That may be the last time anyone throws a party for Watusi! Or at least buys a cake for one…
That may be the last time anyone throws a party for Watusi! Or at least buys a cake for one…
… although maybe “nightmare” is more appropriate …
A big thank you to everyone who stopped and chatted with me during last weekend’s Memphis Comic Expo (check out these great photos from the con by my table neighbor Brandt Hardin)! If your first taste of Watusi has encouraged you to check out more, welcome! Feel free to browse the archives– a lot has happened since the “Emerald Serpent” storyline!
Wait, is that who it looks like?!? Really? Well, it’s about time!!!
It’s kinda hard to tell from here, but does Watusi look a little… different? I guess we’ll find out next episode…
In the mean time, I’ve got some other Watusi news that I’m pretty excited to share– get the details here.
Boy, I sure hope Watusi somehow returns soon … because if not, this would be the perfect way to end this strip, wouldn’t it?
A special thanks to Mike Sullivan for rounding out my batch of guest cameos with his Infinity Five members! They can be hard to catch in action, but the best place might be in Virtual Infinity Comics Presents #1 … or in “There’s Something Happening in Crawford, Kansas”— soon to be remastered for release on Patreon. Thanks, Mike!
Hopefully Emmett can come up with something nicer to say about Watusi than Irene thinks he will! This episode is eerily bringing the strip full circle: not only is Watusi’s first major supporting character from this webcomic making a return, but there’s also a snippet from my very first Watusi comic, from way back in the year 2000!
A special thanks to Brian and Skywalker Payne, who made the trip to Wonder Valley all the way from Alaska! Brian writes and draws Zinc Comics, and Skywalker writes and tells stories at Skywalker Storyteller Works. Also on hand is Kel Crum‘s Cornelia Dodson. Thanks for taking part in this memorial service for Watusi– more guests on tap next time!
I can’t tell if the look on my face is me staring at Missus Moses’ hat, or realizing I don’t know what I’ll do without Watusi!
A special thanks to Keith O’Brien, Tom Cherry, and Brien Wayne Powell for allowing their respective characters Samurai Slate, Arlo Wazzo, and Magnet Man to make the trip to Wonder Valley for Watusi’s memorial service. Look for more guests in the weeks to come!
More familiar faces– and moments of levity, believe it or not– to come…
… and that brings “The Case of the Purloined Pocketwatch” to its conclusion! Thanks for sticking around for this long storyline; if you’d like to hear some behind-the-scenes thoughts on what I learned from writing a mystery story, check out my Smeary Soapbox Press-ents blog post on the subject!
Come back next week for the start of a super-short storyline. I think it will be a pleasant surprise for you!
Tip of the hat to Columbo, of course. And there really is one more thing to close “The Case of the Purloined Pocketwatch”: next episode’s coda!
Guess all things must come to an end … but can Watusi really let it go? Find out next episode!
And while you’re waiting for that, be sure to check out my just-posted “20 questions” interview with Watusi contributor and all-around creative genius, Tom Cherry!
