Last Watch Before Dawn: Volume 1, Page 14

I finished a page, and it’s still regular business hours!

I’m going to be trying to build up a backlog over the next couple of weeks. That will mean a) I’ll get this thing done in a somewhat more reasonable time frame and b) I can stick to the posting schedule with fewer interruptions.

You will find this page below the cut:

This page has eight panels. This may be too many.

Onward and forward:

Song of the Week

Rag ‘n’ Bone Man, “St. James” (traditional)

Hello!

There was a minor formatting issue with The Book of the New Moon Door‘s audio, which prevented it from appearing on Audible. Thanks to the lovely people at Author’s Republic, that issue should be fixed now. I’ll let you know as soon as I find it on Audible.

The holiday sale is still going, and will be active through the end of the year! Paperbacks make great gifts and are easy to wrap, or you can just order for yourself.

I’ll be working on Last Watch Before Dawn this week. Stop by again for more pages.

Some petitions:

Via Win Without War: Prevent war with Venezuela

Via the ACLU: Stop illegal boat strikes

Via Our Revolution: Stop ICE’s campaign of terror

That’s all for now. I appreciate you. Take care and stay warm!

Song of the Week

Tori Amos, “Winter”

Good morning!

I had a lovely time at What the Hex yesterday and Story Keepers Books on Saturday! Thank you to everyone who braved the cold. I think I’ll be taking a bit of a break from events for a couple of months, but I will keep you posted.

I’m working on another page of Last Watch Before Dawn, which will be up tomorrow! Someday I will learn how to manage my time enough to maintain a backlog of content for you, but not today.

A couple of petitions for today:

Via National Campaign for Justice: Demand Congress investigate, expose, and hold ICE accountable now

Via Win Without War: Pass the West Bank Violence Prevention Act

Via the Juggernaut Project: Save our healthcare

I’ll be back tomorrow! In the meantime, stay warm, and have an excellent week.

Total number of times Photoshop crashed while I worked on this page: 5

Times Photoshop crashed, taking Windows out with it, while I worked on this page: 3

I learned an important lesson about saving one’s work frequently.

On to the page!

New Patreon Post/ Last Watch Before Dawn Bonus Art

A digital sketch of a very fuzzy caterpillar with shiny black eyes.

Here’s a preview!

You can find the whole thing here. To see it, you’ll need to be a paid Patreon member ($3 a month) or to purchase the post ($3 one time). If you can do either of those things, I really appreciate the support! If not, don’t worry: regular pages will resume on Friday, and you’ll be able to see this drawing in the eventual print version of the comic.

Song of the Week

Queens of the Stone Age, “No One Knows”

I apologize for the video thumbnail staring into your soul.

I’ll have some Bonus Art for you tomorrow on Patreon, and a new page of Last Watch Before Dawn by the end of the week. I’ve just finished the first “chapter,” and we’re moving on to meeting some new characters next.

This weekend, I will be out and about! Story Keepers Books is having their first anniversary sale this weekend, and they’ve invited some local authors to help celebrate. I’ll be there on Saturday from 10 until noon: 7035 W. Greenfield Ave., West Allis, WI.

On Sunday, I’ll be at the final What the Hex for the year, noon until 5 at Dresden Castle on Underwood, Cudahy, WI. Entry is $3, and gets you access to a whole market of artists, craftspeople, and readers, as well as free workshops and performances!

I’ll be back to remind you about these events later this week.

Also, a reminder: paperbacks are still on sale through the end of the year!

A few petitions for today:

Via More Perfect Union: Protect affordable healthcare

Via Avaaz: Free Dr. Abu Safiya

Via Civic Shout: Stop Trump from bombing Venezuela

Via CHN Action: Reverse SNAP cuts

I think that’s all for today. Stay warm, and stop by again soon!

As usual, I’m the proverbial day late and dollar short, but here it is! This concludes the first chapter. We’ll do bonus art next Tuesday, and the next page (starting the next chapter) should be out next Friday.

Now I’m off to make pie.
