Queer Fantasy and Weird Tales for the People
It’s exposition time!
Pacing is really challenging for me here, because for me, Ichiro has been naked under a blanket for over a month, and it really should be time for him to put some clothes on. For someone reading the comic all the way through, it would take a few minutes to read a month’s worth of work.
This is why I need reader feedback. Comments are open! I promise I don’t bite.

Nobody panic! We have two protagonists actually having a conversation!
I may have forgotten Ichiro’s scars in the last panel. My policy is that once I hit “export” (to turn the Photoshop document into a JPG), I don’t go back and make changes. All those edits are for when the first draft is done.

Good morning!
Here is something I didn’t know existed: a collaboration between Celtic pop group Kíla and Ainu musician Oki. The language you hear is Ainu, pronounced very carefully by the Irish gentlemen. There are only around 300 native speakers left, if memory serves.
I got my meds and am feeling much better! I just have to finish this course of antibiotics. I’ll have new pages of Last Watch Before Dawn tomorrow and Friday.
My next market will be Slay the Lake’s Pride Book Fest on Saturday, June 27: Noon to 5 at Soundgrowler Brewing, 8201 183rd St, Tinley Park, IL. More on that as we get closer!
Some petitions for today:
Via Block the Bombs: Block the bombs
Via USCPR Action: No War on Iran, No Weapons for Israel, No ICE in Our Communities
Via Save the Children: Unlock lifesaving aid for families
That’s all for today. Stop by again soon!
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:
Continue reading “Last Watch Before Dawn: Volume 1, Page 54”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:

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!
