Something is wrong here; this doesn't look like the usual art style. It looks like it was drawn by Fran Sundblad of "Tiff & Eve" fame. Weird. 1. Tamilda is helping out with Kayra's Potions (not Poisons) stall. She is staring wide-eyed up into the sky. Singing Cricket leans on the stall and advises her. He does not notice a purple tentacle approaching behind him. Singing Cricket: "Hey kiddo, you shouldn't do that?" Tamilda: "Hm?" Singing Cricket: "Staring at the sun is really bad for your eyes." Tamilda: "Oh, right. I won't."

2. Tamilda continues looking at the sky. Singing Cricket is dragged away, unnoticed. Kayra holds a crate of potions. Among the items hanging from the top of the stall is an annoyed-looking gnome. Tamilda: "Kayra?" Kayra: "Yes, sweetie?" Tamilda: "How long do your potions of True Sight last?"

3. Kayra starts unloading the crate. Tamilda continues staring at the sky. The hanging gnome sticks her tongue out. Kayra :"An hour or two. I tink. I'm not sure." Tamilda: "Have you ever tried them?" Kayra: "Never. Why? What do you see?"

4. The angle changes; we now see Tamilda from behind, and see what she sees. The sun has been replaced by an enormous eye, staring down at her. Tamilda: "Nothin'."

True Sight

There's a reason this is a sixth-level spell... Some things should remain unseen.

Tamilda, Kayra, and Nanny Muk from the comic Love and Hex. This is a "bone hurting juice" edit of the first panel of episode #144. Tamilda angrily looks down with her hands out. "I'm gonna do it!" Kayra, looking concerned and trying to stop her: "No, Tamilda! I know we want the comic to appeal to kids, but there must be another way --" Tamilda, loudly: "6-7!" Nanny Muk approaches from behind holding a dark cloth: "I'm going to smother this child."

Sometimes you get a really dumb idea and you just have to do it. (An edit of the first panel of Love and Hex number 144)

My daughter is going to hit me when I show this to her.

A special Valentine's Day comic from Love and Hex, depicting Singing Cricket (bald Drunken Master monk who always wears his martial arts robes) and Kayra (green-skinned, red-haired young night hag who is much more attractive than she'd like to be, wearing a little black dress). 1: Singing Cricket and Kayra approach each other with their hands behind their backs. Singing Cricket: "❤️" Kayra: "❤️" 2: They each present their gifts to the other: Singing Cricket presents a heart-shaped box of chocolates, while Kayra presents what looks like an actual anatomical heart (from some animal or humanoid creature, we don't know). Singing Cricket: "❤️!" Kayra: "❤️!" 3: They each hold their gifts and look at them, disappointed or puzzled. The heart drips blood all over Singing Cricket's hands. Singing Cricket: "?" Kayra: "?" 4: The pair of them sit on the couch, watching the bugs perform a miniature production of Romeo and Juliet on the coffee table. Singing Cricket eats his chocolates while Kayra, resting her head against his chest, eats her heart. Singing Cricket and Kayra together: "❤️"

I drew this last year as part of a Valentine's Day card for my wife (printable download, see Patreon); a year later, I can finally share it.

Tamilda, from the comic Love and Hex - a young teen girl with freckles on her cheeks and brown hair in a ponytail. She has a sneer on her face and crossed arms. She's wearing the outfit Misako wears in the River City Girls video game: a white collared shirt with long sleeves; a short red tie; black shorts; green thigh-high socks with white stripes at the top; and a pink backpack. Her sword sticks out the back of the backpack.

I've been playing River City Girls with my daughter recently, so here's Tamilda in Misako's outfit.

Page 142 from the comic Love and Hex. 1. A frog sits, pretty chill, on a lily pad in a swamp. A hand reaches down toward it. 2. Tamilda, with a sword strapped to her back, holds the frog in her hands. Eyes closed, she gives it a kiss, with a big SMOOCH in the background. 3. Tamilda recoils from a big POOF of smoke. 4. A muscular prince, with curly hair, a pencil moustache, a crown, and a long nose, looks at his hands in delighted astonishment. Prince: "Ye gods - I'm human! With TRUE LOVE'S KISS, my curse of these two hundred years is broken at last!" 5. The prince, who is clad only in crown and boxer shorts with a crown pattern on them, takes Tamilda's hand in both of his and gets down on one knee in the swampy water, among the reeds cattails. Tamilda grins awkwardly and looks away from him. Prince: "And by such a fair maid! My love, I thiank thee for freeing me with thy sweet kiss. But let us tarry not, lest the witch of these woods discover us! Come, we must make haste to my castle, where we shall be wed anon!" Tamilda: "Riiight... And where in the woods EXACTLY would that nasty old witch be found?" Prince: "The hags dwell just over yon hillside. But worry not, my beloved! Our path shall not cross those wyrd sisters." 6. With a smile, Tamilda sprints off in the direction of the forested hill. The prince, confused and distraught, reaches for her. A little frog on a nearby lily pad turns to watch. Tamilda: "Thanks! We were supposed to meet this morning, and I'm SUPER late. I'd swear the trees here change the paths for fun. I hope I haven't missed dinner!" Prince: "But - fair maid --" Tamilda: "Have fun being human!" 7. The prince watches sadly as Tamilda disappears into the hills. Prince: "But... My one true love..." 8. The prince crouches in the swamp and dips his finger into the water, his eyes downcast. The frog looks at him. Prince: "Sigh... It was nice, being a frog."

A sticker featuring an adorable baby dragon popping his head out of a hoard of gold coins and other treasure, and yawning, suggesting he was probably sleeping inside the pile of coins. Features the logo of the comic "Love and Hex" at the bottom of the pile.

Stickers of three Love and Hex critters: a jaunty Dojo (chicken-legged house), Charlie the owlbear, and the yawning dragon in a pile of treasure. They are all cute.

I got my latest sticker design printed - a sleepy baby dragon in his treasure hoard. When I showed it to my daughter, she gave me an angry look and said, "Dad! You made it TOO cute!"

Ah, well. We live and learn.

Page 139 from the comic Love and Hex. Full transcript will be available at https://crookedgoat.ca when I get a chance to update that site.. Danna and Amanda from The Astral Diaries bring a gift to Singing Cricket. Kayra offers them a token in return, but there's more to it than they're expecting. In the meantime, perhaps the girls grow a little bit closer...? 1. Two girls, Danna and Amanda, bring a misdelivered package to Singing Cricket. He and Kayra open the door, clearly in the middle of something, judging by Kayra's sexy Santa outfit and drink, and Singing Cricket's lack of a shirt. Kayra: "Oh! The house didn't eat you. Hello!" Amanada: "Uh, hi! We think this belongs to you?" Singing Cricket: "Ooh!" 2. Kayra leads the girls inside while Singing Cricket opens his package. A tag falls off: "From Granny". Amanda looks around at the strange signs in the house. Kayra: "You brought my husband a present! How sweet." Danna: "It was just misdelivered." 3. In the background, Singing Cricket is attacked by the present -- it's a mimic. Amanda watches with interest. Kayra digs around in a chest, bending over. Danna watches with interest. Singing Cricket: "Aargh! Not again!" Kayra: "Even so, you deserve something too!" 4. Kayra offers the girls a large, shining jewel. The girls reach out to touch it. Kayra: "I found a pile of these behind the house." Amanda: "Ooh!" Kayra: "Take it. We have lots!" 5. The girls leave. Amanda waves goodbye at Kayra, who stands at the door and waves back. Singing Cricket continues wrestling with the mimic. The girls are both holding the jewel, their hands touching. Amanda: "Bye! Thank you!" Danna: "It's sticky." 6. Close-up on the girls' hands, and the jewel. They are nearly holding hands, with the jewel between. An eye opens on the jewel, looking up at Danna. Danna: "Amanda, I don't think I can let go." Amanda: "That's all right."

A four-panel "Love and Hex" comic. Singing Cricket, a retired adventurer, approaches Kayra, a young and (to her dismay) attractive hag. Kayra is stirring a cauldron of bubbling green liquid. SC: "Hey babe, what's cooking?" K: "We don't have a lot of readers, so I'm brewing a potion to make us more popular!" Singing Cricket dips his glass into the cauldron and takes a swig, to Kayra's protests. SC: "Let's have a taste!" K: "Wait, husband, that's not for you--" With a BOING, from Singing Cricket's chest erupt a pair of enormous breasts. Just some seriously honkin' knockers. He is surprised by this. Kayra pulls out a book and starts leafing through it. "I'll find a recipe to reverse it." Singing Cricket gives his new boobs a squeeze and replies, "Take your time."

How to be popular (Love and Hex)

It's a good idea to ask questions before drinking something a hag brewed up.

Singing Cricket, doing up his tie: "I'm surprised you went with Harley and not Poison Ivy." Kayra: "Why's that?" Singing Cricket: "You know... green skin..." Kayra: "Husband, that is a LITTLE offensive."

A bonus page from the comic Love and Hex. A shirtless slasher (looks like Jason Voorhees of the Friday the 13th movies) flees Nanny Muk's cottage in a panic. From inside, Nanny says, "All right, dearie, now it's your turn..." The house comes alive. Its front wall turns into a huge mouth full of pointy teeth. Its enormous tongue reaches out and lifts the slasher to eat him. From inside, Nanny continues: "Calvin, darling -- did you see where our guest ran off to?" The house chews on its victim as Nanny continues, "Never mind... I'm sure he'll turn up again." In the background, a tree chases after a raccoon, only to be swarmed by the raccoon's friends in the final panel.

A black-and-white image showing changeling Kayra (a construct of mud and sticks, who has been raised as a human by her oblivious parents), being hurt emotionally by her unknowing mother. The scene takes place after episode 126 (http://crookedgoat.ca/comic/exposed). Her mother walks past her, remarking on the show she'd just seen. The text gets more and more rough and erratic, signifying the emotional impact of the words. "What a talent! Such a shame about that horrible hideous PUPPET!" The tail of the speech balloon pierces through the Changeling's body before pointing at the mother.

#Inktober day 6: Pierce

Not a funny one this time; the prompt just seemed to fit the Changeling and her story. Her relationship with her mother is... complicated.

This one references episode 126 (Exposed).

A Love and Hex comic for the Inktober prompt "weave". Panel 1: Nanny Muk (gruesome-looking elderly green hag) looks in a mirror, patting her thick. luxurious new hair, which seems to be sitting atop her normal thin grey wisps. She is in conversation with Kayra, a young and attractive (much to her chagrin) night hag, who smiles at her. Nanny Muk: "Kayra, dearie - what do you think of my new weave? It's natural halfling hair!" Kayra: "Wow, Nanny - it looks great! Although..." Panel 2: Nanny turns around, revealing a young halfling woman attached to the back of her head. The thick, lustrous hair turns out to be the halfling's. Kayra points. Kayra: "...I think you're supposed to take it off the halfling first."

#Inktober day 2: Weave

I was originally going to do something with the three Greek fates (spooling, weaving, and cutting), but then I had a dumber idea.

A book cover for the comic Love and Hex. Depicts lovers Kayra (young, green skinned, pointy toothed, black eyed witch) and Singing Cricket (bald martial artist), leaning over a table holding hands. Singing Cricket's eyes are closed and mouth open, as Kayra feeds him a large centipede. In the background, pressed against a window, Charlie the owlbear attempts to enter with mouth open and claws spread.

The one thing holding me back from committing to a print edition was my inexperience with cover design.

I think I finally came up with something I like. So a print version of Love and Hex (vol. 1) should be available in the near-ish future.
