A new chapter has begun! Welcome to Chapter 4: The Stolen Child. The chapter takes its title from an old poem of the same name by WB Yeats on the habit of faeries carrying off children to the Otherworld, sometimes[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
Thus closes the third chapter of this story. The scene depicted here is near an intersection on East Broadway in Portland, OR, where I lived for three years while developing and drawing this webcomic. The setting for our story is[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
