Love and Hex #158: Catharsis, part 2 The changeling finally works up the courage to confess to her fiancé. His reaction is... not what she expected. If you're confused, you might want to read the previous episode. Or maybe just start the comic from the beginning #comics #webcomic #dnd #ttrpg #art

Page 158 from the comic Love and Hex. Full transcript: https://crookedgoat.ca/comic/158/

Kayra confesses to her fiancé, Jonathan, that she's actually a changeling. His reaction is not what she expected.

Catharasis, part 1 (Love and Hex #157) This wasn't intended as a cliffhanger, but it wouldn't fit into one page; given the topic, it needed some room to breathe. (Her confession: she's a changeling, not a human. Prev episodes have been posted already!) #comics #webcomic #dnd #ttrpg #changeling

Love and Hex 155: Last Straw It's not just combat that can trigger a barbarian rage. Emotional damage is just as effective. Sassy has had a long and frustrating day. #dnd #dungeonsanddragons #ttrpg #comics #webcomics #comic #art #bskyart #monstergirl

Page 155 from the comic Love and Hex. Six panels.

1. Kayra's mother leaves the bride's dressing room with a calm smile and addresses Sassy, our maid of honour, a big, beautiful, buff half-orc lady who is lacking in romantic confidence.

Mother: "Kayra just needs a moment to get ready. Sassy, be a dear and don't let anyone in to disturb her."

Sassy, confidently saluting and ready to do her wedding duties: "You can count on me, ma'am!"

2. Kayra's mother moves off-panel: "Well, I suppose there's a first time for everything."

This sets Sassy off. She clenches her fist. Her eyes bulge. She grits her teeth and turns red. "Grrr..."

3. "Later..." The wedding guests are sitting in rows, waiting for the wedding to begin. People are looking bored. The hag coven are in their human disguises. Granny dismal sits patiently, while Nanny Muk leans back with here eyes closed. Kayra and Singing Cricket hold hands as Singing Cricket leans over to whisper to Kayra. Next to him, Tamilda stifles a laugh as a cat tail (Maki's) tickles her face.

Singing Cricket: "The bard has been riffing on the opening bars of the wedding march for ten minutes. I think something's wrong."

4. Nanny Muk gets up with a grin and heads toward the exit. Everyone looks at her. Tamilda grabs Maki's tail, and a little "Eek!" comes from off-panel.

Nanny Muk: "The poor thing probably has cold feet. A chat with dear old Nanny should set her right."

5. Granny Dismal looks down at where Nanny Muk had been sitting. Now that she's gone, an embarrassed dapper halfling man is revealed. Was he... under her dress?

Tamilda is about to bite Maki's tail, but is interrupted by a loud RRAARGH! from the next room.

6. An unusually flustered - even frightened-looking - Nanny Muk, with cuts on her arms, rushes inside and slams the door.

Nanny Muk: "Who gave the maid of honour a battleaxe?"

There is a certain level of obtuseness in (some) "AI" apologists when they flounce up to point out what "AI" is good for in science, etc, while eliding the fact that almost none of that use is driving the current market capitalization, environmental degradation and resource hogging of the field

Getting Ready (Love and Hex #154) Hey, the changeling is still here! It's her wedding! Don't let the other characters' shenanigans distract you from her story. (This is more a message to myself than to you.) #comics #webcomic #art #drama #dnd #ttrpg #monstergirl #loveandhex #bskyart

1. Changeling Kayra, dressed for her wedding and still looking like a human, sits in front of a mirror while her mother fusses with her hair.

Changeling: "Mother, you've been fussing over me for hours."

Mother: "It's just these few stubborn strands..."

2. Mother and daughter look at each other affectionately.

Mother: "You long beautiful, dear. Even more than usual."

Changeling: "Thank you."

Mother: "And you've become such a wonderful, talented, lovely woman... You have always made me so proud."

3. Mother claps her hands. "now - *sniff* let's get you married!"

Changeling interjects: "Just a moment, mother-"

4. Changeling Kayra takes her mother's hands to plead with her.

Changeling: "I know I breaks tradition, but I REALLY need to speak to Jonathan-"

Mother: "Dear, Johnny loves you. There's nothing you can tell him that will change his mind."

5. Mother leaves the room and shuts the door behind her. Changeling Kayra looks on, alone.

Mother: "And the ceremony is about to start! You can talk so you like after the views are exchanged. It would be terribly bad luck if Johnny saw you in HERE - you'll see each other very soon!"

Changeling: "Sigh... Jonathan has NEVER really SEEN me..."`

6. Changeling Kayra looks at herself in the mirror and Reaves to touch her reflection. The reflection shows her true self: a construct of mud, sucks, and buttons.

Changeling: "...But he will."

#MagexWitch - Eye’d Tea Hagatha shows off one of her special recipes! When I was drawing this comic all I could think was “The Love & Hex crew would love this drink” So special thanks to @crookedgoat.ca for letting me use Kayra in the bonus strip! #oc #art #comic #webcomic #Webtooncanvas #Webtoon

Panel 1 of 4:

Hagatha is stirring a glowing green concotion in her cauldron. Vivian leans into the scene through an open window, peering at Hagatha through green fumes as she asks:

“Hey Hagatha! What’s brewing?”

Hagatha smiles at her and replies “Oh, Vivian, dear! You’re just in time for the finishing touches!”

Panel 2 of 4:

Hagatha’s hands tilt a bowl filled to the brim with an ungodly amount of eyeballs into the cauldron. They land in the green mixture with splooshes and plops.

Vivian, with a shocked yet awed expression exclaims: “Woah! That’s a lot of eyeballs! You must be cooking up one heck of a potion!”

Panel 3 of 4:

Hagatha replies, wagging a finger, “Not a potion, my love! I’m making one of my SPECIAL recipes!”

With her other hand, she is skimming the surface of the cauldron with a cup, catching as many of the eyeballs floating on the surface as she can.

Panel 4 of 4:

Hagatha proudly exclaims the name of her creation: “WITCH BOBA!”

The eyes float at the bottom of the glass of fluorescent green liquid like boba balls.

BONUS COMIC
Panel 1 of 2:

Vivian stares uneasily at the glass of Witch Boba in her hand. She says to herself “It was nice of Hagatha to spare me a glass, but I don’t know if I’ll like this…I’ve only ever had eyeballs baked into muffins.”

A voice from off-screen replies “Oh it’s delicious! Trust me!”

Panel 2 of 2:

Kayra, a character from the webcomic series “Love and Hex” is revealed to be the source of the voice, smiling at Vivian with an empty glass of witch boba in hand as she exclaims:

“I’m about to ask Hagatha for my third glass!” She holds up two of her fingers and her thumb, since she only has four fingers.

Vivian, shocked, replies “KAYRA!? You’re not even from this comic!”

Kayra replies: “And yet I’m here! It’s THAT good!”

Love and Hex #152: Being Bad Charlie currently has a human mind and body, but he's still an owlbear. #comics #webcomic #dnd #ttrpg #loveandhex

Page 152 from the comic Love and Hex.
Charlie, currently magically polymorphed into a burly and wild-looking man but normally an owlbear, stands in a dark room about to eat an enormous roasted leg of fowl. Sassy, a muscle-bound half-orc woman, stands silhouetted in the doorway, taking a seductive pose.

Sassy: "I found you, mister Charlie - Hey! The food's for AFTER the ceremony!"

Charlie: "I'm hungry NOW."

Sassy presses him to the wall and gets in close. Charlie is confused, still holding the roasted leg.

Sassy: "A rebel, are ya? Good thing I like bad boys."

Charlie: "Huh?"

Charlie thinks back to his experience being called a "bad boy": him as a huge owlbear with the dwarf's legs dangling from his mouth, Singing Cricket scolding him: "Charlie! Put down the dwarf! BAD BOY!"

Charlie: "You like... Bad boys?"

Sassy gets in even closer.

Sassy: "Mm-hmm... How about you put down that axebeak leg and show me how bad you are?"

Charlie: "But... It's mine."

Sassy: "I'll rassle you for it."

Charlie tears open his shirt dramatically. Sassy gasps.

Charlie: "All right."

Singing Cricket appears in silhouette in the doorway. "Charlie? Where did you -- CHARLIE!"

Singing Cricket escorts Charlie out the door.
"That is not how civilized people behave in public!"

Sassy, one shoe off and in the midst of taking off the other, blushes with embarrassment. She wanted to rassle.
"Right. Of course it isn't."

Page 150 from the webcomic Love and Hex. Full transcript: https://crookedgoat.ca/comic/150/#comic-page

Tamilda is bored at the wedding because there are no other young folks around, till she finds a cat to befriend.

Tamilda, cosplaying as Misako from the game River City Girls, crosses her arms and glares at the reader. She is promoting the Love and Hex Patreon (https://patreon.com/love_and_hex), saying:
"Hey, there's bonus art and other stuff, y'know. But it's only for patrons. And the book. The comic was drawn to be read on paper. Look for Love and Hex on Amazon."

Language Barrier The fantasy trope that every member of a given species speaks the same language is a bit silly. Co-author credit to my daughter, who came up with the concept. For more of my comics, read "Love and Hex" on Webtoon! #comics #webcomic #dnd #ttrpg #dragons #funny #art #bskyart

Feral Comics #21 by Brandon Weigel.
Panel 1: A trio of human adventurers - a short female rogue with a bow, a male fighter in armour with a sword, and a female mage in a robe with a staff, are in a cave. Sets of red and green dragon talons reach toward them from the camera perspective. The fighter looks afraid, but the mage puts a hand out to stop him.

Fighter: "Look out - Dragons!"
Mage: "Don't worry. I studied Draconic!"

Panel 2: Two huge dragons look menacingly at the trio, while the mage attempts to communicate in a script that looks like the dragon language from Skyrim. Translated, it says, "O mighty dragons, we beseech you allow us safe passage through your territory."

Panel 3: The dragons talk to each other while the human mage goes on. The green dragon looks confused, but the red dragon looks smug and confident. They do not understand the mage. Green dragon: "Humans! What do you suppose they want?" Red dragon: "Don't worry. I studied human."

Panel 4: The humans are puzzled as the red dragon addresses them in Chinese. Translated, it is saying, "Welcome, humans! Please take your boots off when you enter the cave. Would you like a biscuit?"

Love and Hex #149: True Tales from the Tavern A parody of the "True Tales from the Bar" by Bryan Kelly, but also a canonical part of the story. #comics #webcomic #loveandhex #comicstrips #dnd #ttrpg #funny #art #bskyart

Page 149 from the comic Love and Hex.

1. Title card: Love and Hex presents, True Tales from the Tavern. This is a clear tribute to Bryan Kelly's comic, True Tales from the Bar.

The upper half of Tobias the bartender's face looks up at the titles. He wears rectangular glasses and a toque, looking like the sort of hipster guy that doesn't really exist anymore.

2. Shot from behind the bar, over Tobias's shoulder. Hey, he's also wearing a plaid shirt with a scruffy beard. He's from Harbourland. On his counter is a sliced lemon and a knife, and a small chest with eyes and teeth. That's probably a mimic.

Approaching the bar are two customers: Kayra (night hag, disguised as human, young and hot) and Granny Dismal (night hag, disguised as human, ancient and scary). Kayra leans over the bar holds up two fingers.

Kayra: "Two bloody marys, please!"

Granny Dismal: "With extra blood."

3. Tobias starts mixing the drink, pouring liquor into a shaker.

Tobias: "Heh. I actually hear that joke a lot."

The ladies look respectively disappointed and displeased with his response.

4. Granny Dismal's eyes blacken. She points at the knife as a hypnotic aura emanates from her. Tobias and the mimic both follower her finger and look down at the knife.

5. Kayra grins happily as Tobias picks up the knife and holds it over his palm, sweating.

Tobias: "Y-yes, of... of course, ma'am..."

Kayra the young night hag, glamoured to look like a human woman. She has short brown hair swept over one eye (much like her friend Tamilda's, whose older sister she is pretending to be), lots of freckles, and a revealing black dress with a slit leg. She also wears a choker featuring an upside-down pentagram. She clasps her hands, excited to do something insane in tomorrow's comic.

Sassy the half orc, dressed nicely, with even her axe gussied up with ribbons. A link to the Love and Hex Patreon - https://patreon.com/love_and_hex -- heads the image. Sassy speaks:

"It ain't like I've NEVER been on a date. The author did a cute lil' comic about a blind date of mine a while back. There's a bonus panel for that one, on the patreon. ...No, it ain't THAT kinda bonus panel! Not that I'd've minded if it were... Anyway, he's got a book, too. Go buy it."

Something is wrong here; this doesn't look like the usual art style. It looks like it was drawn by Fran Sundblad of "Tiff & Eve" fame. Weird.

1. Tamilda is helping out with Kayra's Potions (not Poisons) stall. She is staring wide-eyed up into the sky. Singing Cricket leans on the stall and advises her. He does not notice a purple tentacle approaching behind him.

Singing Cricket: "Hey kiddo, you shouldn't do that?"

Tamilda: "Hm?"

Singing Cricket: "Staring at the sun is really bad for your eyes."

Tamilda: "Oh, right. I won't."

2. Tamilda continues looking at the sky. Singing Cricket is dragged away, unnoticed. Kayra holds a crate of potions. Among the items hanging from the top of the stall is an annoyed-looking gnome.

Tamilda: "Kayra?"

Kayra: "Yes, sweetie?"

Tamilda: "How long do your potions of True Sight last?"

3. Kayra starts unloading the crate. Tamilda continues staring at the sky. The hanging gnome sticks her tongue out.

Kayra :"An hour or two. I tink. I'm not sure."

Tamilda: "Have you ever tried them?"

Kayra: "Never. Why? What do you see?"

4. The angle changes; we now see Tamilda from behind, and see what she sees. The sun has been replaced by an enormous eye, staring down at her.

Tamilda: "Nothin'."

2: They each present their gifts to the other: Singing Cricket presents a heart-shaped box of chocolates, while Kayra presents what looks like an actual anatomical heart (from some animal or humanoid creature, we don't know).
Singing Cricket: "❤️!"
Kayra: "❤️!"

3: They each hold their gifts and look at them, disappointed or puzzled. The heart drips blood all over Singing Cricket's hands.
Singing Cricket: "?"
Kayra: "?"

4: The pair of them sit on the couch, watching the bugs perform a miniature production of Romeo and Juliet on the coffee table. Singing Cricket eats his chocolates while Kayra, resting her head against his chest, eats her heart.
Singing Cricket and Kayra together: "❤️"

I've been playing River City Girls with my daughter recently, so here's Tamilda in Misako's outfit. #comics #loveandhex #rivercitygirls #fanart #oc #art #comicart #bskyart #videogames

Tamilda, from the comic Love and Hex - a young teen girl with freckles on her cheeks and brown hair in a ponytail. She has a sneer on her face and crossed arms. She's wearing the outfit Misako wears in the River City Girls video game: a white collared shirt with long sleeves; a short red tie; black shorts; green thigh-high socks with white stripes at the top; and a pink backpack. Her sword sticks out the back of the backpack.

Love and Hex #142: Cursed Tamilda has a straightforward and practical way of solving problems. Hey, there's a book available now on Amazon! It already has a 5-star review! #comicstrip #comics #webcomic #loveandhex #witches #frogprince #funny #art #bskyart

Page 142 from the comic Love and Hex.

1. A frog sits, pretty chill, on a lily pad in a swamp. A hand reaches down toward it.

2. Tamilda, with a sword strapped to her back, holds the frog in her hands. Eyes closed, she gives it a kiss, with a big SMOOCH in the background.

3. Tamilda recoils from a big POOF of smoke.

4. A muscular prince, with curly hair, a pencil moustache, a crown, and a long nose, looks at his hands in delighted astonishment.

Prince: "Ye gods - I'm human! With TRUE LOVE'S KISS, my curse of these two hundred years is broken at last!"

5. The prince, who is clad only in crown and boxer shorts with a crown pattern on them, takes Tamilda's hand in both of his and gets down on one knee in the swampy water, among the reeds cattails. Tamilda grins awkwardly and looks away from him.

Prince: "And by such a fair maid! My love, I thiank thee for freeing me with thy sweet kiss. But let us tarry not, lest the witch of these woods discover us! Come, we must make haste to my castle, where we shall be wed anon!"

Tamilda: "Riiight... And where in the woods EXACTLY would that nasty old witch be found?"

Prince: "The hags dwell just over yon hillside. But worry not, my beloved! Our path shall not cross those wyrd sisters."

6. With a smile, Tamilda sprints off in the direction of the forested hill. The prince, confused and distraught, reaches for her. A little frog on a nearby lily pad turns to watch.

Tamilda: "Thanks! We were supposed to meet this morning, and I'm SUPER late. I'd swear the trees here change the paths for fun. I hope I haven't missed dinner!"

Prince: "But - fair maid --"

Tamilda: "Have fun being human!"

7. The prince watches sadly as Tamilda disappears into the hills.

Prince: "But... My one true love..."

8. The prince crouches in the swamp and dips his finger into the water, his eyes downcast. The frog looks at him.

Prince: "Sigh... It was nice, being a frog."

My first book review on Amazon 🥹 (Love and Hex Volume 1 is available there now, if I haven't said that enough times)

A 5-star book review from "S. Hain" posted on Amazon.de.
"Finally in book form!" Reviewed in Germany on 29 January 2026.
Format: Paperback | Verified Purchase

I love the web comic and been reading it for years, buying the actual book version is a no-brainer. If you are into D&D or similar and like dark humor you should buy this immediately, otherwise check it out on the web and buy it then.
