Hi, I’m back.
Sorry for the schedule disruption! I got my antibiotics and feel much better.
Ichiro is awake and still very depressed, as the thumbnail above would suggest, so be ready for that when you find the page below:

I’m sick enough to need antibiotics, and I might not be able to get them today on account of the holiday, so I’m currently down and out. No Song of the Week today, and the comic won’t be updated until Friday. Thanks for your patience.

Time for Ichiro to wake up and get the plot moving.
I liked this page up until Panel 4, which utterly defeated me. I know it looks bad. His arms don’t make any sense. His head is simultaneously too big and too small. Unfortunately, what it would take to fix it will take more time than I have, so here it is. Please don’t make fun of me too badly.

We’re letting Ichiro convalesce for one more page.
You can find it below:

Nadiiife, “Winter Child”
Good morning!
Spooky Frog was a fantastic event, as always, and now I’m looking forward to a nice break from markets until Slay the Lake in Chicago at the end of June.
Two pages of Last Watch Before Dawn this week, so be sure to stop by again!
A couple of petitions:
Via Win Without War: Pass a War Powers Resolution
Via Amnesty International: Block the bombs and Free Andrea and get her medical attention
Thanks for being here, and have an excellent week.

Hey, it’s been like two pages without any blood!
Physically, our boy has been patched up as much as he’s going to be, but emotionally…not so much.
Also, don’t forget about the Spooky Frog Horror Book Fair at the Sheraton Brookfield tomorrow, 11-4!

Things I’ve learned about comics, fifty pages in:
- Block shadows cover a multitude of sins.
- If you make the figures bigger, you don’t have to draw as much background.
- The panel will never be perfect, and with one to one and a half hours to dedicate to each one, it’s more important to get it done.
Patching up continues, with the full page to be found below:

The Cure, “The Hanging Garden”
Good morning!
This is earlier than I usually post these, because I have been awake since 4AM. All of my children, human and feline, decided that was the time to wake up. I disagreed, but I was apparently outvoted.
Chocolate cake was a hit, but baby seems to still like fruit better. Her ability to pick it up with her hands may be a factor.
New pages of Last Watch Before Dawn this week, and I’ll be at the Spooky Frog Horrifying Book Fair on Saturday! 11-4 at the Sheraton Brookfield, and entry is only $5. There will be DJs, free snacks, a cash bar, and of course indie horror authors and artists. I am looking forward to going back!
A couple of petitions for this week:
Via Action Network: Fund SNAP, not bombs
Via All Out: Ensure shelters in Lebanon are accessible to everyone
Via the Institute for Middle East Understanding: Recognize the ongoing Nakba
Via Win Without War: End war on Iran
That’s all for now. Thanks for being here, stop by again soon, and I’d love to see you on Saturday!

Patching-up time.
I am very proud of myself for finishing this page today, because today was also for cleaning, grocery shopping, and cooking in preparation for my baby’s FIRST BIRTHDAY PARTY. Where did this year go? Anyway, she’s the best and tomorrow she gets to try chocolate cake.
The full page is below, and it does contain some blood, as expected, and some medical stuff (stitches, evidence of long-term hunger), if that bothers you.

Resunotek has found something in the woods.
A little blood on this page, but honestly not too bad, considering what we’ve already dealt with.
Find the whole thing below:
