I was chuckling my way through the driving scene… but admittedly the part where it fell from moon-gazing height back onto a road… and was perfectly fine… took me out of the scene a bit.
I don’t think Katherine will be happy about what Castela did to her (old‹?*›) car
I couldn’t help noticing that the car is not only set up for being driven on the left side of the road (from the perspective of people sitting in the front seats ~ like the driver), its plate(s**) was(/were) ^definitely^ non US !
〰️〰️〰️
*I don’t know if Katherine ^gave^ said old car to her daughter(s) or it is/was on loan to Castela.
Castella is really coming into her Blackthorn powers now. At first it was just blasts but since the MIB tower incident she has really gotten her portals under control. And What is with the levitating sphere – a new ability that has not been shown in the strip yet?
Paul, this was a nice short! Castella getting jumpy and blowing something up was almost unavoidable. 🙂 If you get a chance, you might tweak the audio mix for the very first segment. I found it hard to make out what Cas and Shawna said over the roaring engine and squealing tires. It should be possible to “duck” the car tracks during voice lines without reducing their overall levels.
This is truly wonderful and worth the wait! I think every video you do just gets better and better. I’m sure they take a really long time to do, so thank you and everyone else who goes into working on them.
This is fantastic; you’re getting better and better, and the voice actresses you chose did an absolutely great job!
That car has (well … had) some sort of super-powered suspension to be able to survive that fall and keep going. Um … Castela’s going to get in trouble for destroying her mom’s car, isn’t she?
I thought Castela wasn’t supposed to open any more portals unless it was a matter of life and death? On the other hand, it kind of was a matter of life and death, considering they were about to crash on the rocks. I suppose if she’s making portals far away from any Grid anchors, she can’t fry their cooling towers. But then, aren’t the anchors in the Demon Realm now? So maybe that’s not an issue anymore.
It was cool to see what Shawna can do! We knew she was a pixie, but we didn’t really know what pixies were in the Wapsiverse (other than having six eyes and some sort of antennae). Apparently she’s got moth wings and can control their patterns to the point of showing shifting images on them. And she can levitate herself and nearby people.
I still love the irony that Castela’s one of the most powerful beings in the known multiverse but is afraid of ghosts, which may not even actually exist. Although what are we seeing here? Castela’s imagination? Can Shawna make illusions? Is this Conscience’s doing? Is there some sort of stone tape phenomenon here? Actual ghosts/entities crossing over from the Spirit Realm? What?
I wasn’t nearly as surprised by the impressive suspension as by the fact that Castela had a right hand drive car. Those aren’t exactly common in Minneapolis. And now they’re a little rarer…
So she is driving on the wrong side of the road, since in the video Pickle is driving on the right side of the road but in reality the Brits drive on the left side.
Yes, that’s why asked if they were driving on the wrong side (on the right)
One way to tell: the driver is always on the traffic side of the road (ie closest to the vehicles coming from the opposite direction) Left hand drive is for right-hand roads
Really amazing work. As usual with you, totally immersive and leaving the viewer wanting more. 🙂
Merry Christmas to you and your family and a peaceful & prosperous New Year to all of you.
I take great delight in your Patreon sketches. Maybe not as much as the continuity strip, but pretty close. Rest, keep up the good work, wouldn’t mind seeing another sketch of Tina among them, but that’s your call.
Way to go. But tell Castela not to jump her next car like that: it just ruins the structural integrity.

Totally adorable, Paul. What a lot of work!
Very well done! Worth the wait!
Oh my dog! This was fantastic! They were out at the gate and I was just thinking; “well, at least Cas didn’t blow up the cemetery!” ROFLMAO
She exhibited her usual degree of fine control. She destroyed the car, but left the city out on the horizon behind it completely intact.
I just loved seeing Conscience¡
Was that Shelly she was talking to at the end (after the credits)?
Castella’s girlfriend (I forgot her name) was ^obviously^ not wearing a bra. 《eyeroll》
I don’t know ^how^ I could’ve forgotten. 《grimace》Her name is Shawna !
Actually, she was, it was pink, just not one from the Ninja Bra-squad
That B·M·W appears to be the SAME car that Castela’s mom, Katherin, used to drive !
The car appears to be British market 1970’s Triumph 1500 or Triumph Telodo. I think the only time we saw Kath in a car it was a Volvo 240/260.

**At least the one on the ^front^ bumper..
Ready to make comics again?
Well done! A good story and a fun ending. Looking forward to more, both comics and animation.

That wasn’t Castela’s doing《eyeroll》
That was Shawna!!
Aaaahahaha!
Seriously, why is an Elder God freaked out by ghost stories?
Sure, she thinks she’s a teenage girl, but even as such she’s blown holes in mountains!
I’d expect her to be coming to terms with her power by now.

Magnificent…

They’re in the UK, thus the right hand drive. =)
Were they driving on the wrong side of the road due to Stela being a bad driver?
They’re in the UK.

I didn’t know the NSU was a right-hand drive… Or capable of teleportation!
Where did the Gilchrist’s get a British car?
…And where will they get one to replace it?
Really amazing work. As usual with you, totally immersive and leaving the viewer wanting more. 🙂
Merry Christmas to you and your family and a peaceful & prosperous New Year to all of you.
My first thought: Sound remix needs a bit of adjustment. Music is drowning out the dialogue.
(unpauses and continues watching)
Poor car. At least it doesn’t have to suffer through her driving any more.
↑This↑
Merry Christmas, anybody who’s out there.
And a Joyous New Year to anyone who has made it this far
My being a Goth means NOT being scared of batshit driving, the supernatural… OR of haunted cemeteries!
I like the animations but will there be a return to the comic proper?
Yes, Wapsi Square will continue. I’m just not sure when.
I take great delight in your Patreon sketches. Maybe not as much as the continuity strip, but pretty close. Rest, keep up the good work, wouldn’t mind seeing another sketch of Tina among them, but that’s your call.
Friendly reminder that your most recent comic was July 20, 2022
Oh come on – he adressed that exact topic just two posts up from yours… :/
Excellent work!
Eagerly await the comics return! you are an awesome artist. But I understand that life has a way of making things difficult.
Amazing work, very well done!
As I was watching the reaction of Shawna, and her body, to that 《eyeroll》thrilling《eyeroll》 car·ride Castella gave her, I couldn’t help but this song
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hisOis9vSqY
Although it does seem t’be extremely unlikely that the sentiment expressed in that song would be b>anywhere on her mind
Is it just me, or is there some kind of weird dom-sub thing going on with Shawna, Castella, and fear?
Bridge!? We dont need no stinking bridge!!
