#Denebtober extra!
Not the best Sunday, but Tilde & Marigold make it better.
Just look at them!

TILDE + MARIGOLD <3

A picture of Tilde (left), a sweet-looking flower-seller and the witch Marigold, singing her praises. Sketched in full color, Tilde is brown-skinned with a flower & clover in her afro, wearing a tabard, shorts and sandals. Marigold is a head & a half taller in dark violet cross-ties made into a dress, along with a shawl and even more flower hair-decorations.
A sweet pair for a Sunday evening!

#Denebtober
Ribbon sketches!

DENEB RIBBON [Leader of the Deneb Coven]
An page full of sketches of Ribbon, a scarred but-never-scared young witch. Shameless, silly, sexy & severe -- no one ever has to guess what's on her mind.

My secondary hot take is that you need to decide if you like making comics for money, attention, or for yourself - because all of those are wildly different metrics of success and two of them don’t require you to financially set fire to your life (for at least 10 years)

Anyone have a particularly hot comic take?

From the #Denebtober Archives:
The signature picture of the Deneb Coven --
(l. to r.) 'Deneb', Ribbon, Tilde & Marigold on a walk,
up to nothing in particular... for now.

THE DENEB COVEN (March 13th, 2019)
A faux fish-eye lens picture of the three Deneb sisters; Deneb, Ribbon & Marigold (in dark purple) and their trusted friend Tilde (in green.)

Deneb (far left) strikes a sassy pose!
Ribbon (middle left) backtalks her ridiculous sister (and her familiar Shudders shoots a glare too...)
Tilde (middle right) gets her wife's attention.
Marigold (far right) wonders what all the noise is about?

On a stone path among grass & flowers, the witch sister's robust shapes and showy outfits stand out amid the misty-colored scenery.

Written 55 years ago, Schulz's heartfelt clarity cuts through the noise, even today.

h/t @tisserand.bsky.social

Scan of a typed letter from 1970, from Peanuts creator Charles Schulz, addressed to "Joel Lipton, 622 N. Foothill Road, Beverly Hills, Calif. 90210"

It reads:

"Dear Joel:

I think it is more difficult these days to define what makes a good citizen than it has ever been before. Certainly all any of us can do is follow our own conscience and retain faith in our democracy. Sometimes it is the very people who cry out the loudest in favor of getting back to what they call "American Virtues" who lack this faith in our country.

I believe that our greatest strength lies always in the protection of our smallest minorities.

Sincerely yours,

Charles M. Schulz"

It's #Denebtober too, in case you didn't know.
MARIGOLD IS MAKING SURE YOU DO!

"Wiiitchmooot tiiiiime!!1!"

A monochrome (green) sketch of the very tall, very busy and curvy witch Marigold, heralding a witchmoot. Waving a knife in her left hand, she shakes her flower-tangled hair and tasseled shawl, yelling for bonfires, questionable potables and magic rites with salacious outfits -- even more than the cross-tied dress she has on. Mari even yells at the wandering magician Targe in the background! Is he invited or is that an order??

If you like the idea of supporting a site (and its writer) that thinks nothing of bouncing between brand new releases, untranslated PC-98 raising sims, DOS favourites, and arcade treasures - click this way!

Honestly, every last tip and sub is a real help (and makes me smile, too):
