Hey y'all! I'm officially announcing my new Webcomic

Chicken Legs!
a young witch, Mariska Morevna, striking it out on her own trying to prove herself to her imposing family
chickenlegs.co

Launching OCT 31

comic cover with the title "Chicken Legs" at the top of the page imposed over the lower half of a very large chicken standing on a field. A young unimpressed girl stands at the chickens feet. She glares up at the camera. She's white with brown curly hair pulled back from her face in a messy ponytail and small pomp. She is wearing a dark purple dress with a light blue belt and white collared shirt underneath and holding a green potion in a round flask in her clinched fist. She has wooden legs with large round knees and is wearing black boots with socks.

"The apparitions are getting worse. The air in the vaults feels like a thin curtain that could be ripped away at any moment. I do not know what door I opened in search of the afterlife, but I pray to all the gods it isn't the one our souls go to in the end."

A quick one for the spookiest of seasons

Pen and ink illustration depicting a darkened doorway in a stone wall. A robed scholar scrambles away from the doorway in a panic, having dropped his writing implements, as a monstrous, glowing apparition manifests in the darkness beyond. At first glance, it appears vaguely humanoid, but has the suggestion of three heads, many mouths, and an indeterminate number of limbs.

Day 283: The final installment of this mini-arc (for now) is dressed up in the style of my boy Charles Schulz!

2-panel comic drawn in the style of Peanuts comic creator Charles Schulz (my fellow Minnesotan), with my spouse and I styled similarly to Charlie Brown and Lucy respectively, but my spouse is wearing a hawaiian print shirt, square glasses and has a full head of dark, curly hair and I have round glasses and longer dark hair. The caption above the comic says "Dressing my comic up as other comics (Pt. 10)"
Both panels show us sitting at the window of our house and looking outside; panel 1 shows my spouse with their hands in the air, saying "So, now that we stopped that killer squash vine and fixed our house, what did we learn?"
In panel 1, I reply "Not a lot!" and hold one finger in the air; my spouse looks defeated.
Beneath the comic is my signature (Kat Baumann), today's date (10-10-2025) and the time I spent drawing this (50 minutes)

I’ve never seen this before! An *inward-indicating* word-balloon tail (that’s the speaker’s right arm descending below the word balloon).

FASCINATING! Does this tail technique have a name? Have folks seen it used elsewhere?? I have so many questions!!! (From HIRAYASUMI, book 3, pg 37)

In less sad news I had a little time to draw a mini (4X5) poster for episode 33 of the Granada Sherlock Holmes starring Jeremy Brett: The master blackmailer! This episode has great elements but it’s all over the place and doesn’t quite land. Still worth celebrating.

October art challenge Day 2: Mummy
Since yōkai prompts aren’t daily, I’ll be borrowing #creatober2025 promots (created by Pelidraws on IG) on days I’m not drawing a yōkai. That means I won’t be able to draw everything on this list, but if I can stick two prompts in one drawing I’ll do that!

For you signature collectors, I’ll have Artist Alley cheat sheets at my table at NYCC! There are 140 real people on the cover of the deluxe Superman’s Pal Jimmy Olsen. At least 12 of them are in artist alley! Some folks are already trying to get *everyone* in the crowd to sign the endpapers.

Two copies of Superman’s pal Jimmy Olsen, along with the cheat sheet

The endpapers, an array of bow ties. Eleven of the bow ties are already signed.
