That's it: the final book of the Mind Trilogy is done. I really like the ending. It's a thinker.

In April, I discovered that someone had used my pen-name to publish a work of fantasy. For a while, I didn't know what to do. Worrying about which writer people were going to find when searching for me was making me lose sleep. So. I've chosen to change my pen-name. Say hello to Will Zephyr 👋

For everyone who had 'mushroom kaiju' on your bingo card, well done; you're very smart. This is the final stretch of part 2. Will the passengers and crew make it? And what will they look like on the other side? Read on Tapas or thewildershore.the-comic.org/comics/pl/29... Art by @steveningramart

Is it contagious? Or is it... mustard? Read on Tapas or thewildershore.the-comic.org/comics/pl/28... Updates weekly Art by @steveningramart.bsky.social #webcomic #apocalypse #fungus #mustard #ketchup

Greg the deckhand, armed with a boathook is asking Yannis "Sir? Could you go to the lifeboat please? You appear contagious." Yannis, holding baby Qiu, both covered in yellow and red blotches, replies "Contagious? It's ketchup! And some mustard and brown sauce."

Yannis smiles down at baby Qiu, saying, "Qiu and I were using it to paint, weren't we? I didn't think anyone would miss it as there's nothing much to put it on."

Greg, who is wearing a protective mask, says "I think you'll have to strip, sir - so that we can confirm." Yannis offers a blob of red ketchup on the end of his finger to Greg, saying, "Taste it! That's what she does. She particularly enjoys the spicy mustard."

Helmar holding Shosty the dog, asking for someone to throw them a life ring.

Miriam Steeton looking down from the deck of the ship, telling Helmar that he and the dog are infected. They could turn into the same thing that killed her husband, Jack - and she can't let that happen.

Helmar and shosty in the water. Helmar is protesting that they're fine - they haven't become monsters.

Miriam above, walking away. She tells Helmar that he has two choices: swim to shore and join the fungus, or drown.

Fadi on the floor. Gail is saying that it looks like an acid burn and they should get him to the shower.
