Wow.
Good job Gabe, I want to see more of this
Otherwise, beautiful.
"Secrete" would be like if you had a coin gland and coins oozed out of you.

Secret was used as a verb, but is rare nowadays. It has been replaced by the more common Secrete (as in "To conceal in a hiding place")
However as the setting for the comic is "medieval" perhaps using Secret is more apt.
Apparently the common latin root 'secretus' meant "separate / set apart", leaving me to wonder how "secret" ever came to mean what it does, but explains how "secrete" came to have its divergent meanings, and perhaps why the spelling was altered.
Having learned my new something for the day nice and early am I allowed to go back to bed now?
not sure of the date, but Gabe posted a full size panel one a few weeks ago free of the word balloon as part of a news post.
A secret can be considered a bit of knowledge that's been "set apart" from what most people know.
The most beautiful thing about that "Daughters of the Eyrewood" art is the fact the girl has five fingers.
The people in Sand had 5 fingers too. I really like the way Gabe draws hands in these stories.
incredible
I will always remember the bananahands fondly.

The first "panel" (as Blizzard put it because they are silly) is up today with more throughout the week.
Also the artwork in the tithe is amazing! the backgrounds could make amazing posters alone, I just want to stare at it forever sometimes : D

Two pairs of shoes would be four shoes. I think the poem is just literally saying put on your shoes before you head out.
at least that's what I took away from it.

I can't emphasize enough how much I love the art you have done for Lookouts in general.
You actually sing quite beautifully, and I like that tune!
My only thing is that since it's a traveling song, my mind's expectation is that the song would have the sort of cadence that it's easy to march in step to, sort of like a jody call but more lyrical.
As someone who is only familiar with Lookouts through the comics posted on the site, where could I go to catch up on Daughters of the Eyrewood? Or is this the first concrete sample of it?
EDIT: I just read through A Boy Must Learn and Thornwatch again, so I'm trying to get this universe straight. When I first read A Boy Must Learn, I thought the giant owlbeast fight was just the imagination of the boys as they played with the adult in the mask. But seeing more of the setting, I guess the monsters are real and the game was a form of training? From the guest comic about the basilisk, I gather that the adults of Lookouts are pretty strict about letting weaker boys die in the forest. So the Thornwatch are renegades who take in the outcast boys who ran from a fight. Are the Daughters more of a female Lookouts equivalent, or (as this series would indicate) a group that stands apart from accepted society like Thornwatch?
Also, is there a tabletop game or anything similar for this yet?
Thanks.
