"Surveillance isn't just about spying on you, Merlin. It's about controlling you. You know that." - Arthur

"I saw police ofiicers shoot down civilians. And now the New Morals are snatching people from their homes. You had people to stand up to them-you had over five thousand. You still have people loyal to you, who are waiting to follow your lead." - Gwen

"Do you have any idea what is happening right now? Do you? Or is this just some game that you and Arthur can play when you're atyour secret little club? This is real, Gwen. It's real life and it's fucking dangerous!" - Lancelot

Black and white comic showing King Arthur hiding behind a fallen tree while a dragon looks for him. Arthur says “Thank God I finally managed to find somewhere to hide. I can’t believe they’re really making me fight a dragon alone.”

Next panel of the black and white comic showing King Arthur in self doubt. He says: “How can they think I can do this by myself? I’m not a knight, I’m barely a king! I was just a kid when I pulled the sword out of the stone. Then I got married and everything was just…treaties and alliances and politics all the time. I’ve never had any time to myself, let alone been on a real adventure before!”

Final panels of the black and white comic. Arthur feels the all too familiar weight of expectation on him. He says: “It’s happening again, isn’t it? Everyone’s going to think I messed up again, won’t they?” He fusses with the kerchief around his neck, revealing an ominous “G” cross-stitched into it.

The Fish King #1.8

Kids, this is what happens to your comic when you listen to too much Dashboard Confessional.

If you’re in the mood for some more #ArthurianApril, today I’m talking Chretien de Troyes, arguably the most essential founding scribe of the canon.

High Noon over Camelot - YouTube

Since it’s still #ArthurianApril I’m going to recommend High Noon Over Camelot by the Mechanisms. It’s Arthurian mythology on a space station with a western twist!

And here we are finally. #arthurianapril

Morgan le Fay! Or, Morgen as I like to call her. Wise woman, healer, seductress, crone? All and then some.

I know it’s a little late, but celebrating #ArthurianApril by reading Queen of Fury by @natania.bsky.social !

somehow I wrote 3,400 words today. I guess Gwenhwyfar & Lancelot just write themselves 🙃 #WIP #TheFutureKing #Pendragon #KingArthur #ArthurianApril #Arthurian #BookSky

Panel 1: King Arthur desperately hugging his friend Yvain begging for him to save him from the dragon. Yvain responds “Aw, there there.” Panel 2: Yvain reassures Arthur and says “So sorry I’m late, but don’t worry Arthur. I’m here now.” Arthur responds “Oh thank God!”

Panel 3: Yvain rolls up his sleeves and prepares to face the dragon. He says “Just wait right there and I’ll sort this whole thing out. Panel 4: The lion Lunette is biting the dragon’s tail and wagging its own tail happily. Yvain admonishes Lunette by saying “Lunette! Let go of that dragon right this second!” Panel 5: The lion lifts up Lunette by its tail while Lunette continues to happily wag its tail. Yvain address the dragon directly and says, “And you, dragon….”

Panel 6: Yvain grabs King Arthur and points at him while angrily addressing the dragon, “Did you forget who your opponent was? This here is King Arthur and he’s going through a lot right now so you’d better give him a good fight. Got it?” Arthur is chagrinned and tries to stop Yvain from pointing at him while thinking to himself “Et tu, Yvain?”

The Fish King #1.7

Shoutout to all the Arthuriana/Shakespeare nerds out there! I hope all 5 of you appreciate the tiny reference to King Arthur originally being a Roman general here.

I’m traveling, so it’s pretty much impossible to record #arthurianapril in an airport.

Instead… well, you know the drill.

Too many goodbyes in my book; too many goodbyes this year #WriteSky #WritingCommunity #WritingPrompts #BookSky #KingArthur #Arthurian #ArthurianApril #TheFutureKing

The Fish King #1.6!

As a comic artist I’ve always found gutters really limiting (and I’m completely useless when it comes to rulers), so I love breaking out of them and coming up with wacky compositions like this whenever I can.

Today’s Arthurian April video is about two Orkney brothers often mistaken for one another (and admittedly, I even struggled once or twice) Sir Gaheris and Sir Gareth! #arthurianapril #mythology
