Vote over at TWC and you can see part of a sketch I'm working on 

My original plan for this chapter was to help wrap up Charlene's dangling storyline in a way that's not just "I came up north because I'm supposed to meet this weird lady who's a werewolf and get a job at her coffee shop." Because that's not very interesting! This is a story about finding yourself and challenging yourself to leave your safe bubble, so Charlene is going to do that. I'm finally out of the expository part of this chapter for the most part! Took 40 pages, but when doesn't it? Next week, we'll switch back to catch up with Malaya (and Aubrey), because believe it or not, there's a big development for her in this chapter as well. 

Oh, and at some point, Alphonsus will show up. He decided to fly in, mostly because I didn't want to draw a crow for the last so many pages. I have no idea if a crow could reasonably fly a distance that takes 6 hours to drive, but this is a comic were werewolves exist, so it's fine. 

-------------------------

I haven't forgotten about my idea for a contest yet! It got a bit waylaid because my life is chaos and I'm trying to get a million things done this month it seems, but we'll come back to it one day! In the meantime, there's new merch up at the Hivemill store. I added some new prints and tshirts finally, so if you like my comic and would like to support me, please go see if there's something you like! The shirts are American Apparel, so size up if you're not sure what size to get.

I made a TikTok? I haven't been using it really, but China already knows my whole life at this point anyway.

HTBAW Fandom Wiki is up and running! Thanks to Myk Streja for tons of help with moderation efforts and everyone else who's done a ton of work on adding information and filling out the Wiki. I know nothing about how this stuff works and I'm too old to learn :D.

Feel free to check out my goofy Amazon store if you're so inclined (this is an ad, as I get a tiny commission if you do buy something), or I have some merch up on Society6 if you're looking for my old store link! Thanks to everyone who's come out to support me through Ko-fi and Patreon!
