Aaaa I love how she catches his umbrella! Reflexively protective <3
Yeah; it's getting sweeter, but far from cloying.
Or in sync.
and now if she just pulls that handle toward herself....
Good (umbrella) catch there, Harry.
Good on Sid for going for it like this, Harry would have just been stuck in limbo for like an hour
I love how Gren has decided it's naptime.
I love how Gren seems completely chill in the presence of the stinky wizard.
The best possible sign is when your dog is comfortable around them.
Gren seems to be one of the wisest beings in the story, and seems to know when things are as they should be, like right now.
Or cat, yes, but doubly so considering what seems to be Gren's default reaction to wizards and magic in general.
Gren has already decided they're clearly going to be there for a while, being awkward, and will just nap through it.
You're probably right, and here I was actively hoping Gren would just push them into each other's arms, too. heh
Gren's a lot more subtle than that, considering the other couple he got dating in this chapter just by waiting for the right moment to dig up the exit handle.
God, has it really only been a year, in world? I thought it'd been at least two. They really deserve a break.
I love how they're both being active about this. Harry brought Sid to this romantic spot, but Sid's the one who actually broached the subject. They both know what's coming and want to make it happen.
We've noticed, you two. We've noticed. So, get on with getting it on, already!
Patience, Glassbopper!
Q&A questions! So many ... I will limit myself, though, and only ask 1.
To all 3 witches: How is the mantle of witch normally handed to a new person for a particular location? Is there a transition period or does a new one not show up until the previous has died?
Man, seeing Harry smile so much the last few pages is really something. That amused little smirk is just so amazing to see, and it only comes out around Sid. Aaaah, I dunno how to phrase this, just love seeing this side to her lol.
Question time!! You'd think I'd have something prepped.... Hmmm
To Mal: Is the PHoH moving in with you? And if so, do they get their own room?
To Notty: Is Eliza an idiot, or a genius? I literally can't tell.
Remember, in logic, "or" has two forms - inclusive, and exclusive.
She's a genius, it's not even in question! Like any good genius, she has her eccentricities, that's all.
The answer to your second question is "yes".
Ah, I see, they're going to both say the magic words on Friday, which will be the end of the book.
Okay, question for Nyree: Have you ever had someone approach your anchor and accidentally summon a deadly sin?
Erm.
Like, we know it's happened at the other two anchors. What about the island anchor?
Well, it's parallel to how the last book ended, anyway.
One more question, well really more of a comment.
To Sid and Harry: What took you so long?! You adorable marshmallows!
Damn it just kiss!
"That conversation that we had": [https://www.widdershinscomi...](https://www.widdershinscomic.com/wdshn/may-17th-2016 "https://www.widdershinscomic.com/wdshn/may-17th-2016")
And the body language between them!
Ben, what do you like best about your new job at the University library?
Arpana, what were you knitting while talking to the City Witch?
Nyree, what do wizards smell like? Arpana, what do they sound like?
SQUEE!
Question for the University Admissions committee: Don't you think it's past time for Sid to be readmitted (considering the nature of his magical/theft gift being more understood now) or handed an honorary diploma?
And University faculty: What do you think about your inability to identify that a Malform was attached to Sid?
(I don't think Sid wants to go back, though.)
Question for the Dean and Provost of Widdershins University: Given his heroic contributions to the capture and rebanishment of the Deadlies, when are you going to grant him an earned degree so that he can retain his magic license?
Sha-la-la-la-la-la
Don't be scared!
Their mutual awkwardness is so wonderfully adorable!
Gren the Matchmaker realizes these two need some time to talk, so she decided it's naptime. Good girl~~
I still say 'kiss interrupted'- that seems perfectly... perfect... for these two. Questions? Mal, how's it feel to have family? Ben, obviously this never crossed your mind- do you think you'll find this acceptable? Wolfe... hah!... Fur Sie, es wirt nie Anderes, nicht war?
Can't get this stupid 'puter to umlaut!
From where I sit, it's \\u00DF; from where you sit, can't tell.
Gah! I need to trade in my fat fingers - that'd be \\u00FC instead of \\u00DF, which is the eszett or scharfes S.
At least one foot each on the ground, you two.
Given the height difference...
Standing on a box still counts as 'the ground'.
So, questions!
Eliza, how are you going to convince Mal to let you into the anchor-space so you can inspect the 4th anchor door?
Nyree, how do new babies smell when they are clean?
I want her to pull him towards her with the umbrella so bad!
Ahhhhhh just kiss!
I love these dorks
To Harry: What do you think your mother is going to think of Lancelot Sidney Arthur Oliver Malik?
Nora: Did Harry tell you about the message from Alexa?
… for that matter, did Jack?
Gren: What's your take on this whole crazy human "relationship" thing?
Question for Gren, in two parts: A) for how long have you plotted this; 2) how long ago did you know that it worked?
Barber Family: Is all the other Barbers going to come together to welcome Harry home?
Naree & Arpena: Can you sense malforms? How do affect your senses? Can animals sense malforms?
Notty & O'Malley: Now that there's an official witch in Widdershins, besides lodging and a stipend, do they have any official titles or duties? (Like public appearances or showing up at events for officials?) If so would O'Malley just be skipping that part of it? Can he?
Ben and Wolfe: So how's your new family in comparison to your old ones?
Sid: What happened to the magpie? Do you ever summon it? Have you or Harry thought about using it on a job?
Sid: What happened to the Magpie? Is it still around, or has it left?
Q&A:
Kirti and Rajeev Malik -- Did Sid tell you that he's figured out the reason behind his "condition" while he was explaining things to you?
Did you even know of Sid's "condition"?
I'm assuming that's what Kirti was referring to here: [https://www.widdershinscomi...](https://www.widdershinscomic.com/wdshn/december-20th-2019 "https://www.widdershinscomic.com/wdshn/december-20th-2019")
Sid: So, how are you with kids, anyway?
SHE GONNA PULL AND KISS THAT GOOF
Hey now, they're the best at being not good at it in their own ways! The contrast is quite nice actually. And them actually talking it out is very cathartic really. Better than those trashy romance novels!
I had to double check that the image resolution hadn't changed, for some reason this page looks bigger.
I love the splosh of water on Sid's hat in the last panel.
Such a sweet pair of bumbling idiots when it comes to the L word.
Lesbian?
The other L word.
Here is a question for you: As Gren is obviously the most sane person around, why is he kept on a leash? Or is he rather keeping his humans safe and sane?
It's like a pacifier...keeps the humans feeling like they are in control.
To Sid's magpie: did you ship Sid and Harry? When did you? How do you feel about them living together?
Who do you think stole her heart for him?
Mr. Pryce: So what do you actually know about the 4th Anchor?
Eliza: What did Pryce actually know about the 4th Anchor?
Ooooo, question time!!!! Here we go...
(1) To Arpana and Nyree: do witches tend to come from certain families? Is "witchiness" some kind of inherited trait? Or it is something that just happens to "fall" on somebody more or less at random?
(2) To Arpana and Nyree: as witches, you wouldn't happen to have some special knowledge regarding the 4th anchor?
(3) To Nicola: Oh, come on, why that reaction towards Nyree? :)
DOOOORRRKS
THIS is the most rational relationship discussing I've ever seen represented. Kudos!
It can work this well for the social inept of us, just not often. I married the person that I finally found a match with. Kinda feels like the tortouse and the hare, you know? :D
KISS
Question for Sid's parents: You must have an embarrassing story/anecdote from Sid's childhood. Tell us?
These absolute cuties, honestly. I'm impressed Sid managed to bring it up so directly!
NOW KISS
Hey there! I'm new here, just read the entire comic in one sitting and it was a wild ride! I made an account just now so I don't miss my chance to ask some questions. I'm just going to ask a bunch and hope one of them works haha
Widdershins is amazing, thank you for putting so much care into it! :)
Arpana: So no one has climbed to the top of the mountain yet? Has anyone tried?
Harry: Would you have liked to visit the Island under less stressful conditions? Where would you like to go to on an actual vacation?
Sid: Magic seems like it could be used for some great pranks. Any memorable ones at University? Also did you know that you're a shining star? <3
Alternatively (tis the season and all):
What are you guys doing for Halloween? Costume ideas? Would Mal play tricks on everyone?
To the witches (individually or collectively):
Do you think there's a Fourth Anchor? If so, any thoughts on where it is or where its witch might be?
-----------
My dear Mrs. Florence de Montfort,
Might we, perchance, prevail upon you for an introduction to your husband?
---------
Dear Mr. de Montfort,
Are you the Fourth Witch?
Sincerely,
Sanjay

Parsley,
Meow?
Two questions one for Mal , When did you accept Ben as family ?
Ben How does it feel to be part of mal's family ?
Not sure who to address these questions to - perhaps the University of Magic?
What are the limitations of a provisional magic license compared to a full one?
What is the process to upgrade to a full magic license?
And given how Sidney saved the entire university, AND was suffering from the actions of a malform which the University completely failed to even notice, let alone assist with, how can that process be expedited?
