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.

Just this page for this week, because Friday is May Day and there are a number of strikes occurring, so this is my small way of showing solidarity. I’ll have a new one up for you next Tuesday.

Also, I’ll be at What the Hex on Sunday! 11-5 at Dresden Castle on Underwood, Cudahy, WI. Come say hi!

Some blood and violence on this page. I seem to introduce groups of men only to kill them all off shortly after.

Our heroine is in Peril again.

I managed to cut two entire panels out of this page, mostly because my outline has the bandit leader drawing his sword like three or four times? He doesn’t even have a scabbard. I don’t know what I was thinking. (Probably not much, because I’m pretty sure I was working on this bit either shortly before or after giving birth.)

Also, don’t forget about the Kenosha Book Festival this weekend! 10-3 at 5031 7th Ave, Kenosha, WI. See you there!

Warning for said peril, though it is short-lived, and some more blood.

You can find the whole page below:

Ya boy is back, and he’s doing…not great, but he’s still kicking.

Thanks for your patience during the brief hiatus. I should be back on time on Friday as well.

Just some blood on this page. Find the whole thing below:

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.

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):

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:
