Before anyone start: yes he is dead DEAD. No, he won’t come back.

I may be a bit biased (I wrote and draw this comics during eight years after all) but I think this is the most beautiful proof of love in their… er… relationship.

Don’t worry, the tears of blood are.. er… normal for lack of a better word.

What Naima doesn’t say is that this situation is the best outcome out of all the possibilities.
They did well on that one: Nobody died!
…
Well, nobody is deader than they should be…

Between the one who doesn’t say a word and the one who speak in riddles, Trez is done with the two sisters.

Yeah.
That was subtle.
Good job, Baron.

He could have walk in calmly and thoroughly explain the situations to the villagers, but: No time.

The Baron know everything, see everything, hear everything ! (also, I forgot to justify that part in the script, ok?)

You will notice the Baron is a perfect gentleman as soon there is a young lady in the vicinity.
Yes, his wife know.

Easy, easy, you needed to have the right doll on hand !

One of the hardest things I had to balance when I was writing Here Be Voodoo was Naima and Sadiah’s limitations of powers.

If Naima would have been able to see the past and future without the limit of her memory and trance, and if Sadiah could talk to any dead wherever she was, the story would have only last a few pages.

I think I already mentioned Viviane had an unholy character?

Yeah, well, Sunday being the worthy daughter of her parents is precisely the point of the comics.

The difference in body language between Viviane and Sadiah was very fun to draw XD

The relationship between Viviane and the Witcher was even more toxic than Ulf and Guilemma’s…
But I didn’t trust my skills to depict it in more details (also, I’m aro ace, (fictitious ) toxic love relationships just feel so illogical to me ^^; )

Don’t worry : She is fine.

Did you miss them?
I did !
As a reminder, left to right: Talkative, Teddy, back to us is Peepers, one of Talkative ‘sister’, then Strawberry and Monkeysock, Deafpot, Talkative other ‘sister’ and finally, Noleg.

Yeah, no, I’m on Trez’s side on that one…

Listen, Eshu, for her defense, she kinda had her mind elsewhere the last few hours…
Also, just wait till she realize was this mean about you and her.

Finally, someone is able to explain morality to Sunday.

He may not have the time to good into the finer details, though…

Eshu is already thinking of his next escape.

Fail on that one.

Yup, and even from her, that was NOT a good idea.

Whis is not overly impressed by the dolls.

Not even a little.

When I tell you he is slippery as hell.

(Yup, uncle 2 just go kicked in the face. If they all survive this, the next family meal is going to be interesting.)

You can notice some dolls had a better wisdom check than others.

Yeah, Teddy trained them for theses kind of situations.
And yeah, he know Guilemma.
To their respective great displeasure.

If you are wondering how was life et the Pit ten years ago, it looked like this : Guilemma and Teddy bickering and Aisha’s intervention when things were too loud.

While I was drawing this page, I had to redo a few times Aisha’s proportions when I realized I was drawing Sunday instead.
So, if you want to know what Sunday could look like once adult: Panel 2 and 4.

You can believe Ulf is currently screaming at gui that being chivalrous right now is a VERY VERY BAD idea.
Unfortunately, Gui can’t hear the dead.
And anyway, it wasn’t as if she was listening to him when he was alive.

Maybe it’s time to start moving? Like… faster?

What the… no, Sunday, Hiding behind the statue will NOT help…

Pardon her, this is her slasher-victim moment, it will not happen again

It’s starting to get a bit confusing with all the Marassa pieces around, so, let’s try to clarify the mess.

• Eshu : Receptacle of half Marassa’s soul. without the soul piece, this is only an inanimate wood puppet.
• The stone heart placed in Eshu: Mojo of Marassa’s half soul, real vessel of the soul, can link the soul to the body it is in. it used to be one of the pendant around Marassa’s necks.
• Marassa’s body : Remains of the Marassa who died on the pyre, 200 years ago, regularly ‘healed’ by the healers. He does not have a conscience, but contain Marassa’s last sensations and emotions. Which were: PAINFUL.
• The handsome young man on this page :This is Marassa’s half of soul, who was put into the puppet and hence, Eshu’s « charming » and easy-going personality.
• The Witcher : The other Marassa brother, who self undead himself and hid his half of soul somewhere.
• Mojo: His mojo Viviane’s charm, which contain the Witcher’s half soul.

I’m… not quite sure it clarified anything, actually.

Also, I had to draw a chart for my own use cause i was getting lost myself.

And for the lore: Yup, this is Sad/Sadiah real appearance, when she died at 15. I didn’t dressed her in a poncho, she is wearing the khanga that Sunday used to sew herself a dress. Yes, I’m being overly precides, I know.

This may sting a bit.

There is a lot, WAY too lot, things happening in this first panel.

Deafpot is Peepers and Talkative other ‘sister’ and is, as its name imply, deaf as a pot, which mean it can’t always manage it’s voice volume.

Oh, and one other detail, Peepers, Talkative and Deafpot were inspired by the Three wise Monkeys… You know. Them.

Guess which is which. You have three try for each.
