Because when you can end the chapter on a smooch, why wouldn't you?
Hey! So! That's this chapter all over! Hope you guys liked it, I know it was a bit of a departure but a fun one nonetheless. If you did like it, please consider backing the Kickstarter for the print version, which has just gone live now! Go have a look, we have books, high-resolution PDFs, Fourth Anchor Society pins, hand-sketched bookplates, all kinds of fun Widdershins goodies.
Want to support the comic but don't fancy books? Take a look at our Patreon, where just a couple of quid a month can net you some neat extras and help keep the comic updating regularly. If you'd rather make a one-time donation, you can drop a few quid in the tipjar here.
If you're lacking the spare funds right now but want to help support the comic anyway, please spread the word! Link it to your friends who might enjoy it, tweet about it, whatever you like! Word of mouth is easily the best advertising for webcomics, and honestly any time you get someone else to read it, it helps the comic immeasurably. Even just leaving a nice comment helps me a ton.
Thanks again y'all, we'll be running a couple of character Q&As for a few weeks, then Widdershins will return on September 17th with the next volume: Witch Hunt!
Cast: Eliza Swift, Parsley, Vincent Knott, Will Sharpe

I don’t think I’m the only one when I say this was the best possible way to end the chapter :)
Blushing in embarassement
Myself, I'd like to hear about Harry... And/or Mal/Ben/Wolfe... How are they...
(Fortunately I know now Sid does walkies with Gren... But that's not enough for me...)
:)
Get me right, I'm glad Vincent is now so confident. More confident then Will himself :)
But I'd like to hear about... Well, I've just said it already :)
Don't miss the next exciting chapter of Widdershins!
The title for the next chapter is "Witch Hunt," which sounds like either Eliza will find Mal, or some of the main characters will get to find the other witches. Maybe we'll finally get to see the island witch?
Eliza DID conclude that The new witch was none other than Harriet Barber so, possibly it will be about finding her.
And the award for softest panel in Widdershins goes to... that one at the end!!
I say! Get a room you fellows!
They seem to have the shop floor to themselves for the moment.
They are, in fact, in a room.
Cut to me, crying... <3
Steady on, lass. :P
Yeaaaa!!! 10/10!!!
One foot on the ground at all times please gentlemen.

ahem Sorry, mind so blown by happiness I could only respond in emoticons ^_^
The cat's all like..
I can see what's happening
And they both have a clue.
They'll fall in love and here's the bottom line
Our trio's down to two.
Off to the side neglected.
LOVE it!
Ahhhhh.... They make a cute couple!
"I don't know any hangmen any more" - little hint to the fact that his father isn't a hangman anymore either. Nor anyone else he might have known in the trade ;)
Raise anchor! The ship has sailed!
I think the wizards would be quite upset if you raised the anchor.
Those two things really should happen in the other order, shouldn't they?
Sailing away before you raise the anchor is a pretty bad idea.
VINDICATIONNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN
aw hell yea!!!! we love love!!! such a sweet scene :-)
Awww!
It occurred to me last night that these three have kind of traded places. When we met them Eliza was at the apothecary, Will was at the university (more or less), and Knotty was at the gaol/police station; now Will is at the apothecary, Knotty is at the university, and Eliza is at the police station.
And also, Knotty is in his heart.
Reminds me of that old joke about the police, the engineers, and the cooks in both Heaven and Hell. :P
Ah yes, 9/17 is my birthday. Now I have two things to look forward to!
I wondered what that massive squealing noise was that woke me up this morning. Now I know.
Case closed. :D
Any rebuttal? No? Didn't think so!
Objection! The current story is over and we'll miss all the best awkwardnesses from their first times together!
We'll probably see them next only when they're all experienced and used to each other, with just hints of all the silly shenanigans that already have been. T_T
Overruled. I can't see the story creator denying us that sort of narrative gold. You may challenge the court if she does skip it. :D
Actually, want to point out something I think is important in panel 2 - Will wants this relationship, but not to force it. Characterizes something I find very important in relationships: You have to be good with yourself before you can be good for someone else. Character growth!
This is what I was kinda after back in the days of simple hand-holding. It's indeed good to see folks with good heads on their shoulders and at least one foot on the ground.
So easy for aloof types like Will to go wrong when there haven't been anyone standing tall by them and guiding them to the light.
Here's for hoping we'll see them again in future. :D
love really is real huh..............................................am crying
And the shippers go wild!
Great ending to this chapter.
I'm not quite convinced. I'll need to see more evidence, maybe some hand holding too. Q&A what was their first date like?
squeals in gay
<3
Eh, Will's pun was better
*And The Crowd Went Absolutely Wild*
Only just noticed Will's got a cast or bandage around his broken arm I think? Knotty should be careful grabbing him like that!
You're right, I hadn't spotted that! Good catch.
Maybe that’s why Knotty grabbed his sleeve on that side instead of his shoulder/arm.
Even if I never see this group of characters again, I'd be completely satisfied with their story. ^_^ Well done as always, Ms. Ashwin!
(Of course I'd love to see more of them.)
I think my favorite part of this is Will's reaction to the "I rest my case" joke. :)
Very appropriate:

joyous raptor screech
This is gonna be the best 'How did you two meet?' story one day...
Huh. Would've expected Will to be the one.
Holy crap these hecking dorks! I love them so much!
So sweet! Ahhhhhh young love!
