I’m trying out some new brushes. I think I like them better?
As you can probably tell from the thumbnail above, there is blood and violence on this page. We’ve got a few more pages of suffering before things can start looking up.
The full page is below the cut:

Haunted Like Human, “Growing Pains”
Hi. It’s Monday again.
I did manage to get the newsletter out yesterday, and everything seems to have worked properly. Thanks for your patience!
Not much else to report for this week. I’m working on some new pages of Last Watch Before Dawn, and they’ll be up Tuesday and Friday, as per usual.
Some petitions for today, because ye gods:
Via the Friends Committee on National Legislation: Pass the Iran War Powers Resolution
Via Jewish Voice for Peace: No war on Iran
Via Win Without War: Stop war on Iran
That’s what I’ve got. Take care and stop by again soon.

I would definitely prefer to have a backlog of pages, just to prevent service interruptions for you, but the one nice thing is that once I finish next Tuesday/Friday’s page, I’m done and can relax for a bit.
The mailer service I use for the newsletter appears to be back up, so I will get working on that soon.
I’m trying a new thing where I put the thumbnail I make for Instagram here before the cut:
In the meantime, here’s this next page. It’s got blood and violence, much more than the previous page, so be aware as you click below:

MailerLite appears to be down at the moment (I’m getting a “no healthy upstream” error, and it seems other people are too). This was the time I had blocked out to work on the newsletter, and I’ll be busy all day tomorrow, so unless it comes back in the next ten minutes or so, I won’t be able to get it out on the usual last day of the month. Hopefully I can get it out in the next few days.
Thanks for your patience!

I probably should have drawn all the men in detail in Panel 3, but I honestly did not have the time. The shadows look more menacing, anyway.
There is blood and violence on this page, just so you know. You can find it below:

Devon Gilfillian, “Troublemaker”
Good morning!
I have another event for this year’s calendar: Slay the Lake’s Pride Market! Saturday, June 27, at Soundgrowler Brewing Co. in Tinley Park, IL. I’m also on the waitlist for their Kenosha event this spring, but in any case, I’m looking forward to it.
The newsletter will be going out on Saturday, so if that’s something you’re interested in and you haven’t signed up yet, here’s the signup link again. Be sure to check your inbox for a confirmation when you’re done.
Other than that, I’ll have new pages of Last Watch Before Dawn for you tomorrow and Friday. This chapter is long and depressing, but we’re moving through it, and then things will start looking up! Sometimes you have to make your characters miserable.
A couple of petitions for today:
Via the US Campaign for Palestinian Rights: Block the bombs, again
Via Demand Progress: Block ICE’s warehouse prison expansion
Via The Workers Circle: Protect Haitian Temporary Protected Status
That’s what I’ve got for you. Thanks for being here.

Thirty pages!!! I’m about a third of the way done with this draft!
Also, I filed my taxes today. I am a paragon of executive function.
To save your RAM, the image is below the cut:

Well, I’ve had so many crashes today that I haven’t finished Friday’s page, and have thus officially lost my lead. So it goes.
You’ll notice that Ichiro is carrying more stuff on this page. I forgot about his quiver before. This is what the first draft is for!

Albert King, “Born Under a Bad Sign”
Good morning!
It looks like the first event on my calendar is the Kenosha Book Festival on April 26. I’ll have more information as we get closer!
Other than that, nothing much to report. I’ll have new pages of Last Watch Before Dawn tomorrow and Friday.
I also have a couple of petitions for today:
Via the Native Organizers Alliance: Protect gender-affirming care
Via the National Campaign for Justice: Keep ICE out of schools
Via Just Foreign Policy: End the fuel blockade on Cuba
As always, I appreciate you being here. Take care this week, and stop by again soon.

Not too many crashes since I last reported in!
Our friend Ichiro is still having a bad time below. I can promise it will get better, but not for a while.
