An estranged lover meets an estranged lover, and together they solve a mystery that has been plaguing Blackwood for some time.

The stunning conclusion to the Blackwood Chronicles!

And while this story does stand alone, a clever ghost might read Edithe Zilonis and Soul Thief beforehand. . .

An undertaker meets a dead woman who is more alive than most of the living.

A (mostly) illustrated story involving a very mysterious murder, ghostly romance and spirits possessing --- the dead?

Let's not worry ourselves with the details. This is Blackwood, after all.

UPDATE 11/9/19: Housekeeping and an added Bonus Update Epilogue. All your questions will be answered in time. Enjoy!

UPDATE 3/13/20: New, better art (finally!) The original art looked like it was hastily drawn in twenty minutes as if I was completely over this story by the time for illustrations came. (You all can tell me when my art sucks, sheesh!) Enjoy!

The Gods discover a soul thief among humans.

A story about an ethereal romance and an otherworldly mystery.

I was wondering what those words on my hand meant. . .

How fun! :~)

I need new material guys I can only make the same joke so many times . . .

I'm afraid you've gone mad. Positively bonkers, even!

Oh --- I just read the gun! ;~P

I was too late!

Link!

I'm not sure about the mystery judge. She's probably someone who is witty and pretty and totally tall.

But here is what happened at the judges' stand (pretty much.)

And here's the actually good comic I had drawn beforehand. :~)

Congrats to you all!

(Looks like my whale is swimming the other way than all the rest!)

I rediscovered my Rockwell drawing folder and realized that I never got to show off his redesign! I also really wanted to give him some sort of ending so he no longer had to float in a paused void of time where nothing had been resolved.

I had a rough plan of Rockwell Balsamo, Hamster Chef Extraordinaire.

Firstly, I had to make him adorable. That was Step Zero: create an adorable character that was easy to draw and color many, many times.

It would be easy to gain popularity and points, and that was especially important since Rockwell was just a mediocre chef at best.

Step One: Rockwell wins Chopped (probably.)

Due to my obsessive point-counting and trying to play to the judges (and audience) at every turn, Rockwell manages to win the game, bringing him mass fame and fortune.

Step Two: charm the rest of the world with those hamster charms and killer cuteness as a now renowned chef. Rockwell would go on to speak on talk shows and the news and soon everyone would be positively wrapped around his little paw (had they not been already.)

Step Three and finally: Something something something. . . Rockwell enslaves the world!

It was true that Rockwell's wife and children were mercilessly consumed by an evil, evil snake. But had it not been for humans selling hamsters in cages at pet stores, none of this would have happened at all. So ultimately Rockwell absolutely loathed humans, but he hid it behind the guise of snake-hatred and a totally false affection towards humans! It pained Rockwell every time he had to use his sad eyes.

And while world domination was peachy, it could never bring back his wife or children, which genuinely pained him. But it wasn't too bad either. ;~)
