I’m working on a new project…or maybe a new version of the same project! I’m very excited about what I’ve done so far and can’t wait to finalize everything.
Even though the updates have stopped, I haven’t! I’m still drawing and practicing and creating stuff, which I’ll share with you here and there.
(and yes, I’ll fix those last two strips as soon as I can!)

Greetings and Merry Christmas! Happy Holidays! Or just plain Happy December 25th for those that don’t celebrate.
Thank you all for reading along with Life’s a Witch! I’m going to make a few changes for New Year… hopefully to step up my game a bit. While I have some ideas of my own, I sure would like to know what you would like to see. So:
Is there anything you’d like to see different in the comic?
A story you’d like to explore?
More gags? More Stories?
A facebook friend suggested doing the adventures of the gang in the early days, like in school or when they all first met… What do you think of that?
Bring more magic into the strip? Learn more about the magic of the world of Life’s a Witch?
What are your ideas?

It’s been a rough Thanksgiving here at the witch hovel! We all got sick and/or are recovering from being sick. Of course, yours truly couldn’t get the recovering thing down. A visit to the doctor revealed bronchitis and possible pneumonia.
I have to take it easy for a couple more days, and since I don’t work on the comic in advance, that means that there will be no comics this week. I hope to be good and rested by next week, when I return with comics so stunningly great that you will say, “WOW! She should get sick more often!”
In the meantime, if you need a fun comic fix, please check out the other comics in the Spiderforest network by using the navigation bar at the top of this page, or checking out the other fun comics I have listed in the blogroll in the right margin.

You know you wanted a close up of Hydesquirrel after seeing him in last Tuesday’s comic. Don’t deny it!

This is one of those characters that surprised me by becoming a fan favorite. The entire strip was done the current standard way: sketched and inked in Manga Studio, colored in Photoshop.

Dale suggested that I draw Tina as the dentist from “Little Shop of Horrors”… Hmmm. The dentist (Orin) was abusive to Audrey I and enjoyed inflicting pain. I think I’ve shown Tina’s mad glee at doing dental work, don’t you?

Lookout, shes coming for that tooth!
This was done digitally in Manga Studio. Playing around with the brushes and effects… fun!
