Gilly the cat offers Dipper the Corgi a deal, which is depicted in graphic form inside her speech balloons. She says that she will give Dipper her sword if, in exchange, Dipper lets her leave with the stolen gem. Dipper stares at the sword, looking tempted.
Hilde wants to make a deal...
Hilde the cat runs away from Dipper, towards a dead end blocked by a big rock. She is carrying the gem she stole, as well as her giant pencil. She uses the pencil to draw a sword on the rock, then grabs the sword and turns toward Dipper. She says a speech balloon with a picture of them sword fighting in it, suggesting she is expecting a mighty sword fight. But then she notices that Dipper doesn't have his sword. She asks him about it and he starts crying.
Stop rubbing it in, Hilde
Dipper chases after Hilde. For two panels we see him running, surrounded by motion lines. In the next panel he looks annoyed and stops running, but the lines remain. In the last panel we zoom out and see that a sheepish Hilde just drew the lines with her pencil.
Gotta go fast
Poppy the magician dog spots Hilde the cat stealing a large yellow gem from her collection. She chases after Hilde, while Dipper follows behind. Hilde uses her giant pencil to draw a crosswalk sign. Poppy stops immediately as the "don't walk" signal illuminates. Dipper looks back at Poppy as he ignores the sign and continues to chase Hilde.
Quick on the draw
Poppy looks into her magic hat, trying to figure out why it didn't work. Meanwhile, a catlike figure sneaks behind her and Dipper, and grabs the yellow gem on the shelf. Poppy's ear perks up as she hears the slight noise of it being grabbed.
Who's there?
Gotta see it!!!!
A four panel comic called "Skull Panda Feeds the Birds." In the first three panels, it appears that skull Panda is standing in a spotlight, tossing bird seed, looking around for birds. In the third panel, a weird tentacle like thing descends and touches his head. In the fourth panels, we zoom out to see he isn't standing in a spotlight... He is standing in the open mouth of a giant bird. The "tentacle" is the bird's tongue.
Skull Panda Feeds the Birds
Less than two weeks left to help kickstart Shards of Reflection!(!!)
A six panel comic. Poppy uses her hat to reach into the void, hoping to retrieve Dipper's sword. She reaches through the hat and off the right side of the page. She pulls out a tennis ball. Disappointed, she tosses it back in.
An image of the void to the right of the comic. We see Poppy reach in to grab the ball. Below, we see the ball being tossed back in. The bomb houses off of the squirrel, and then the bat hits it like a baseball with a big bone. The ball goes flying up in the air towards Poppy's hand.
Swipe to see how the magic trick "works"
I'm at Wondercon! Come see me at booth 2212!
Poppy the dog pulls out an ancient tome called Metamagic. She opens it to a page with an illustration of "the universe". It depicts the world as six panels floating in a big void. She points at a spot in the blank void and indicates that's where Dipper the corgi's sword is.
Dude, where's my sword
A beautiful future!
Poppy the magician dog tells Dipper the corgi to follow her. She leads him behind the curtain of her magic show, revealing a dimly lit backroom full of old books and chests and mysterious objects. As she leads him through the room, we see a large yellow gem sitting on a shelf. It resembles the gems that Hilde the cat has been collecting in the other comics.
Who knew she had so much stuff back there?
A comic strip. The title card says " magic with poppy: find a missing object" Poppy the magician dog sits in front of a crystal ball. Dipper the corgi asks where his missing sword is. Poppy rubs the crystal ball. Inside the ball, the clouds clear away to reveal... A big white blank. Poppy confidently replies to Dipper with a big white blank speech balloon. Dipper cartoon swears.
Some interpretation required
A six panel comic, showing Dipper the corgi struggling to find a weapon he can use instead of his lost sword. We see him: -running with a ball and chain, nervous that the ball will hit him -Dangling from the handle of a giant axe he can't lift -trying to blow darts out of a tube and not being able to get them very far -Zapping his own tail with a magic staff -Clinging to a cannonball he fired from a canon -Looking annoyed as a clown hands him a sword made from a balloon
It's really hard to replace a good sword
A six panel comic, three rows of panels. In the top row, Dipper throws a boomerang to the right, off the side of the page. On the next page, the boomerang turns around and comes back. Back on the first page, the boomerang comes back and cuts across the second row of panels. Dipper ducks underneath it as it travels by, slicing a line across the panels. In the third row, the panels split in half along the line that the boomerang cut. Dipper jumps up into the top half of the last panel, as the bottom half falls off and drops down into the void.
Unexpected consequences

Hilde the cat is in an underground chamber. In it, a ghost cat is sealed inside a black Dome. The Dome is surrounded by a circle of six gem slots, five of which have colourful gems inserted. Glowing lines in the floor connect the gems to the Dome. The ghost cat points towards the one slot that is empty. Hilde walks up to it. We see that on the outer wall behind the slots are murals depicting the gems in different locations. Behind the red gem, we see a mural of the tower where Hilde found it, for example. Behind the empty slot, Hilde looks up and sees a mural of poppy the dog magician with the last gem
One more to go...
Hilde the cat is in an underground chamber, in which a ghost cat is sealed inside a black Dome. The Dome is surrounded by six slots in which six gems can be inserted, although only four are currently in place. Hilde carries the fifth pink gem to one of the slots and inserts it. It has some sort of effect on the wall of the Dome, but doesn't get rid of it completely. Hilde knocks on it to see that it's still solid. She tries to use her magic staff to erase it but it zaps back at her.
Got a new plug-in
Hilde the cat says hello to a white ghost cat trapped inside a black Dome. She seems to be familiar with the ghost. Hilde proudly shows that she has collected another gem, then flexes. The ghost cat waves and poses, but doesn't have facial expressions. When Hilde turns away, the ghost looks a little like they are having trouble holding their form.
Oh, hello

Hilde the cat, carrying a big pink gem, enters a chamber. Centre of the chamber is a large black dome with a white outline similar to the outlines of the panels themselves. The dome is surrounded by 6 slots, four of which have the other gem she collected inserted. Two slots are empty. Hilde places a paw on the outside of the black dome. Inside the Dome, a white paw reaches back.

While I unfortunately can't be there in person, @davidmalki.com will be heroically manning my chunk of the booth! He's got a ton of my shirts and pins, as well as a bunch of books and prints that I signed. Go say hi to him!
Yeah but you were also holding that obscene sign
