🌟 New

  • We've renamed the menu option “This particular post isn’t for me” to “Dismiss”. This option allows you to dismiss a post that you don’t like. You can see this option in the meatballs menu of a recommended post (Based on your likes, Liked by a blog you follow, Based on a tag you follow, posts on the “For you” feed).
  • On web, we’ve added post permalinks to the timestamps in the post headers and reblog headers, to make it easier to get to the posts directly. You’ll need to enable “Show timestamps” in your dashboard settings to see these timestamps.
  • Also on web, you can now Command+Click (Mac) or Control+Click (Windows) on the empty space of a post header or a reblog header to open that post in a new tab or window.

🛠 Fixed

  • On web, the styling of the Delete blog button on the blog settings page has been updated to make it less easy to accidentally click.
  • On web, the meatball menu in the blog view header will show the “Get notifications” option after you’ve followed the blog.

🚧 Ongoing

Anonymous asked:

Do you have a doctor Watson design?

I do, As this takes place in 1918 Watson is in his sixties and in the book he's described as "a heavily built, elderly man with a grey moustache" and in previous chapters he was referenced as having a square jaw and thick neck. At one point he's also described as having played rugby. I took this to mean that Watson is an absolute unit, even in his older years with a layer of fat on him he could probably still kick your ass. I did take a few liberties with his design. I wanted to retain the look of a classy older gentleman but have his rough history with the army, as an athlete and as Holmes's partner show on his face. I gave him a broken nose and a scar on his eyebrow to give a touch of that roughness to his otherwise well groomed appearance.

June's Whaling Webcomic Wednesday update is here! Content warning for animal injury/cruelty in this batch of pages.

---

This update commences with a hard pull after a sperm whale. Middle part, the differing styles of Captain and 2nd Mate are made plain in the management of their boats, and a shanty is sung. Latter part, the waist boat fastens, but the hunt's not done. So ends.

I also wrote an accompanying historical context essay for this one about the design of whaleboats, harpoons, and the function of whale line. It's a bit verbose, as always. Call me Ishmael I guess.

Hoping to round out this chapter by July's update. If you'd like to see the closure before then, please consider joining my patreon. Subscribers get early access to pages throughout the month as I finish them, in advance of the public publishing. Otherwise, we'll be bent on our oars til the dead of summer, see you then!
