Blog Update!
Alright so I've got two major things to go over.
The first is that I live in fucking Looney Tunes and my tablet cable is kaput because a couple of Lindor chocolate truffles exploded in the same bag the cable was in. My tablet and laptop just had some surface-level gorp, but the cable was proper saturated. All of the nooks and crannies of the USB and HDMI heads are gunked up. I needed to replace it anyway because the damn thing's long since gone positional so whatever. I was working on part of the Lamorak comic when this happened and got exactly 1 panel done before I met my chocolatey doom, pictured below.
The second thing is the keychains! I've since sent the keychain out to the one address I got, but I've yet to receive word on the other four so check your tumblr DMs if you entered! I'll send out another round of messages in a couple of days. If I don't get any responses by next Monday, I'll need to redraw. I had to actually go another town over to use their post office because mine is godawful and I think inflating their prices. Once more, I live in Looney Tunes and that Post Office is my Elmer Fudd, or whatever.
I made one major mistake with that giveaway and that was thinking that international shipping would be cheap for something less than an ounce (it's not). Any non-US winners will still get their keychains, though it might take a while. I'm going to Europe in a month or so, and assuming that doesn't fall through, I might just take any further European winners' keychains over with me and mail them once I get over there. Outside of Europe/North America I'll just have to snail mail them. Apparently stealing and then flying a plane without a license across international borders to use other countries' post offices is 'extremely illegal' and 'will land me in Super Guantanamo'... whatever THAT means.
Anyway, that's about it. Things have been hectic hectic hectic, and now they're NOT for about a month and this unstable schedule is hell upon my war-torn, ADHD-addled brain. Watch the weather and stay safe! And remember, international waters start way further out to sea than you might expect.

Hi-Lo Arthuriana
Have a high interest in Arthurian Legend but low readability?
Here's a collection of adapted or abridged books to help ease you into the literary tradition. This list is ordered from simplest to most complex, beginning with picture books and ending with "translations" of Middle English texts into modern English or abridged versions of longer texts such as the Vulgate. Books in a series are numbered.
As always, if the book is still in print, I link to where you can legally purchase the book. Supporting living authors is very important! Otherwise, enjoy a PDF, on me, to keep the legacy of these authors alive.

Today I'll be drawing names for the Galahad keychain! (Once my damn laptop charges) (I forgot to plug it in) (I forgot to plug it in because I fell asleep watching Star Trek) (The space noises make me sleepy)

Hi! I love your comics/characterization! Would you be okay with fanart of your designs? thx!
Of course I'm okay with it! I'm honored that you want to use them!
Y'all don't ever need to ask permission for this sort of thing, by the way! The answer to 'would you like fan art' will always be a resounding 'yes, absolutely, inject that right into my eyeballs, thank you very much' - barring any weird circumstances, which I very much doubt will ever happen by virtue of Arthuriana Tumblr being really, really well-behaved.

Happy Birthday Mordred!
And now for a moment of silence in rememberance of the Infant Boat. The boat of infants. Yes, the boat carrying several infants all born on the same day that the King ordered to be on the boat because a wizard told him to do it. That very same Infant Boat.
