To my moderate horror, several more lines of dialogue pushed into my brain.

Renndy’s clearly a dick. Wish I knew what he was.

Just wanted to say that I really really like all this

sugarblind.bsky.social•230 days ago

I get so much joy from watching these ideas bubble to life. So grateful that you share them as you go.

natediggadoggity.bsky.social•230 days ago

Took me a minute to examine the word bubbles and realize what looked like an angler was the top of the angler fish they were talking to. Creepy, but cool.

susanontherocks.bsky.social•230 days ago

Thank you for mentioning this because I totally missed it.

jl8e.bsky.social•230 days ago

Really makes you wonder what Angler eats.

natediggadoggity.bsky.social•230 days ago

Going by their comment, something not quite alive? Are zombies going after the fisherman trap?

alisonborealis.bsky.social•229 days ago

This Angler character is superb!

What a great double entendre!

sorien.bsky.social•230 days ago

One word: MORE.

mjfgates.bsky.social•230 days ago

I have no idea where you can go with this, but I *do* like Angler.

chimaera.bsky.social•229 days ago

I love you very much, Ursula

skyintist.bsky.social•229 days ago

omg I love Angler

tombs.bsky.social•227 days ago

I simply love this art style. Wish I had the energy to learn a whole new art

gftomatoes.bsky.social•230 days ago

Angler...just, wow
Marsh...I'm thinking that's not short for "Marshall"
You have the best weird brain ever!

abbaetha.bsky.social•230 days ago

It is one weird brain for sure, and I’m privileged to be able to enjoy its creations. Also that angler, as you say.

gftomatoes.bsky.social•230 days ago

Agreed. We've been fans for a long time, kids books to adult
My nearly 15-year-old granddaughter still laments the end of Danny Dragonbreath...

footnoteenthusiast.bsky.social•230 days ago

This is wonderful and I'd love to see what else pops up! Also I just read the 4th Paladin book because I'd somehow missed its publication. I love Shane and Marguerite but I'm really really looking forward to seeing more of Judith 😍 (And please keep promoting your books for people who missed them!)

selphietrabia.bsky.social•228 days ago

At least Angler didn't eat them.

RIP new people. Anyway, at least our main fella doesn't have to greet them anymore, right?

nobilis.bsky.social•230 days ago

In my mind, these are animated Monty Python style, with cutouts bouncing around on the background as ominous music plays in the background.

tkingfisher.com•229 days ago

I would love that!

datban.bsky.social•229 days ago

I feel almost like Renndy is some kind of giant mulch-and-body-eating earthworm. Probably poops really good dirt.

scifantasy.bsky.social•230 days ago

"But time flows like a river...and history repeats..."

remipanjo.bsky.social•229 days ago

These are phenomenal!

And goddamn, Renndy.

angeluslorelei.bsky.social•230 days ago

This is amazing.

And also, dang it Renndy! You can't keep doing this!

tkingfisher.com•230 days ago

Right? Renndy is out of control!

m00nstruck.bsky.social•229 days ago

It's just basic manners - you wipe your feet before you go in the door, you say please and thank you, and you don't eat people!

sctadsen.bsky.social•230 days ago

There's something powerful in writing when a character responds with "again." Piques curiosity.

Kinda like every instance of "that's the second biggest [thing] I've ever seen" in the Monkey Island games.

And yes, Renndy is a dick.

spaceturtleart.bsky.social•230 days ago

Definitely enjoying this weird little swamp community.

crowgirl42.bsky.social•230 days ago

I love everything happening here and am fully :chinhands: for more.

teapotrabbit.bsky.social•230 days ago

Ooooh I quite like the Angler. That was a delightful little twist.

arfisk.bsky.social•229 days ago

Wa-ait a minute...

... Renndy!!???:

Robert Crumb (to enhance the horror) once described the way a particular cartoon of his evolved in precisely the same way (ie he didn't know where it came from, and rather wished it had stayed there.)

vincaminor42.bsky.social•229 days ago

I've tentatively titled this one "The New People" on the Great Ursula Bibliography Spreadsheet, do you have a prefered name for it? Also would you say this is under the T Kingfisher or Ursula Vernon handle?

tkingfisher.com•228 days ago

T Kingfisher, I think!

dconaty.bsky.social•227 days ago

Is this spreadsheet available somewhere?

vincaminor42.bsky.social•230 days ago

In at 6 pages, of 800+ epic Hugo-winning comic =P

iguanasnout.bsky.social•230 days ago

I didn't discover your body of work until well after Digger had been completed and published in one big book. I imagine the anticipatory joy that I'm feeling right now is some of what your earlier fans experienced😊

aethan.bsky.social•230 days ago

I would like to see more.

riderius.bsky.social•230 days ago

Also I love Angler, and seeing a bit of Marsh's concientious worrywortness 8-)

riderius.bsky.social•230 days ago

The artwork on this... This is amazing - cool, interesting implied world, the storytelling flows, and all this with *no plan*. For however long you want to go with this, I will be following with fascination 8-)

nkaykerr.bsky.social•229 days ago

Love Angler! Something ineffable about this is reminding me of Johnny The Homicidal Maniac… possibly just this weird sense of joy I’m feeling…

robinbobcat.bsky.social•230 days ago

I'm rather fond of how each new line raises considerably more questions... "Wait wait wait go back what the heck"

neotiamat99.bsky.social•230 days ago

Okay this is amazing and I really want to see where it goes.

maharetr.bsky.social•230 days ago

The fact that there's no dialogue attribution line thingy (technical comics knowledge: 0, here), for the fisher is an invisible, perfect *chef's kiss*. So Fucking Satisfying 😍 Love all of this so much

tkingfisher.com•230 days ago

Thank you for noticing that! I was proud of it.

archangelbeth.bsky.social•229 days ago

I loved it too! I didn't notice and first and then she surfaced and I went back and saw the lack of bubble-tail in the first ones!

davidgoldfarb.bsky.social•230 days ago

I want to say it's just called a "word balloon tail"?

amagicianofsorts.bsky.social•34 days ago

Angler seems like a decent hang.

Renndy strikes me as a whirlpool in a swamp kinda thing. Or a sentient garbage disposal or something. Maybe a troll? Trolls have Rend.

misago.org•230 days ago

I am already in love with Angler and want more of them.

suedeer.bsky.social•230 days ago

I was NOT expecting the angler fish! 🤣 Bravo!

nycteris.bsky.social•229 days ago

This scratches an itch in my soul in a weird way.
