Everything I draw ends up wearing a bow-tie

warm up doodles combined = hey what if some meany stole Sherl and the ot3 had to go through Crazy Puzzle House Trial to prove they’re worthy enough to get him back (look im soft I just want. stupid sappy dramatic scenes like this why do you think I like the Layton games in the first place. come on)

have you ever been struck so hard by an ot3 your damn shoes fell off? also. also listen. whoever decided to call Noah and Geraldine other names in the translatioN? can I just ask WHY op i just want to talk (they are both good names?! why)

edit: for those asking these characters are from Layton’s Mystery Detective Agency! it’s an anime based off the game Layton’s Mystery Journey- they are both good and you should check them out! <3

the final part! I can’t tell you how emotionally draining this one was and how anxious I was about getting it right, but the response I got from yesterday’s post was incredibly positive and touching. I’m so glad that people felt connected to it and I’m very moved so many people wrote to me to express that. Thanks for reading! I’ll do my best to get better from my tendonitis and make more soon!

The whole thing is now up on my website if you want to have the complete full size experience!

Previous part / read from the beginning on tumblr!

part four! I could talk about this part but I’m hoping it talks for itself. As ever, new tabs are best for reading clarity! 

Thanks so much to my friends for all the feedback they gave me while working on this part, it was very important to me that I got it right and sent it to enough of the culturally relevant parties to confirm it was working and that I was getting the words across in the most appropriate way.

Part one here / part two here / part three here

Final part is here!

Part three! I think this is gonna be a five parter just because of tumblr’s 10 image limit so hold on in there we still in this and the next part is the actual Spicy Take so uh yeah head’s up for that

Part one is here / Part two is here / Part four is here!

as ever open in new tabs for best reading but if you want to read it all in full size I’ll post it on my website on Saturday when it’s all finished :Tb

Part two! Thanks for hanging in there with this one despite that weird opener- hopefully it will just make sense as it goes along but here’s a link to the original Trail of the Unicorn story in case you want to scope that out first! (warning: that website has some gross adverts so be sure to have your adblock all suped up)

also again sorry this one is so wildly scribbly but I was a) trying to save on time and b) my hands died partway through making it like, really bad. whelp.

Part one is here / part three is here!

if you want to read the whole thing full size in one go I’ll be posting it up here when it’s completed!

OKAY SO THIS. WAS UNEXPECTED bc I wasn’t planning on putting this up today but it’s National Unicorn Day and I really can’t get around the fact that it’s probably the most appropriate day ever to start posting this so. I’m going to.

This story is weird and I was terrified of making it but a couple of Good Friends to whom some of the topics are Relevant have been very kind in helping me to refine the script and get it as good as I can make it, broken hands aside, but literally I had no choice bc it wrote itself in my head over like a day and then I had to make it (very much like TPoH only like, not as huge thank goodness). Sorry for all the waffle, I’m just anxious- I hope it works out and you enjoy it!

This is part one! Part two is up here!

Read a lot of other duck doodle comics which are more chill over here!
