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?"

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."

You were right - Kayra does love eyeballs. Thanks for giving her a tasty snack!

Kayra, a green-skinned witch monster with pointy ears, pointy teeth, and huge black eyes, gazes into a swirling orb. She is lying in bed in lingerie with her legs up, snacking on a bowl of eyeballs.

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."

Love and Hex #150: A New Friend Alone and bored at the wedding, Tamilda finds a new friend. (I swear I did not plan for this story arc to begin during #Pride month..) #comics #webcomic #art #funny #cute #bskyart

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..."

I am really quite pleased with Kayra's human disguise here. She's cute and looks like she could be Tamilda's older sister. She is excited because she is about to do something utterly ridiculous. (You'll see what that is tomorrow if I remember to post.) #art #comics #loveandhex #oc

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.

Love and Hex #146: The Bridesmaid Sassy first appeared a few years ago in a one-off comic called "Goblin's First Date".. I guess that's canon now. #comics #webcomic #loveandhex #art #dnd #ttrpg #bskyart

Page 146 from the comic Love and Hex. Full transcript: https://crookedgoat.ca/comic/146/#comic-page

Sassy, Changeling-Kayra's half-orc friend, is there to support the bride as she prepares for the wedding, but she doesn't do a great job of it.

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'."

Tamilda angrily looks down with her hands out. "I'm gonna do it!"

Kayra, looking concerned and trying to stop her: "No, Tamilda! I know we want the comic to appeal to kids, but there must be another way --"

A special Valentine's Day comic from Love and Hex, depicting Singing Cricket (bald Drunken Master monk who always wears his martial arts robes) and Kayra (green-skinned, red-haired young night hag who is much more attractive than she'd like to be, wearing a little black dress).

1: Singing Cricket and Kayra approach each other with their hands behind their backs.
Singing Cricket: "❤️"
Kayra: "❤️"

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: "❤️"

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."

First Responders A lil' comic expressing appreciation for regular commenters. Y'all provide a lot of motivation for artists. #comics #webcomic #art #reddit #firstresponders #funny #bskyart

1. A man sits in a casual pose in an office chair, wearing heavy boots, a red t-shirt, and suspenders on hi-vis pants. Behind him on a hook are a firefighter's coat and helmet. A large alert light is on the wall. Nearby is a desk with a laptop open to a blurry website (Reddit). Under the desk, a black cat sticks its tongue out. The man speaks: "Yeah, I'm a first responder. I see all kinds of stuff out there."

2. The light starts flashing, and a loud BEEP BEEP alerts the man to an emergency. He looks up at the light, a worried look on his face. "Whoops! Speaking of which..."

3. A close-up of the man's laptop, his fingers poised over the keyboard. On the screen is r/comics, showing "NEW r/Comics post" with four panels (depcitingg Loss in its most simplistic form, with only lines). An alert overlays the screen: "COMMENT SUBMITTED"

4. Back to the relaxed pose, the scene is identical to the first panel. "It's a tough job, but it feels good to know I'm making a difference."

Page 139 from the comic Love and Hex. Full transcript will be available at https://crookedgoat.ca when I get a chance to update that site..

Danna and Amanda from The Astral Diaries bring a gift to Singing Cricket. Kayra offers them a token in return, but there's more to it than they're expecting. In the meantime, perhaps the girls grow a little bit closer...?

1. Two girls, Danna and Amanda, bring a misdelivered package to Singing Cricket. He and Kayra open the door, clearly in the middle of something, judging by Kayra's sexy Santa outfit and drink, and Singing Cricket's lack of a shirt.

Kayra: "Oh! The house didn't eat you. Hello!"
Amanada: "Uh, hi! We think this belongs to you?"
Singing Cricket: "Ooh!"

2. Kayra leads the girls inside while Singing Cricket opens his package. A tag falls off: "From Granny". Amanda looks around at the strange signs in the house.

Kayra: "You brought my husband a present! How sweet."
Danna: "It was just misdelivered."

3. In the background, Singing Cricket is attacked by the present -- it's a mimic. Amanda watches with interest. Kayra digs around in a chest, bending over. Danna watches with interest.

Singing Cricket: "Aargh! Not again!"
Kayra: "Even so, you deserve something too!"

4. Kayra offers the girls a large, shining jewel. The girls reach out to touch it.

Kayra: "I found a pile of these behind the house."
Amanda: "Ooh!"
Kayra: "Take it. We have lots!"

5. The girls leave. Amanda waves goodbye at Kayra, who stands at the door and waves back. Singing Cricket continues wrestling with the mimic. The girls are both holding the jewel, their hands touching.

Amanda: "Bye! Thank you!"
Danna: "It's sticky."

6. Close-up on the girls' hands, and the jewel. They are nearly holding hands, with the jewel between. An eye opens on the jewel, looking up at Danna.

Danna: "Amanda, I don't think I can let go."
Amanda: "That's all right."

How to be popular (Love and Hex) It's a good idea to ask questions before drinking something a hag brewed up. More comics: www.webtoons.com/en/canvas/lo... #loveandhex #comics #webcomic #funny #witches #potion #art #bskyart

A four-panel "Love and Hex" comic.
Singing Cricket, a retired adventurer, approaches Kayra, a young and (to her dismay) attractive hag. Kayra is stirring a cauldron of bubbling green liquid.
SC: "Hey babe, what's cooking?"
K: "We don't have a lot of readers, so I'm brewing a potion to make us more popular!"

Singing Cricket dips his glass into the cauldron and takes a swig, to Kayra's protests.
SC: "Let's have a taste!"
K: "Wait, husband, that's not for you--"

With a BOING, from Singing Cricket's chest erupt a pair of enormous breasts. Just some seriously honkin' knockers. He is surprised by this.

Kayra pulls out a book and starts leafing through it. "I'll find a recipe to reverse it."
Singing Cricket gives his new boobs a squeeze and replies, "Take your time."

Frieren and Stimpy. Pun was in my head and wouldn't leave till I drew it. Yes it's dumb, no I won't apologize. #art #cartoon #frieren #bskyart

Cartoon characters Ren (right) and Stimpy (left), dressed as Frieren and Fern respectively. Really it might make more sense for Ren to be Fern since Fern is always having to deal with Frieren's antics, but then there wouldn't be a pun.

If you are surprised that Tamilda might be queer, then you couldn't have invested THAT much into the comic. And if you think that the existence of a queer character is a reason to stop reading, I welcome your departure.

A Webtoon comment on today's episode, from a user called Mr. Grins:
"...and now she's gay (out of literally no where). What a waist of investment in this comic."

Love and Hex #135: Big Decisions Tamilda has always resisted being sent to school. Very strange. What could she possibly be thinking? #comic #webcomic #art #dnd #ttrpg #monstergirl #tiefling #loveandhex #bskyart #comics

Page 135 from the comic Love and Hex. Full transcript: http://crookedgoat.ca/comic/big-decisions

Tamilda and Singing Cricket discuss the Changeling's wedding plans, till Tamilda gets distracted for some reason. Even more strangely, she makes a major out-of-character decision. How odd.

Love and Hex Halloween bonus: Couple's costume I didn't initially have a Halloween comic idea, but inspiration struck at the last minute. More Love and Hex on Webtoon: www.webtoons.com/en/canvas/lo... #comics #webcomic #loveandhex #monstergirl #harleyquinn #joker #halloween #art #bskyart

Singing Cricket and Kayra from the comic Love and Hex, dressed as the Joker (white skin, purple suit, green shirt) and Harley Quinn (motley crop top, booty shorts, stockings, baseball bat, blonde hair with dyed tips).

Singing Cricket, doing up his tie: "I'm surprised you went with Harley and not Poison Ivy."

Kayra: "Why's that?"

Singing Cricket: "You know... green skin..."

Kayra: "Husband, that is a LITTLE offensive."

Love and Hacks, part 4 of 4 Posting my lil' Halloween miniseries for spooky week. More Love and Hex: www.webtoons.com/en/canvas/lo... #halloween #comic #comics #webcomic #loveandhex #slasher #jason #horror #dnd #ttrpg #monsters #art

A bonus page from the comic Love and Hex. A shirtless slasher (looks like Jason Voorhees of the Friday the 13th movies) flees Nanny Muk's cottage in a panic. From inside, Nanny says, "All right, dearie, now it's your turn..."

The house comes alive. Its front wall turns into a huge mouth full of pointy teeth. Its enormous tongue reaches out and lifts the slasher to eat him. From inside, Nanny continues: "Calvin, darling -- did you see where our guest ran off to?"

The house chews on its victim as Nanny continues, "Never mind... I'm sure he'll turn up again."

In the background, a tree chases after a raccoon, only to be swarmed by the raccoon's friends in the final panel.
