Raven Donoho - Page 64 of the cartoon about Phill from GCHQ - a free comic that I have been working on since September 2016.

(thanks to @steevc for the idea about pointing to the previous page. Remember that the comic can also be read on the its own website.
Introduction to this weeks page
You can never have enough supporting characters... right? Here's another one. Raven Donoho, who owes her surname to something as exotic as a Diaspora romance scammer. Sometimes evil persons go for some of the free networks out there... must sound familiar to anybody on Steemit.
The Wicca religion is an anachronistic religion that identify itself with the believed practitioners of witchcraft of the middle ages. Its inventor (or at least one of the leading forces) was the retired custom officer Gerald Gardner who after a returning to England from Malaysia went on a spiritual adventure including spiritism, Rosicrucianism , and nudism, and ended up with what today has become a large neo-pagan framework.
Why Morty Mogg went to wicca gatherings and who Raven is, will be revealed in the next couple of pages.
Happy reading.

Steem: here on Steemit :)
The comic is, like all my digital artworks, made exclusively with open source software:
Read & enjoyed!
Found two typos: first row, second text: sacret = sacred and second row, second text: som = some. <- Proof of Reading.
Thanks! A large upvote for the help.
You have IIS in the second pic. Should it be IS?
Damn, I missed one 8-).
A typo it is, go it has to.
If I ever were to do a full scale comic it'd be probably unreadable, I'm a wretch at proof reading. :)
That is the good thing with Steemit and Diaspora. People volunteer the proofreading in the comments. For the first album I also got a very thorough proof reading from a user for the first 48 pages!
Wonderful, as usual!
I once made the mistake of telling a 'wiccan witch' that wicca was not ancient but basically pieced together in the 60's, not a good idea. Interesting fellow, though and also an interesting movement. It could have happened at no other time then that post WW II disillusionment. Interesting stuff.
Never trust a nonchalant American couple ;)
Many ancient disciplines was invented in the twentieth century. But as Terry Prachet say in the book, Witches Abroad (sic).
“Wisdom is one of the few things that looks bigger the further away it is.”
Takes one to know one I suppose :)
Wicked page! You may want to fix the first word of the post, though... Great parallel lines in the third frame ;-) The story about the romance scammer on diaspora, who gave Raven her name, is quite funny. I only receive similar scams in my junk-mail.
Oops, thanks - I'll fix that. It is my first on a social network I must admit. Normally it is women from Ukraine who writes personal e-mails to me... but even that is a while ago.
Hehe, there's a first time for everything. Coincidentally yesterday was the first time, I've heard about RavenCoin, a new blockchain project, which only aim is to tokenize everything.
You are an incredible finder of COINS.
Here's a Raven Penny.
Sweet! Is this for real or did you create it?
This is the real deal :) But I admit that I could have been nerdy enough to draw it.

He he, you definitley are. I would like to see you issuing some coins like the Shiirik-Coin. It's so easy these days to create your own coin and a large playground.
I once created a CreativeCommonsCoin and wanted to reward good CC-Content with it. The only downsite is, that it's made on Ethereum and I would need an ERC20-compatible Ethereum address of the creators to reward them.
But I can also imagine a Commentphant-Coin, which could easily become the most unwanted Coin in history.
Whoa your inking is very nice. I love it.
Do you make the comic digitally? Because it feels like a comic made with real ink and paper.
I make all of it digitally. Some of the sketching is made with pencil and then I take a photo and send it to my computer, but all the inking is digital. I just never (and if I hide it) use other tools than the inkbrush. No straight lines, boxes or other computer generated geometry, no cross hatching tools etc.
I wrote a bit about it here: https://steemit.com/comics/@katharsisdrill/making-of-a-comic-style-and-stalagmites
It is an old post so there are images missing as Steemit changed their system.
I appreciate that you take your time in explaining it to me. I will check the blog now and hopefully learn something awesome.
Thank you :).
Are you also publishing your comics? If not, you should do so! Great work!
Thank you for sharing!
I plan to publish the first album - haven't decided how to do it yet, probably a kickstarter as I also have some people reading it on other networks. In the end I have to pay the expenses in fiat anyway.
Another wonderful page * ___* Love your inks so much ! The way you do shading and linearts are just so lovely~
