More fanart, this time a super-awesome Harry from Kirsty Mourdant! Check out all that crazy background detail, it's so good!
Please consider backing the Kickstarter for print editions of Widdershins, or subscribing to the Widdershins Patreon that has managed to keep us going and updating regularly for approximately a hundred years now, or if you'd like to throw a one-time cash donation in my direction that would be deeply appreciated too! If you're low on cash but want to help anyway, it'd be super helpful if you'd link the comic to any friends you think might like it. Spreading the word is so valuable, and absolutely keeps comics like this one afloat.
Widdershins will return on the 17th November with the next story, Sea Change!

Two very different types of fire(power). Better not mix up the flammables that make them work :)
Thank you for pointing out the background, Kate. Would've missed Harry's Ata in there.
Thought it was a peacock at first, though. Had a joke about Kirsty taking pride in their work. Oh well.
Excellent picture, especially the background.
YESSS, badass Harry! That gaze!
"Yew cain't git a man with a gun."
Are you implying that is the purpose of the pipe?
You sure? I've been working on my aim.
Bad trigger discipline there, Harry. Very bad trigger discipline...
It's a case where you can kind of convince your brain to see her index finger inside or outside the trigger guard. A bit like "misheard lyrics" in music, or those optical illusions that can change (apparent) direction in your head.
In any case, the finger is behind the trigger and in no place to pull it.
Aside from that though, that DOES make me wonder what gun safety was like in those days. I'm sure people weren't reckless, but I doubt it would have been such a conscious "thing" with its own name like it is today.
Since the modern percussion cap wasn't developed until 1842 and wasn't widely available until the American Civil War, the question is kind of hard to answer here.
Yeah...I think the intention is that her finger is actually behind the trigger guard--she's just holding the rifle by the stock.
I recognize that art style. They've also got a webcomic I've been reading for a while!

That background would look good on the endpapers of the print version of Witch Hunt!
The word; "Dang!" comes to mind right about now!
Oh yeah!Thanks for the note about the background! Really nice work all around!
