    I love seeing how much Ben, Mal and Wolfe have grown together, learning not just to compensate for each other, but to draw on each other’s strength and how to communicate. It’s wonderful to see the bonds they’ve developed.

    Wait. Did … did Will hear the Pink Hippo of Happiness? o_o I know he trained to be a wizard, but I thought they couldn’t normally hear and see malforms.

    Very sincerely, thank you so much for this. It makes me extremely happy to see Mal confident in himself and what he cares about and standing up for it.

    Notice how the trees and grass all about them was hissing at the twins? Just like Nyree’s place. Jack has certainly become the Witch of Widdershins!

      They also seem to be erasing the casting circle. Plants smart enough to multitask! This place is weird.

    Go Mal!

  • EnchantressEmily 1 year ago archived

    Omg! Ben just called him Mal instead of O’Malley for the first time!

      On-camera, anyway

    But what if the fancy hat isn’t fancy enough?

  • Sturzkampf 1 year ago archived

    Let’s hope no-one loses their fancy hat.

    • TimK 1 year ago archived

      Any party where you lose your hat, is a bad party, I think?

        Not if you replace it with a traffic cone…

    Wait, that’s it? They’re just getting off scot-free?

    • JoB 1 year ago archived

      They’re being tricked into running into the party with unkempt hair.

      Well, there’s still the little matter of them being the on-duty guards when Baron What’s-his-face nicked the crown. I imagine their bosses and the Queen herself will have opinions regarding that.

    Panel 2: Did Ben grow between pages or did Eliza shrink?


    Panel 3: How is O’Malley lighting that hairry rag?

    • EnchantressEmily 1 year ago archived

      Panel 3: Mal can conjure little blue flames to light his cigarettes now. We saw him do it on a previous page, iirc.

      As a tall person with short friends, I often unconsciously adapted my posture so as not to tower over them.

  • Darkoneko 1 year ago archived

    d’aw :D

    Also I hope y’all know how to swim..

  • Ganurath 1 year ago archived

    Hot take, but I don't think making the magical epicenter of your country less magical is a service to your country.

    • Sturzkampf 1 year ago archived

      I'm not so sure. Having seen all the problems it causes, isn't it time to JUST STOP MAGIC!!

  • Kosh 1 year ago archived

    I like how Ben starts to use the correct term for the coronation and then switches it to Mal’s more colloquial (but still accurate) “fancy hat party”.

  • Shooba Queen 1 year ago archived

    that’s a good answer

  • Kate Ashwin 1 year ago archived

    not gonna manage a widdershins update this week, I am very sorry! deadline for another project plus thought bubble prep. at least I left it at a scene break...

    • Mccoll34 1 year ago archived

      No worries. We’ll still be here.

    • Grendelkin 1 year ago archived

      It’s fine! Do the stuff that needs doing. We’ll keep. ^_^

    • HereComesHoneyBadger 1 year ago archived

      That’s what the archives are for!

    I really like how there are three of the LGBTQ+ people in the comic standing with Mal, who is also LGBTQ+ I think, when he delivers that little speech to the twins. “I’m not letting you get rid of me and them and all the other weird bits that make it what it is!” It’s a very fitting line and panel composition.
