It's fine, this is fine.
The Vol 8 books have arrived! Kickstarter backers, check your email for more info! If you missed the kickstarter, I'll have the books in the shop shortly- for now, you can grab the high-res PDF on gumroad right now, though!
Also! Widdershins won a British Fantasy Award this weekend for Best Comic/Graphic Novel for Vol 7! How amazing is that?!
Lastly, gonna be at MCM London this weekend! Come say hi, I'll have Vol 8 with me there!
This might mess with updates a little- probably next Tuesday we may skip an update, because MCM is hella intensive and very long. I'll pop some filler up if I do need to skip it!
Cast: Heinrich Wolfe, Sidney Malik

Oh, Sid. Having a bit of a breakdown, are we?
Can you blame the poor man?
Congratulations on the award, that is really exciting!
I see this is the British Fantasy Award you told us about in July. That was some pretty stiff competition you had. I am glad that you got the recognition for the great job you are doing!
seconded! wooohooo!
Ah yes, a DRUNK pickpocketing wizard dealing with some severe anxiety. That’s sure to have no consequences at all.
And congratulations on the award! You deserve it, you really do.
Oh wow, did not realize their buildings were so close. Also, congrats!
Swifts apothecary was first visible here: [https://widdershinscomic.co...](https://widdershinscomic.com/wdshn/november-25th-2011 "https://widdershinscomic.com/wdshn/november-25th-2011") (2nd panel of the 18th strip in Chapter 1), but I did not realize it was going to be important until Kate posted the Widdershins map (now in the about section) where it was marked as being riht next to Harry's office.
ISN'T 😭
Meanwhile, Mr. Thackerey was not fine at all.
Congrats on the award! It's well deserved
Potions in all shapes and sizes !
(also congrats !)
Cue the scene where Ben and Gren are at the center of a storm of chaos.
Once again, Sid is disturbingly relatable
Inside the apothecary, Will hears the "thunk" against the window and looks round to see what's going on.
Sid thunk
Will: big mood lmao
Sid: thunk
Will: "Mood"
Vincent: "Uhh..."
Eliza: "Hmm?"
More casts unite, more shenanigans ensue.
He's too busy daydreaming about Vincent to pay attention
Part of me wonders if this has already happened often enough for Will to get used to it. "Ah, yes, there's the wizard hitting the window, right on schedule."
I assume Sid has absolutely no tolerance.Tall and lanky works against him, plus he doesn't seem like a guy who drinks regularly; double plus for being emotionally compromised.
Kate wrote in [her Tumblr](https://katedrawscomics.tumblr.com/post/115622946177/is-it-okay-if-i-ask-a-character-question-im "https://katedrawscomics.tumblr.com/post/115622946177/is-it-okay-if-i-ask-a-character-question-im"): "Sid would make a valiant attempt but fall asleep after not much because he’s a terrible lightweight who barely drinks at all.", yeah.
Now I'm afraid searching for Mal is going to be delayed for a while... It would be fun if Ben-and-Gren team solve the client's case while Wolfe and Sid are "talking" in the pub.
A few dozen pages later, Mal and Harry, finally back in Widdershins, decide it's time for some strong British drinks and walk together into a pub...
The client turns out to be the knitting witch from the Himalayas, who hires Gren and Mr Thackerey to help her find Ms Barber. By the time Mr Malik and Herr Wolfe get back with Mr O'Malley, Ms Barber is back in the office waiting for Mr Malik,
Neat composition!
I thought about Ms Swift telling Ben "I want to see the Witch of Widdershins", and Ben was like, "So I do."
Sounds good. 👍
I don't know why, but I have fallen in love with the idea of them bonding.
…which pair?
Stiff upper lip in front of the Germans, Mr Malik... Ah, never mind.
Oooh, pharmacy jars. He has a fancy establishment next door.
not just any fancy establishment! take a closer look at the signage :p
LOL, well now I just feel slow :P
No worry, i didn't catch it at first.
Also, though I imagine it's perfectly acceptable in the time, the term druggist just makes me giggle at the idea of someone in our current day announcing themselves as "professional druggist".
Siiid honey 😭 (also I love their almost-matching coats!!)
hhhhhh--
Sid having a breakdown that goes from laughing to crying is such a mood, can relate, it's terrible
Wolfe, I know you're an optimist and all, but don't you think you're tempting fate just a bit much with that last line?
...Soooooo....
Angry, maudlin, or happy?
Sid in the third panel is me, all the time
