“Forces arrayed against us”

« Previous    Next »

Well, at least Watusi and Percy know what they’re up against! As someone once said, “knowing is half the battle” … now it’s up to our intrepid adventurers to win the other half!

“Persistence isn’t futile”

I certainly hope Watusi knows what he– and Percy– are getting in for!

Oh, Percy, when will you listen? If only this Watusi was a talking dog…

“Walk on the wild side”

I’ll sprinkle a few bits of Victorian slang into the story as we go along. Pages like this and this helped me out in that research, in addition to introducing me to lots of charming phrases that I wasn’t able to fit into the story…

“Resolved!”

Comic nerd alert: the last two episodes featuring Anderson Catwell reminded me a lot of Batman’s first appearance in Detective Comics #27, so I threw a little visual nod to the character’s origin story (Detective Comics #33) into this episode’s first panel.

“Stern words of advice”

Whew! It looks like Percy is free to get back to his poetry now…

I’ve got a different kind of Watusi adventure for you, starting today! Hopefully it will take your mind off the terrible events in Wonder Valley…

“A darker turn”

While I figure out what to do without a title character for this strip, I thought I’d throw a bone to those of you who’ve been reading since the beginning.
