#balderdash!

I read a lot of webcomics (although never enough). I recommend them individually sometimes, but thought it might be worth it to have a list of recs for different moods/kinds of comics people might be looking for :D

NB: I am not current on all of these webcomics; some of them I may be far behind on.

If at least one person doesn’t wield a sword, what even is the Point?

Awaken — Piras Dameschi, an impulsive redheaded rich kid on track to become a knight of Nova, instead finds himself joining a terrorist group that uses flux to fight abominations

Namesake — Emma Crewe is plunged into a world of magic when she discovers that she is a namesake: a person with the power to travel between magical worlds we know from myths and folktales. Meanwhile, back on Earth, her sister Elaine discovers her powers as a Writer to bring stories to life.

Nimona [Complete] — a young girl with shapeshifting powers becomes a villain’s apprentice. Nimona is no longer fully available for free online, but you can read the first three chapters as a preview before deciding if you would like to purchase a copy

Cucumber Quest — Cucumber is reluctantly the hero destined to defeat the Nightmare Knight and his henchmen. Almond, his much more adventure-happy sister, takes the lead on their quest.

Paranatural — bust a gut laughing at Zack Morrison’s flawless humor in this comic about a group of children taking on ghosts, spirits, shadowy organizations, and the horrors of middle school. [Full rec post here]

Agents of the Realm — a diverse group of college women become magical girls

I’m gay and would like some Soft Gay Content™ about people loving and supporting each other

Beyond the Canopy — a young Sprigg named Glenn, searching for adventure, finds himself caught up in a struggle over an artifact known as the Forest Remnant, fighting and fleeing from skeletons, scarecrows, patchwork creatures, and more

I am best entertained by the thrill of nightmare fuel, angst, and existential dread

The Boy Who Fell — Undertale meets Hunger Games in hell. Ren, a shy and quiet human, falls into hell and must fight in a dangerous tournament for the chance to go home

Wilde Life — Oscar Wilde moves to Podunk, Oklahoma, where his new housemate is the ghost of a 1940s mathematician, a werewolf turns up at his door, and he befriends a witch

I like fantasy/sci-fi but I’m tired of massive end-of-the-world battles

Aerial Magic — follows the daily life of a newly apprenticed witch

Wilde Life — see above

Balderdash! or, a tale of two witches — see above

Monsterkind — Wallace Foster is a human social worker trying his best to help the monster inhabitants of District C

balderdash! or, a tale of two witches, when Georgie & Afia meet.

while Georgie pursues her dream of making cakes (without magic!) under the baker Fausto, Afia leaves her academic life behind in search of the greater mysteries of magic abroad. during their stay in the unsuspecting riverside town Löffel, Georgie & Afia stumble upon long unaddressed community tensions and witness an event that changes their lives, and the very world itself, forever.

It’s my friend’s birthday today, so I drew the two main characters from her webcomic “Balderdash!” And a Goog! If you like adorable witches, beautiful colors, and a great story, go check it out! Happy birthday @googtown!

Some older (and newer) art and fanart from twitter, mostly characters by other friends.

The first is “Balderdash”, by @googtown, and it tells the story of two witches, Afia and Georgie, and their own quests, eventually meeting their paths in a charming little town. I won’t say anything but how much I love the coloring, the designs, and the characters themselves, they’re quite endearing! You can read it here and it’s currently on a tiny hiatus so you can catch up easily :3

The other one is “Unfamiliar”, by @lavendertowne, starring little witch Planchette moving in a new house in a big magical city, but the big deal turns out to be a haunted house! Will she manage to send the unwanted roomates away with the help of some new friends? :D The super cute cartoon style and the peculiar limited palette makes this funny comic quite lovely, I recommend it! You can read it on tapastic :3 I even made a little pixel thing with Planchette because she’s so adorable! 

WELCOME TO GOOG TOWN!

I had forgotten to post about it here, but I’ve opened up a balderdash! and goog store on tictail! I have sparkly character cards/bookmarks, Googie pins, goog stickers, & two riso-printed balderdash! zines available up on the site.
