Vanita and the Demon King is still running Friday updates. If you need to catch up on the story, check out the archives.
Panel 1: Wide panel. King, sitting on the floor, leans back on the green couch under the blanket fort. They stare off into the middle distance. King: ...All I want...is to go home. Panel 2: Looking over King’s shoulder, we see Vanita, her expression soft. Vanita: ...Back to the Pit? King nods. Panels 3 and 4 are stacked on top of each other, and show Vanita reach her hand out to hold King’s hand. Panel 5: King is snapped from their trance. Panel 6: Vanita, holding King’s hand, smiles timidly. Vanita: A lot of magic may be lost, but…
Hey, I know things in the big picture have been hard. (I know I have colleagues in Minnesota who have been breaking my heart with the reporting they’ve been doing on the front lines.) If there’s any one thing that’s been helping during this hard time, it’s the takeaway from this post from The White Pages.
Which is, during this time, what is your heart calling out to do? Lately, my heart has been calling to check in with my friend groups, make soup for my people, and run a coat drive for the unhoused folks in my area.
Maybe your heart wants to talk to your neighbors. Or help folks on the front lines. Or participate or lead a fundraiser of some sort. Or maybe your heart is so tired it just wants to be under the blankets. However your heart beats, you are valid. These are hard times, but I’m glad you’re still here with us.
And you are still awesome. <3
Basho leans over Norsa, grinning. Norsa is also smiling mischievously. Basho: Oh is THAT how we’re doing this? Norsa: Heh.
...That’s how we’re doing *what*, Mister Basho?
Plus, Vanita and the Demon King opening 2026 with a flashback to a call for revolution? How totally not planned.
And here are some of my favorite sketches from CATS: The Sketchbook!
Club members, I mailed out your rewards! Check your mailboxes for your goodies. (I did forget a sticker in the bundles, so next month I’ll get those stickers in.)
Also, The Legend of Jamie Roberts, volume 3’s KickStarter is NOW FULFILLED!
By the way, I’m not available for commissions for a bit – the new job is getting in full swing on Monday. The Ko-fi shop will still remain open, though!

SIGNAL BOOST!
Thin Slice is a new micro-zine from Nash High! A micro-zine is a teeny tiny zine, and this one features photographs and collage. It’s free to download and comes with folding instructions to boot!
Growing Up On the Spectrum is a comic that’s part memoir, part education, all about autism – and it reached its funding goal on KickStarter! In an era where autism is so misunderstood, it’s great to see indie folks like Oneshi Press support autistic creators like Tess. Be sure to check this out!
Dragon Grit, volume 1 is also on KickStarter. It’s got dragons! And cowboys!
Also, maybe you have seen this floating around online, maybe you haven’t – the idea of having whistles on hand for ICE alerts. Lately I’ve been chatting with some folks, and they had these suggestions:
If you can’t get your hands on a whistle, any kind of noise maker will do. Irish resisters often used trash can lids to make noise and sound the alarm for their neighbors. And someone in DC made the excellent recommendation of...kazoos.
So I know what I’m getting!
That’s all for now...
