Paper Doll Veronika update
Birds holding guns will never not be funny to me.
Paper Doll Veronika has updated; Chapter 9 of Part IV, "Starving Artists", is complete!
It updates on Fridays/Saturdays on my site, Sundays on Arktoons,
Mondays on Substack, and
Saturdays on Deviantart.
(Substack and Deviantart are at much earlier points in the comic). I recommend
using bookmarking or the "Save your place" gadget on my site, even
once you catch up, because the site starts at the beginning and updates are
several pages.
Veronika Bosch, who's never left her father's estate, has to go on a journey
when envious animals kick her out. Half collage, half puppetry, a fairy tale
adventure made with hand-drawn paper dolls.

It is a thriving community on Arktoons!
It really is. And Chapter 7 of Part IV of Paper Doll Veronika continues thereon!
I'm amazed and humbled how these chapters are falling on these dates. Today's gospel is the one about those "who come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly are ravenous wolves." And something else.
And the part--which hasn't been posted yet--which I was working on on July 1, the Feast of the Precious Blood, is very appropriate especially with what happened this year's Feast of the Precious Blood, and then I check my timeline for the story. Within Paper Doll Veronika, (and this can be inferred from the comic via the "Ides of March" chapter) the present day is July 1. Feast of the Precious Blood.

"A thriving community" on Arktoons
It went up late because I'm still figuring out the Early-Access-for-Subscribers feature, but Chapter 7 of Part IV of Paper Doll Veronika continues on Arktoons!
You can also read it on my own website. (I recommend my site for PC and Arktoons for mobile.)

Priests of the Blood
Here are some photos of St. John's Abbey, Collegeville, Minnesota. All but one were taken by me.
My father in what used to be the chapel.
Inside the current chapel.
A horrifying statue that is supposedly St. John.
And an ordination photo (the one not taken by me). I don't know when it's from; my father found it left as a bookmark in a book of the library when he was there getting his undergraduate degree. But you can see it was in that same old chapel.
After Vatican II, St. John's was the epicenter of the liturgical revolution in America. And later it was revealed to be a center of homosexual predation. It still is.
I wonder with sorrow what became of these priests.
But at the same time as we sorrow, let us hope. It's the Feast of the Precious Blood, and there are more ordinations.

Gatehouse morn
Bonus art for Chapter 7 of Part IV of Paper Doll Veronika, which is now being posted on Arktoons!
As Phlox Field was a companion piece to Daisy Field, this is a companion to Red Glass Candle. Both of black ink lines on colored paper cut to be light and shadow; that a night vigil, this a dawn.
