I can hardly believe it, but we are now 48 pages in, and have wrapped up the first chapter of the comic!

This comic means so much to me, and explores some themes that are deeply personal, so sometimes it can be somewhat scary to share it. Putting a piece of yourself out there you always risk some measure of disappointment, so I want to thank everyone who has read and responded with support and positivity – especially right now, while things seem bleak. This comic is a challenge for me, but also a deep joy, and as such it has helped keep me grounded AND enthusiastic in the same turn.

I am going to be taking a short break before diving in to chapter 2, so I can rebuild the buffer and also take some time to breathe. I’ll also be doing a bit of upkeep around the site, updating profiles, and possibly touching up lettering that has been bugging me on the pages. Please enjoy what is here in the meantime, and the comic will be back, soon! There’s a lot left to explore…

As a reminder (especially for new readers), there is a Content Guide containing notations about sensitive material and what page it appears on, so you can skip or anticipate accordingly. I am always open to suggestions if you feel a page needs to be properly marked. (There are also some resources linked here for those who may be looking for help or more information.)

And as one last bit of housekeeping, it’s just $1 a month to support me on Patreon, and get access to early pages, exclusive inks and thumbnails, and all sorts of other comic-centric goodies that I won’t be posting anywhere else! Patreon support directly funds the continued production of Harlowe Vanished, so if you are able, please think about it.

Thank you again for reading, and I’ll talk to you again, soon.

It feels like I JUST started posting, but it turns out, it has indeed been 24 weeks of posting! Can you believe it? We now have as many pages up here as a standard issue comic. I hope if you are new to the comic today that you take some time to read through this sizable chunk, and if you’ve been reading for a while now, I hope you continue to enjoy, and thank you so much!

As a reminder, there is a Content Guide containing a heads-up about sensitive material contained within the comic. I am always open to suggestions if you feel a page needs to be properly marked. (There are also still resources linked here for those who may be looking for help or more information.)

Also, it’s just $1 a month to support me on Patreon, and get to see early pages, concept art, and other cool exclusive comic stuff before everyone else, so please give it a look if you think you might be interested!

Updates to the content guide!

Hi, all! We are already up to page 7, and there are a couple other updates going on around the site. First off, the Content Guide now has material so you can check for topics that might be uncomfortable for you and avoid those pages, if need be. (There are also still resources linked here for those who may be looking for help or more information.) I also have updates being added into the Characters and World-Building section, so you can at least get some names!

The Patreon has been FULL of updates lately, so if you’re enjoying the story so far and would like to read ahead (up to 5 pages ahead, in fact, with thumbnails all the way up to page 16 – almost 10 pages ahead!!), it’s just $1 a month to support me on Patreon, and get all caught up.

On that note, please enjoy the continuing updates, and I’ll check in again, soon. ♥

Welcome to the relaunch!

Well, it’s been 9 months of solid work behind-the-scenes, but it’s finally time to get this relaunch off the ground and out in the world! In case you are not familiar, this webcomic originally launched in October of 2015, and I was able to self-publish the first issue before, after 58 produced pages, deciding to rework and edit to something I felt better represented my story-telling sensibilities. I am so proud and excited to be able to present these characters and this world to all of you, and can honestly say that while at first I did consider this a revision, it has more become its own separate venture – linked to the original, but different in a way that truly makes it into its own new experience. It’s been flat-out amazing to be able to work on it again and fall in love with everything that made me want to write and illustrate it in the first place, and I’ll be doubly thrilled if you choose to follow along. ♥

As always, please be mindful of the warnings on the site. I’ve included some resources linked here for those who may be looking for help or more information to help others dealing with their own difficulties, and hope you’ll make use of it if need be.

If you find a pressing urge to see more pages sooner rather than later… you can always support me on Patreon, and, for $1 a month, read a bit ahead! At current you can read up to page 6 on there, with more to follow very soon. (Page 7 is slated to go up, today, and the early inks for page 8 are already available!)

Other than that, I believe I’ve hollered all I can so, please enjoy the first page, and I’ll see you back here for page 2 and onward starting next week!
