Lots of long pages coming up, so here’s one. We’re out of the mistlands!

We’re still in the mistlands for a bit, so have some uncanny flora and fauna!
Because all my readers are unusually smart and perceptive, I’m taking the approach of not using text to explain pretty much any of the worldbuilding. I think the journey of discovery will be a fun challenge for all of us.

Some disturbing imagery in the video, just so you know.
Hi. It’s Monday again.
If you’re in Wisconsin, please turn out tomorrow for the Supreme Court election! myvote.wi.gov has all the information you need about your registration, polling place, and ballot.
The new chapter of Last Watch Before Dawn began last week, so we’ll be continuing with that this week. I usually draw when my baby naps–on my chest, which is good for her getting a nice long nap in, but not great for my posture. I’m teaching her to nap on her own this week, so I hope you’ll be patient if comic pages are a little delayed. Right now she’s sleeping soundly, so we’re off to a good start.
At the end of the month, I’ll be going to the Kenosha Book Festival again! Sunday, April 26, from 10 until 3, at the parking lot outside of Studio Moonfall, 5031 7th Ave., Kenosha, WI. See you there!
Some petitions for today:
Via Civic Shout: Pass a federal ban on conversion therapy
Via Demand Progress: Block 20,000 bombs
Via Win Without War: No more money for war
A note: I always try to remove UTM tracking tags from any links I post. If I’ve missed some, please let me know. I think we don’t need to be tracked everywhere we go online.
That’s all for now. Stop by again soon! And don’t forget to vote!

This was going to be just one of six or seven panels, but I decided it needed some room. Enjoy a weird landscape as we start this new chapter.

Song of the Week
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.

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.

Peter Hollens, “I See Fire” (Ed Sheeran cover, from The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug)
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).
