Will doesn't change his hair in any setting, thanks. Modern alt-universe versions of Harry and Mal here, and Sid, Wolfe, Ben and Vee here. Next week and the week after will be character Q&As, still time to ask a thing if you want! Next bonus update is on Friday 6th September!
If you liked this chapter, please consider backing the Kickstarter for the print version, which passed its goal but is still going! Go have a look, we have books, high-resolution PDFs, Fourth Anchor Society pins, hand-sketched bookplates, all kinds of fun Widdershins goodies, and if we make it past £10k I'll add in some of Eliza's notes as book-exclusive extras!
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, Widdershins will return on September 17th with the next volume: Witch Hunt!

The disaster gay shirt has never been more accurate
Future Eliza did the podcast Alexa found the twins on
:3
Ooh, shoulder tatoo
It looks like a full sleeve to me.
To just above the elbow, in the pride parade sketch.
"Will doesn't change his hair in any setting, thanks."
Well, it is damn fine hair.
I wondered about Eliza based on the conversation at the beginning about "she goes by Eliza now". I love her outfit for pride.
So she is trans? Lovely!
Yes, she is! The outfit Will was wearing for most of the chapter used to be hers pre-transition.
So they knew each other before?
Eliza and Knotty are childhood friends! She transitioned since they last saw each other. Since she still has her old clothes, she probably transitioned recently. Or... she just got really busy and never got rid of the clothes.
And how do you know that?
I know it because of this page: [https://widdershinscomic.co...](https://widdershinscomic.com/wdshn/december-21st-2018 "https://widdershinscomic.com/wdshn/december-21st-2018") Will needed to change out of his prison uniform, and Eliza still had some of her old clothes around. They're close enough to the same height that it worked. They hadn't met each other before that night.
all correct!
Wow, I totally missed that. I thought she just knew that her cousin was the same height as her, and that if will was also the clothes would fit.
I totally misread that line... I just figured it was about Eliza growing up and abandoning childhood nicknames for the sake of professionalism.
I'd actually forgotten about that entirely, but at the time I thought pretty much the same thing.
This is a DELIGHT
Now this is the true self-indulgence we can all be happy and proud of.
I need Will's shirt so badly :D
Question to Captain Barber: How has your workload been like without Harriet around?
...and how much has it increased since you hired Eliza?
I love this. too much. this cannot be healthy. this is unhealthy levels of love. as for the Q&A I'd like to ask gren if sid's been behaving and ask Sid on a scale of one to hopelessy in love how much do you miss harry? :3
I LOVE THEM ALL SO MUCH!!!!! THIS PAGE HAS VERY GOOD VIBES
Eliza with tattoos?
...where's my fainting couch? <3
losing my mind over this, the flavor
will sharpe be like : arrested for youtube crimes
Story Time: my boyfriend tried to kill me??? Not clickbait!!
how i met my boyfriend (COPS CALLED, MAGIC INVOLVED, GONE ROMANTIC) (xbox giveaway in the desc!!! )
I had no idea what the flag was... so google tells me it’s the transgender flag. Was that possible back in Old Widdershin?
evidently! :)
I mean, it's not like there weren't trans people around living as their proper gender in real life Ye Olden Times. It's always been A Thing (TM) long before the various hormonal and surgical techniques available today were developed.
A. "Disaster gay" could not possibly be a better description of Will
B. Out of curiosity, why does Knotty have glasses in the modern AU but not in the comic itself? We've seen a few other characters with them... is it an "unable to access them" thing, or a "spends too much time on the computer in the modern era" thing, or?
Most likely from eye strain since he's in university. Canon Knotty probably reads a good bit but likely not as much, and he has probably never had to study for an exam since he was on track to become a hangman.
That pride parade sketch makes my heart so happy.
there's an ace flag, and it warms my tiny aroace heart to see people including us :)
What is the tattoo on Eliza's shoulder of?
Q&A:
For Parsley: What is your opinion of the tall pink monkeys ("humans") in your life?
I could weep!!!!! They're so cute!!!!!
I guess I'd ask Eliza how she and Vincent became so close that he could pop in for the first time in years and still drag her along to aid a convicted criminal.
So, the barista and the barrister.
Wait a minute... Modern!Will was working at a coffee shop when he met Modern!Knotty, who was already in law school at the time? Correct me if I'm wrong, but doesn't this mean that the the story we just read can't actually happen in that universe?
Also: love the title for the next story.
Oh my! Eliza carrying the transgender pride flag is just wonerful. It certainly brought a smile to this transwoman's face. :D
With that great big smile on her face.
I didn't think I could love these three any more than I already did, but somehow these modern AU designs have managed it. Modern!Eliza is Life Goals, honestly.
Could you, please, add this page as an extra in the book? Love it so much!
What does Eliza have to say about Russian influence on Western elections in the last few years? :evilgrin:
For the Q&A: I would really enjoy seeing the cast's response to the puns found in the comments.
Does anyone else kinda just want to BE Eliza? I wanna be Eliza.
I mean his shirt tho
for the QandA's what ever happened to Lei
In case it's not too late for Q&A:
Eliza, what's Nicola like as a boss?
Oh my god, I love these hecking dorks, no matter what time period they are in!
