“His hands were invariably blotted with ink and stained with chemicals, yet he was possessed of extraordinary delicacy of touch, as I frequently had occasion to observe.”

The key characteristic of Holmes and Watson is how judgemental they are. Judging other people is their favourite pastime. Judging each other is their love language. Aloud or silently, openly or passive-agressively, publicly or privately, together or separately, they're judging everything and everyone. You exist? They're judging you.

📚Watson's Sketchbook PREORDER!📚

Hello! In response to ~unprecedented levels of demand~ for print versions of Watson's Sketchbook Volume 1, I'm doing another print run, and will be opening preorders here on MONDAY, NOVEMBER 11, at 9:00am PST/12:00 noon EST/5:00pm GMT.

DETAILS:

-This run is much larger than the two previous ones, but still limited, so being prompt is a good idea. Last time it sold out in 2 minutes, I do not think that will happen this time, but...early bird, etc.

-They will take a bit longer to arrive than previous orders, but should arrive for everyone by the end of January 2025, print- and shipping-gods willing. Thanks in advance for your patience, as I'm working with a small press printer and a small local distributor.

-If your address changes before the book ships, you can always send a message to the shop to update it. In general, any messages or questions about shipping should be sent there rather than by reaching out to me on here.

-I'm really hoping this run is large enough so that everyone who wants one can get it! Thank you always for your support of this ridiculous project that has consumed my life (positive) and for your support of independent art and queer art!

tomorrow by the way!

Getting a few questions along these lines!

For ebooks: it's something I'm considering; my history as an indie cartoonist means I have a fondness for print media and making physical books, but I know that's not everyone's preference/it's not financially feasible. Right now I'm thinking that if demand for print books continues to be higher than I can comfortably manage, I will put out an ebook.

For box sets/more volumes: The annoying answer is that I intend to keep this as a passion project for myself (unless an interested editor comes along and wants to help with traditional publishing 👀) which means that I need to take it at its own pace and see how it evolves. So I can't commit to how many volumes there will be or when they will be available - sorry!!!

The comic will ALWAYS be free to read here and on my newsletter and I appreciate the support so much!

Preorders opening here in 15 minutes (9:00am PST/12:00 noon EST/5:00pm GMT)

Aaaand preorders are live! This is a much larger batch than before but still limited just fyi!

When the yaoi so fire they have a memorializing plaque

Fun little concept,,, John, Sherlock and Mary if they had all met in S1 instead.

THE BLUE CARBUNCLE part 4 - part 1 - part 2 - part 3 - the end of this chapter. I was extremely grateful to be able to throw myself into drawing today, and I rushed to get it done because I know many of us are having a shitty time right now. I hope this can bring a little comfort or distraction. Watch out for each other and yourselves, my friends, and don't let them steal your joy.

The Blanched Soldier is next if you'd like to read along. This is in the Watson's Sketchbook series!

🎃  it spooky season  🎃

THE BLUE CARBUNCLE - part two - part 1 here - reference is made to the events of Christmas Eve. I suggest reading the original story so you can see how this one is diverging from canon :)

How cool is this - I found a site that overlays 19th century maps onto modern day google maps - really cool to pretend to be Mr. Holmes poring over giant maps of London!

(this is the Watson's Sketchbook series!)

CHRISTMAS EVE, 1890 - part 3 - part 1 - part 2 - bit of a cliffhanger on this one - Watson's Sketchbook will return with THE BLUE CARBUNCLE!

SHERLOCK HOLMES (1984-1994) ♦︎ 40th Anniversary ♦︎

Thinking about what Sherlock said in the first part of Shoscombe Old Place, “Remarkable thing. To see this trickle through the country side knowing what he’ll become. Journey. Growth, and finally lost to much deeper complex waters. Unrecognizable in the homogeny.”

I know he was talking about the Thames but by the end of the adventure I realized it was a metaphor for Watson. God I love this show
