Greetings! I'm updating this comic out of the usual schedule as I'm getting surgery soon, and it'll probably be a bit before I'm able to work on this again. Hoping to get back to it in August, and thank you for all your patience with me this year as I figure out how to balance my time!

This update is also accompanied by a Historical Context Essay concerning shore leaves.

This month's update commences with a close to Barzillai's haunting--for now--but the bargains made a decade agone have yet to be revealed. Latter part, Lawrence Manner settles into his role as ship's doctor. So ends.

If you need something to read while waiting for the next update, here's a historical context essay I wrote about medical care aboard whaleships.

As always, patreon supporters get early access to the next pages throughout the month, as I finish them. Otherwise, we'll be cutting in and trying out once more in May!

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!

March's update commences with Adelaide making her introductions and meeting Lawrence Manner while he finds a little creative output.

A rather small update on this Whaling Webcomic Wednesday, as I've learned that whaleboats are much more time consuming to draw than I anticipated. Whups.

May's update commences with lowering the boats. At this pace, it'll be a long time pulling at the oars. So ends.

On a pay-what-you-wish subscription, patrons get early access to all comic pages throughout the month as I finish them. Otherwise, perhaps we'll fasten in June.
