Some concept art for this chapter’s bonus! Here’s a preview, and you can see the rest by becoming a paid member on Patreon ($3/month) or purchasing it separately ($3 one time). Regular comic pages will resume Friday.
C.W. Stoneking, “The Love Me or Die”
Good morning!
The newsletter is going out tomorrow. Brooke has a new pack of cards for you, and I’m going to an event in April, and there will be cat pictures in there also. If that’s something that interests you, put your email in the box at this link, then check your inbox for a confirmation.
We’ve concluded the third chapter of this volume of Last Watch Before Dawn! There will be two more. Bonus art will go up tomorrow, and then we’ll start the next chapter on Friday. Now’s a good time to get caught up if you’ve been waiting. Here’s the table of contents.
A couple of petitions:
Via Win Without War: Block the sale of bombs and bulldozers to the Israeli government
Via Just Foreign Policy: No troops in Iran, no on the draft
That’s all for now. I love you; stay safe and stop by again soon.
LAST PAGE OF THIS CHAPTER!
This page had seven panels in my outline, and I decided to pare them down–partly to make less work for me, and partly to make the page less busy and have more room for text. There’s actually text on this page!
Bonus art next Tuesday, and then we’ll start the new chapter on Friday.
Warnings for blood, a severed head, and what I would describe as setting-appropriate passive suicidal ideation. Things will improve in the next chapter, I promise.
You’ll find the page below:

Listen, we need the man to be miserable so that it will have more weight when things get better.
This four-panel page was a nice gift from my past self to my present self. I have a bunch of pages with seven or so panels coming up.
This is the penultimate page of this chapter. The last one will be up on Friday. On a related note, I’ve now noted the chapters in the Table of Contents on the Stories tab above (under the Menu if you’re on mobile).
Warnings for blood, general misery, and a severed head.
Full page below:

I like this version better than the original, so here you are.
I’ve just ordered many books in preparation for going out to events again starting next month. I’d love it if you would come see me and take them off my hands! First up will be the Kenosha Book Festival on April 26.
This week, we’ll be finishing up this chapter of Last Watch Before Dawn, with a page on Tuesday and one on Friday.
A couple of petitions:
Via Win Without War: Not one dime for Trump’s war
Via Just Foreign Policy: No troops on the ground and no draft
That’s all for today. I love you, take care, and stop by again soon.
If the thumbnail doesn’t give it away, this page is gruesome. Approach at your own discretion.
Two more pages in this chapter! By this time next week, I will be done torturing Ichiro (for now. Both my husband and a reader have recently pointed out that I put my protagonists through the wringer).
The full page is below:

Silhouettes are so dramatic and so much fun. They also save me a ton of time.
Also, did I not put Page 36 where it was supposed to be? I was just going to update the links and it didn’t have an image. You know you’re allowed to tell me if I screw up, right? I promise I won’t be mad.
I researched what blood loss does to a person, and among other things, it’s (obviously) very dehydrating. So that’s what’s going on here. We have three more pages of this chapter, so bear with me.
The full page is below (I definitely checked this time):

Good morning! When I woke up, it was snowing sideways. Now it’s snowing sort of diagonally.
I’m ordering inventory today for the markets coming up! Otherwise, I’ll be working on Last Watch Before Dawn. We have four more pages of our protagonist suffering before we finish this chapter and things start looking up.
Wisconsin folks: make sure you vote April 7! I will continue reminding you.
Some petitions for today:
Via National Campaign for Justice: Investigate the Minab school strike and Stop ICE from arresting and deporting children
Via Public School Strong: Protect students protesting ICE
Thanks for being here. Stay warm and safe this week.
I’m prepping ramen today (the softboiled eggs need to marinate overnight), so here’s this page really quick. It’s got some blood in it, and is largely depressing, but nothing too bad.
Also I forGOT HIS QUIVER AGAIN LAST PAGE, ARGH
The page is below the cut to save your RAM:

I ended up taking a panel out, so this page was only six panels.
I’m not super happy with the rendering of the fire. It was too dark without the yellow, but looks a little too technicolor with it. Maybe I should have just stuck with regular orange and yellow?
Fire, dead things, and an unhappy protagonist below. This chapter will continue for five more pages, and then things will be less unhappy.
