Hello all! Since it's been a week or so now, I'd like to say a few things real quickly about Weird Sisters as a story:

I started this comic last October after having a bad breakdown and tearing an unfinished, massive, and very emotionally hard-to-work-on piece off the wall of my studio. I was stressed out and in a near-constant state of panic and I kind of just said "fuck it, I don't want to do Fine Arts with big Deeper Hidden Meaning shit, I'm gonna make something meaningless and self-indulgent," and it's turned into something really wonderful and fun that means QUITE a lot to me now.

Having made it a whole year without giving up on it or getting bored, I'm fully confident in its continued existence now that I'm willing to put a LOT more energy into making it even better than it already is.

Weird Sisters has grown from a mostly-plotless shenanigans-of-the-week comic about a trio of witches goofing around on a college campus into a Really Big Story that's kind of only just beginning. It takes its inspiration from all over the place: modern witchcraft practices being a big one, but Shakespeare being another just as big. Somewhere in here, a plot began to form around the idea that if all the women in Shakespeare's tragedies had had just one other girl around to talk to, confide in, rely on, maybe they would've survived long enough to stand up to the problems in their respective plays. Combined with the miscommunication/secret keeping-as-plot-device elements present in Shakespeare's comedies (and I do to some extent still consider Weird Sisters a comedy, even if it's definitely taking a turn for the spooky), as well as the magical realism and often realer-than-we-think magic inspired by several of his plays, some really interesting storylines are about to begin to unfold as this comic progresses into year two.

That’s a wrap on chapter one, and it’s officially the ONE YEAR ANNIVERSARY OF WEIRD SISTERS TODAY!! Thank you to everyone for sticking with me this long, I love you all so much.
