop crawling it...
While Ben and Eliza are having a wild hunter-style adventure and evading - gasp - Americans! Probably less stressful overall.
From what we've heard about Harry's parents, she might not be willing to trade...
I'm pretty sure she'd gladly trade her mother, though. I don't think we've ever heard anything about her father?
Depends on how far Sidney has gotten with telling the truth.
"So how far have you two gone?"
"Nope. Sidney, give me back the Chimera"
Did Island Witch tell her what this was and i missed it?
It was when Harry came with the Island Witch and tried to shoot at it (March 20th's page).
Ah and also ha.
Missed that one somehow.
Your good. Especially cause they start referring to it as an Ata which could easily be overlooked
The way she looks back at the gun... Yeah, I can relate. Too many times I've wanted to just shoot my emotions instead of learning and processing.
Ha, you thought we were going to see some resolution with Sid and his parents? Nothing can stop a WITCH SCENE CHANGE!
It's wearing a plague doctor mask!
Then they put on boxing gloves.
I'm honest pretty sure Harry is going to end up headbutting that poor thing. If it was facing off against anyone else, I wouldn't be calling it poor thing.
Time to sit down and have a chat with an inner demon.
Just the one character tagged today. Heh.
I just realized... is it supposed to look like a mix of sins, virtues and lesser called upon traits? Looks like Norma's courage lion mixed with pride and her fears that always lurk beneath.
So no joke. I've read this through 3 times already. on my fourth read through i swear the Ata looks like harry in that final panel
