Queer Fantasy and Weird Tales for the People
I wouldn’t blame you if you thought that I forgot about the demons, but don’t worry, they’re still relevant. Politically, in particular.
We are counting down! Nine pages remain after this.

Good morning!
I expected the Book Gymboree to be a bit chaotic, with so many authors there, but it ended up being lovely. I was at a table next to Nikki Day, a singer/songwriter and poet, so I’m sharing one of her songs with you! I hope you enjoy.
There are ten more pages of Last Watch Before Dawn remaining. Two of them will go up this week. The end is in sight. I’ve replaced the battery in my tablet pen twice since I started, and I should have replaced the nib a long time ago, but I’ve got some more on the way.
In the meantime, here are some petitions:
Via The Swarm: Stop ICE from blinding and injuring peaceful protestors
Via Maine Immigrants’ Rights Coalition: Demand a full and transparent investigation into ICE killing
Via Civic Shout: Stop Trump’s illegal boat strikes
That’s all for today. Thanks for being here, and stop by again soon!
It’s late, I know, but I managed to get this page done.
First of all: the Book Gymboree is tomorrow! 10-4 at the RecPlex fieldhouse, 9900 Terwell Terrace, Pleasant Prairie, WI. I’m very excited to be there, and I hope you will be too!
Ten more pages after this one! That means only five more weeks until the draft is finished. Thanks for sticking with me.
We’re bringing some plot threads together for the ending!

In the full version of this panel, which you will find below, there are EIGHTEEN people. That is why this page is being posted so late.
We have arrived at the teahouse! The stage is set for our last scene.

Good morning! ETA: Wisconsin folks, the primary election is tomorrow! myvote.wi.gov has everything you need.
The Book Gymboree is this Saturday!
I’ll be one of MANY local authors, so I’m sure you’ll find your next favorite book! See you there!
New pages of Last Watch Before Dawn will be up Tuesday and Friday. According to my outline, we are 12 pages from the end.
Some petitions for this week:
Via Amnesty International: Save Dr. Abu Safiya’s life
Via New/Mode: No war on Cuba
Via IMEU Policy Project: Bring Sama Safi home
Via Campaign for a New Myanmar: Support TPS for Burmese refugees
That’s all for today. Stop by again soon, and I hope to see you Saturday!
Another page, another thing I forgot to draw (hint: how are Ichiro’s bow and quiver attached to his back on the outside of the blanket?). I have my editing work cut out for me.
I’m trying to do something with the last panel here. After the encounter with the samurai, Ichiro’s attention is drawn to the castle, where the daimyo lives. Technically, his duty is to report in and accept the daimyo’s judgment (either taking him on as a retainer, or executing him for his family’s crime of attacking their neighbors without permission). In either case, his status (such as it is) is restored, and he is no longer a ronin–but that means giving up Resunotek, the only person who has been nice to him in recent memory. This is his last chance to choose the daimyo, and he doesn’t.
I want to use as little text as possible to convey meaning. Let me know in the comments if it worked.

Chapter five is starting! Nobody panic!
I tried to use the Clone Stamp to make the crowd of people, and it didn’t really work, but I did not have time to go back and draw them all individually. I’ll work on that another time.

Good morning!
Chapter Five of Last Watch Before Dawn begins tomorrow! I am busy drawing a town and hating every minute of it. Buildings are both difficult and boring to draw, especially in groups. Regardless, new pages will be up Tuesday and Friday.
I’m headed out to a book fair on the 15th! The Book Gymboree is organized by Wisconsin author AJ West, and it will take place at the RecPlex in Pleasant Prairie. Admission is free, and there are more than 40 authors who will be in attendance, so you’ll be sure to find your next favorite book!
A couple of petitions:
Via Win Without War: No funds for Trump’s wars
Via Civic Shout: Stop the illegal boat strikes
Via No Business with Genocide: Support peace, accountability, and human rights in the Democratic Republic of the Congo
Thanks for being here. Have an excellent week, and stop by again soon.
Bonus art is available on Patreon for paid members. Regular comic pages will resume Tuesday!
Last page of Chapter Four! In which Ichiro isn’t cured of his depression because someone was nice to him for a while (though it certainly doesn’t hurt). We’re working on it.
Bonus art on Friday, and then we’re off to Chapter Five, which will be quite short. I’m counting twelve pages right now, but I may end up splitting some of them up.
Thanks for sticking with me. Full page below:
