Yule 2016

Happy Yule!

     We are still sick.

This will be the last comic update of the year, so everyone have a good one.

Bonus Today, New Comic Friday...

I'm sick, Spider's sick, the kids are sick - even the dang dog had the runs. And we have no script. so new comic Fiday, hopefully.
It may just be the Yule Bonus...

Priming the Cannon (Chapter 2, Pg 65)

Bonus Art Today, New Comic Wednesday.

The name says it all. We had to reschedule family gathering prior to scattering to the for corners of America, so I lost my working day. I did get pencils done and inks started, so we're good to go on Wednesday.

December Bonus one: Soleil & Selene

Happy Wednesday!

As promised, in lieu of a new comic on today we have bonus art.  This is a sort of introductory teaser advert for our Patreon exclusive comic, Soleil & Selene.  Its a modern fantasy comic - sort of a Harry Potter-meets-Steampunk Oz sort of thing.  Its available to all of our $5.00 plus patrons.  We posted Page three not too long ago, and a new page goes up on the last Friday of every month.  Anyway, This owl is one of my all-time favorite pieces of art.  Hope you like it!

Kali's Kidding

I don't think she's kidding...

WE'RE BACK TO THE REGULAR COMIC!!

Finally, we have new bathroom, working toilet, well hung door, and best of all NOBODY IN OUR HOUSE BUT US.

Needless to say, we've smudged the Hel out the place.

Anyway, new comic will be next Monday (12/12). See you then!

Peregrine's All Alone...

Confession:  I was supposed to tell her.

Unhinged

But Spiiiiideeeerrrrr...!

     I swear to several gods, I've about had it with this house!
Not really. I've been homeless before - I am very thankful for a roof over our heads.
But dammit...

Chamber Potty

Spider is a very private individual...

   Sorry for the late post.  Migraine.

This is actually a good thing; the bathroom is almost done!  Hopefully we will be back to actual comics next week.  We are also hoping to get Page Three of Soliel & Selene out Friday.  Since Thanksgiving is tomorrow,no workers will be here.

CPTSD

I can't even describe this...

    It stands for Complex Post-traumatic Stress Disorder. You can find out more here:

And Now for Something Completely Different

     So, we're still working on the bathroom, and that means we still have workers in and out of here all day, and considering how the election went last week, we're just plain not comfortable working on our Gay, Pagan, webcomic with a bunch of Trump voters in and out of our house.
Anyway, this is some art I did for Patreon Patron Ray McVay for his new magazine, Launch Window. It debuted yesterday in the top ten of RPGNow.com's top 100 Hottest Titles, which is pretty awesome. It's also Pay What You Want, so...
Check it out:

And Here We Go...

What else can I do? Stay safe friends...

Well, I will say this: The classic strategic doctrine is to fight a war as far from your home territory as possible. Therefore, it is best to fight for the rights and liberties of others before your own are under threat. If you wait until your rights are taken from you it is too late.

Did You?

     ...Despite living in a state that hasn't been carried by Democrats in over 60 years. Despite having to drive twenty miles to my polling place. Despite every office on the ballot After POTUS, and the US Legislature having Republicans running unopposed.

Why? Because I'm a witch, and I legally can. I will never forget how precious and fragile having basic civil rights is.

Who's Your Favorite Goddess?

Hey, more than one panel!

A Word from our Bathroom

Samhain 2016

I give up.

     We just can't win this week...

Our Tub Fell Down...

     Okay, so maybe it wasn't that dramatic, but the fact remains that the master bath lacks a tub and has holes in the floor where the particle board flooring they make trailers out of (for some reason) got soaked by a minor leak in the plumbing.  Long story short, we've getting work done by folks who know the family, and therefore would my drawing a pagan LGBT NSFW comic an awkward come Thankgiving.  I hope to be able to get work done more regular like from now on, but can't make any promises.
     Incidentally, if you were waiting to pledge to our Patreon for any particular reason, now would be a great time to  join up.  After all, theres another page of Soliel and Selene going up on Friday!

BALLS to You! (Chapter 2 pg 63)

Kali says what's on her mind.

     Don't forget about our upcoming Patreon exclusive comic, which will be available on the 28th.  Its page 2, but of course you get access to all of them  as soon as you pledge.

True but Dishonest (Chapter 2 pg 62)

I think he means tons of cute guy...

    Over the weekend I've gotten the pencils on both the Samhain banner and bonus comic finished, I hope to have the pencils on page two of our Patreon exclusive comic, Soliel & Selene, finished this week as well.  Look at us, not procrastinating! 

     To read Soliel & Selene, just join your happy, dysfunctional family of Accidental Witches at Patreon!

...And the Rest Will Follow (Chapter 2 pg 61)

     I have yet to understand why it's okay for Christians to condemn random people to Hell, while witches aren't allowed to curse them back. Doesn't seem fair...;)
    This comic also points out a fun fact: Around here at least, it is far far more likely that a pagan/wiccan/witch will have actually read the bible than the average person like the prep above.  I think it's because we've been seeking out a religion/spiritual practice that conforms to observable reality, and started with whatever religion we were reared in.
   You would not believe how little modern evangelical Christianity has anything to do with the Bible.

Adventures in Babysitting (Chapter 2 pg 60)

I was a master at mac n cheese

Look, a comic. For you to read with your face.
Hey, I hope she doesn't get Bat sick...

Altar-ed States (Chapter 2 pg

   

Keen powers of observation...   

     Anyway, enjoy, the next comic will be at our regular day of Monday

We're Not Even Sorry

Not even a little...

look, It's a Word from our Spider!

It's Mister DiFranco to You! (Chapter 2 pg 58)

It's...it's really not.

     This was actually a big moment for Spider, as her love affair with Mr. DiFranco's music has continued to this day. Isn't if funny, how such major, life-changing events often have such banal, prosaic beginnings?  Reminds of a time in high-school when the girl in front of me in History class passed me a note...

Mabon 2016

     In keeping with our Mabon theme, here is another character profile, this time naturally it was Spider.  Hope you Enjoy!  As for me, I have just forty-eight hours to finish up our Patreon exclusive comic.

Annie Are You Okay? (Chapter 2 pg 57)

Are you Okay, Annie?

     Okay, two down, two to go.  Tomorrow is Mabon (YAY!) and we'll have a bonus comic, then Friday, is the debut of our special bonus Patreon comic!

Mr. Sandman, Bring Me a Dream (Chapter 2 pg 56)

We really had the same color hair in 1999...

     Love to talk, but I've got a regular comic on Wednesday, Bonus Mabon Comic on Thursday, and the first page of our Patreon Exclusive comic on Friday.

If you'll excuse me...

Monday's Blue, Plant is Brown (Chapter 2 pg 55)

Bat has a Black Thumb.

    We've mentioned before that the comic is mapped out in advance, in order to keep the days straight and knit our true stories together with fictional bridges and all that stuff.  Anyway, Spider discovered Sunday night that we had nothing but Bat and Ace's confrontation scheduled for Monday!  While we were brainstorming a possible comic idea (which was mostly be asking "what's so-and-so doing?"), I facesiously asked what happened to Bat's plant.  We wondered about it for a while - did I bring inside? If so, did my parents say anything?  Finally, we admitted that the most likely outcome was that I left the poor thing in the car.  So...today's comic.

     Inspiration can come for weird places...

Oh!  Don't forget about our Patreon exclusive comic coming out on the 23rd!

Devil in a Blue Pair of Glasses (Chapter 2 pg 54)

Is it smoke, or is he wreathed in fire?

     Another of the things I've noticed while working on the comic is that with the exception of Spider, the women in my life back then always doubled down on the Bitch when confronted. 

I've also been working on our NEW COMIC this week, which will be available to our $5.00+ Patreon suscribers on the 23rd. If you like Accidental Witch, you'll love the new one!

TWO YEARS!

Seriously, two years!

    Here we are, at the two year mark.  It honestly doesn't seem that long a time.  When I'm working on the comic, time passes in days and (at most) weeks, as the deadline to get the next one out is the most important milestone.  But when I step back, take a look at the last two years and how much progress we've made - both in the story and in the art and style - I'm nothing but proud.

     Even so, Spider and I are adding a new comic to our brand, which is an exclusive for our $5.00+ Patreons.  The first page will go live on Patreon on Friday the 23rd.  I'll be posting teasers and concept art in the next few weeks as well.

     But that's the future.  Right now, Happy Anniversary, Accidental Witch!

Good Advice (Chapter 2 pg 53)

What to do, what to do?

    Hope you all enjoy!  Our first live chat for Patreon subscribers will be at 7:00 CDT.  All you have to do to join in is be one of our $3+ Patrons and open the link we'll post tomorrow on our Patreon page.  Hope to see you there!

     As for the anniversary comic, that will go live on Wednesday morning.  Normally, I post comics in the afternoon or early evening of the day before, but I want to give everyone who wants their name in the comic time to pledge (any amount will do!) so that they may be included.  

The Best Policy...For Open Relationships (Chapter 2 pg 52)

Kali's found interesting ways to pass the time...

     Here we are with our delayed comic. Hope you enjoy.  We'll be back on our regular schedule next week.  

     A quick reminder (since we've been busy with work this week):

You still have five days to be a part of our first live chat ($3+ Patrons), 

You still have seven days left to get your name on the anniversary comic (All Patreons),

And three weeks left to get the first page our our Patreon exclusive webcomic ($5+ Patreons)

Tell Me, Can You Feel It? (Chapter 2 pg 51)

I can feel it!

     Due to end-of-the-month deadlines, I won't be posting our next comic until Friday.  See you then!

Just the Facts (Chapter 2 pg 50)

That last panel is CRAZY.

     Back to Magic Beans for a change (thank goodness).  I'm glad I did all of that study on perspective.

     Oh! Spider has a YouTube account again. YAY!  Check it out, Like, SUBSCRIBE!

NSFW! Unintended Consequences (Chapter 2 pg 49)

I can make anyone's eye twitch...

     One of the Laws of Magick (usually the last one) is the Law of Unintended Consequences.  Peregrine's fidelity/love spell is no more immune to this Law than any other spell.  Macha made sure of that...
