Legend of Bill’s very own color wizard Don Kuehn & LoB’s Saturday Barwench Tales cartoonist Jason Williams sent me a lil’ surprise earlier this week, and boy did MY eyes pop out of my head when I got it in my Inbox. Don had a fun idea of doing a Star Wars-like poster (think of the classic Hildebrandt poster for the first Star Wars in ’77) featuring the LoB cast, and asked Jason to draw it. Then Don colored it. What a team! LOOKIT this awesome work by LoB’s own – I’m so proud I sent a few barwenches and a crate of the Wet Gill Tavern’s finest homemade ale (is that a GOOD thing?) to both their houses. THANK YOU, GUYS!!!
I’m thinking this needs to be made into a print and added into the LoB store, with special ones signed by me, Don and Jason!

See the first appearance of Vasheeva’s godmother, the Frost Queen Shiarra HERE!
From the sketchbook of secrets: A very rough, unfinished sketch of the Frost Queen Shiarra (Vasheeva’s godmother from the north)… hm… will we be seeing her in the future? And exactly what are the circumstances for her being Vasheeva’s godmother? And what does any of this have to do with anything? Hm… (If someone would be so very kind as to post the link to the strip she appears in, I’ll paste it in here) *(YES, we’re working on a titled/dated archive system, btw!)* 
A closer look at the blue-haired fairie in Gnome 12′s stein… guess her lil’ bath was over in today’s strip!
There’s been some fun and interesting speculation on the comments of the current strip. Who do YOU think the mystery woman is from Bill’s past? The Dark Queen Vasheeva? The mysterious gypsy? Someone else alluded to in past strips? Someone you’ve not met yet? (And while you’re at it, who do you think the gnome is? Bill’s very own watcher Gnome 12? Gnome 13? Another one?) Heehee. FUN!
Over the holidays Don decided to have some fun inking & coloing one of my Dark Queen sketches, and here it is (along with my pencils so you can see the progress and work that went into it compared to the original sketch!)! Awesome work, Don. Love it!
