New update at Substack, rife with lycanthropological psychology. (I haven’t figured out the various branches of lycanthropology, there totally are branches.) Follow link for commentary: calebcollins.substack.com/p/its-not-ju... #comics #comicbooks #webcomics

Raw scans of today’s WIP. The final panel inked. I am by no means dismounting the saddle, but this will be the last daily WIP post for a while, as I’ll need to figure out what I’m working on next before doing it on a daily basis. Weekly posts will continue at Substack. #comics #comicbooks #webcomics

Raw scans of today’s WIP. The middle inked and the bottom penciled. THE END, inasmuch as a continuing webcomic ever ends. #comics #comicbooks #webcomics

Dove Square Comix @caleb7collins.bsky.social · 30/09/2026

Raw scans of today’s WIP. Line work finished on the top 2, pencils on the middle 2. Georgie’s totally going to end up in the jacket, but I don’t have any exact plans yet. #comics #comicbooks #webcomics

Dove Square Comix @caleb7collins.bsky.social · 29/09/2026

Raw scans of today’s WIP. The top 2 panels of the current page, which is also the final page. I’d hoped to get more inks than the solid blacks down, but the real world interceded on behalf all its real world nonsense, so line work tomorrow it is. #comics #comicbooks #webcomics

Dove Square Comix @caleb7collins.bsky.social · 28/09/2026

Raw scans of today’s WIP. Inks on the last two panels of the current page. Families will family, fam. #comics #comicbooks #webcomics

Raw scans of today’s WIP. Progress continues on the current page. I haven’t gotten into the nuts and bolt, but Lily’s reconciliation with Dee *just might* have something to with providing an emotionally nurturing environment for Georgie. #comics #comicbooks #webcomics

Dove Square Comix @caleb7collins.bsky.social · 26/09/2026

Raw scans of today’s WIP. Lettering and the thought bubble panel border took some time, but here are the middle two panels. I decided to show Sam only as a disembodied gripping hand even in flashback because, y’know, he’s already gone. #comics #comicbooks #webcomics

Dove Square Comix @caleb7collins.bsky.social · 25/09/2026

Raw scans of today’s WIP. The bottom 2 panels of the current page. Kids, man. You gotta keep an eye on them all the time or they’ll go exploring like they were put on earth just to figure it out, or something. #comics #comicbooks #webcomics

Dove Square Comix @caleb7collins.bsky.social · 24/09/2026

Raw scans of today’s WIP. The rest of the page penciled with the middle two panels inked. I went for the world’s simplest 6 panel layout throughout this story, just because it really wouldn’t benefit from anything flashy. #comics #comicbooks #webcomics

Dove Square Comix @caleb7collins.bsky.social · 24/09/2026

Raw scans of today’s WIP. I had one of those really awesome days where I fucked it so badly as to have to resetter the whole entire page, but here’s the top two panels thereof.

010

Dove Square Comix @caleb7collins.bsky.social · 22/09/2026

Raw scans of today’s WIP. Completed inks on the bottom right of the current page. It’s not weird, Georgie Wilcox is just the sort of 14 year old who uses suicide as a verb.

000

Dove Square Comix @caleb7collins.bsky.social · 21/09/2026

Raw scans of today’s WIP. Inks on the top left half of the current page. Flash forwards are always a bit chancy. I decided to give Lily a new hairstyle and leave Dee’s the same just for recognizability, but I’m more worried about whether the kids will even still be using smartphones in 2036.

Dove Square Comix @caleb7collins.bsky.social · 20/09/2026

Raw scans of today’s WIP. Pencils with the title inked on the first page of the last interlude, which I suppose makes it the epilog. The title is a common genre phrase, but that doesn’t really mean anything, inasmuch that life is meaningless and all truth is lies, or something.

010

Dove Square Comix @caleb7collins.bsky.social · 19/09/2026

Raw scans of today’s WIP. Yesterday’s pencils inked. Caleb sleep now. Well, not before supper, but, y'know.

021

Dove Square Comix @caleb7collins.bsky.social · 18/09/2026

Raw scans of today’s WIP. The top fully inked and the middle fully penciled. (Actually, I’ll do a pass with 2B to tighten those up before inking, but *mostly* penciled.) Sam and Lily have finally reached the point where they can share a well deserved, if world weary, drink from the old country.

000

Dove Square Comix @caleb7collins.bsky.social · 17/09/2026

Raw scans of today’s WIP. Top 3 penciled with 1 inked. Lily’s already calling herself ‘Mommy’ while reaching for a bottle, the kid’s going to grow up in a *VERY* stable household. I had to get the panel of Sam inked for reasons of composition, so here we are.

000

Dove Square Comix @caleb7collins.bsky.social · 16/09/2026

Raw scans of today’s WIP. Spent most of the day lettering, which entailed some revising on the fly., but manage to complete the last panel of the last page of the current chapter. Sam’s setting a lifelong geas on newborn Georgie, but she’s so innocent as to be immune to such magics, or something.

010

Dove Square Comix @caleb7collins.bsky.social · 15/09/2026

Raw scans of today’s WIP. Yesterday’s blues, fully inked. Once again, Lily’s a very responsible parent, she was totally going to put the kid on the floor *very gently* before she started doing shots, and there’s no tequila left anyhow so, no harm, no foul.

020

Dove Square Comix @caleb7collins.bsky.social · 14/09/2026

Raw scans of today’s WIP. Inks on that one panel and blues for the rest of the page. I’ll have to change pair to trio, but them’s the breaks of getting esoteric with a 3-way cribbage match. It’s easy, you just deal hands of 5 and 1 to the crib, and a person starts from the other end of the board.

Dove Square Comix @caleb7collins.bsky.social · 13/09/2026

Raw scans of today’s WIP. Yesterday’s pencils inked, with another panel pencilled, but I spent most of my day dealing with tedious bullshit. Look, whatever, Lily’s taking care to sit far enough away to avoid an infant contact high, its responsible parenting.

001

Dove Square Comix @caleb7collins.bsky.social · 12/09/2026

Raw scans of today’s WIP. Top three penciled with the first inked. Drawing a sunset in black and white is fun.

Dove Square Comix @caleb7collins.bsky.social · 11/09/2026

Raw scans of today’s WIP. Like Georgie, I was baptized in a pond at the foot of our lawn, by a family friend who was also my godfather and a minister of the Universal Life Church. Rhode Island coastal ponds are brackish, so I’m taking some artistic license with the Michigan shoreline vegetation.

021

Dove Square Comix @caleb7collins.bsky.social · 10/09/2026

Raw scans of today’s WIP. She’s crying for the first time, but it’s not child abuse, it’s just her christening. Well, her ditheistening, but that’s a bit iffy, theologically speaking. Gnosticism, man, just *GNOSTICISM*.

010

Dove Square Comix @caleb7collins.bsky.social · 09/09/2026

Raw scans of today’s WIP. Some blues, some pencils and a enough ink to cover the embarrassingly bad layout choices on the lettering, along with the inset of Sam overjoyed reaction to learning his granddaughter’s name. Off to have cake!

011

Dove Square Comix @caleb7collins.bsky.social · 08/09/2026

Raw scans of today’s WIP. Bottom three finished, completing the page. Lily’s a perfectly responsible parent, it’s just that some you gotta do the one handed football carry with a squirming kid while you’re hip deep in a pond.

001

Dove Square Comix @caleb7collins.bsky.social · 07/09/2026

Raw scans of today’s WIP. Inks on yesterday’s pencils. All those weird little crescents will look significantly more lupine with some white media, but I’m just figuring out the composition for now. Also, Three is just wearing the jacket *FOR NOW*, as established by Faye a generation ago.

Dove Square Comix @caleb7collins.bsky.social · 06/09/2026

Raw scans of today’s WIP. Top pencils on the current page with 1 panel inked. Figuring out Lily’s still carrying some baby weight with lactation swollen breasts physique was fun, but not as fun as realizing I spent half the morning pencilling with the wrong hardness of lead.

000

Dove Square Comix @caleb7collins.bsky.social · 05/09/2026

Raw scans of today’s WIP. Just the bottom half of that one panel. I had hoped to get some white media down, but haste made waste, and so I will being doing some touch ups once the ink is fully dry.

This iconic 1971 photo of Gloria Steinem and Dorothy Pitman Hughes has always said so much without saying a word. Two women. Two raised fists. One shared fight for equality. Dorothy passed in 2022. Now Gloria is gone too. Two giants who helped change America. Rest in power, Gloria. ✊🏼✊🏾

Raw scans of today’s WIP. Completed inks on the bottom 3 spread, which means I’ve still got the flash-now(?) half of panel 1 eating at me, but I got the next page lettered too, so that’s something. Sam is straying perilously close to self-insight here, but don’t worry.

000

Dove Square Comix @caleb7collins.bsky.social · 03/09/2026

Raw scans of today’s WIP. Completed pencils on the current page with a few more inks. It was important to me to ink the flashback/thought balloon separately from the rest of panel one, but god knows I’ll just feel neurotic about making the art match until it’s inked.

Dove Square Comix @caleb7collins.bsky.social · 02/09/2026

Raw scans of today’s WIP. Pencils on the top of the current page with one panel inked. I first mentioned the whole diaper thing back in Lovelorn Young Werewolves in Love, back in 2020. It’s less about laying ground work for a specific plan than filling up the junk drawer just in case.

000

Dove Square Comix @caleb7collins.bsky.social · 01/09/2026

Raw scans of today’s WIP. The bottom half of the current page, fully inked. I decided to dispense with the diaper just because, so here’s hoping I don’t end up on a list.

000

Dove Square Comix @caleb7collins.bsky.social · 31/08/2026

Raw scans of today’s WIP. Inks on the top 3 spread of the current page. It’s not weird, Livonian werewolves watch enough Star Wars to know the Ben Kenobi quote and also follow crypto-christian ditheism which includes the Garden of Eden in its belief system, just be cool.

Raw scans of today’s WIP. Pencils on the current page with one panel inked. I managed to miss a word balloon, which is less embarrassing than the typo, but I managed to disguise the typo well enough.

000

Dove Square Comix @caleb7collins.bsky.social · 29/08/2026

Raw scans of today’s WIP. Inks on the final, which more accurately the second, panel of the current page. I also got a state on the lettering of the next, but I wrote ‘your’ instead of ‘you’re’ so I’ll hiding under a big pile of coats in shame for the rest of the day.

000

Dove Square Comix @caleb7collins.bsky.social · 28/08/2026

Raw scans of today’s WIP. Just the top panel inked, because I spent my day having my ass kicked up and down the street by hay fever, followed by hoping it is hay fever and not cyclospora or whatever new food born illness RFK has turned a blind eye to.

010

Dove Square Comix @caleb7collins.bsky.social · 27/08/2026

Raw scans of today’s WIP. Finished pencils with the bottom inked on the current page. If you’re going to introduce the concept of religious werewolves, it sort of behooves you to include some sectarian differences in the world building.

000

Dove Square Comix @caleb7collins.bsky.social · 26/08/2026

Raw scans of today’s WIP. Just blues (yes, I’m back to the non-photo blue roughs), lettering and the final panel inked. Given the wonky lettering and the smeared ink, I decided to quit while I was behind.

010

Dove Square Comix @caleb7collins.bsky.social · 25/08/2026

Raw scans of today’s WIP. Inks on the bottom of the current page. Sam wasn’t beside himself, he just murdered the guy he held responsible and left it at that, easy-peasy, lemon-squeezey.

000

Dove Square Comix @caleb7collins.bsky.social · 24/08/2026

Raw scans of today’s WIP. Just that one big/establishing/splash panel inked, filling out the top of the page. In comparison to todays Substack, there actually is some domestic tranquility going on in the kitchen, but it’s gonna be, like, a year until this opposite example reaches its posting date.

Dove Square Comix @caleb7collins.bsky.social · 23/08/2026

Raw scans of today’s WIP. Pencils complete (Well, complete-ish, I foresee some erasing) and a smattering of inks on the current page. I’m not even counting the title panel, that’s polar bear in a snow storm nonsense.

000

Dove Square Comix @caleb7collins.bsky.social · 22/08/2026

Raw scans of today’s WIP. Inks on the last two panels from theist page, followed by one from the next of Sam trying for deep thoughts and coming up empty. This is Lily’s story, but Sam’s presence in her life warrants a little page space.
