[ID: A digital drawing of Ishmael sitting on the beach and writing/drawing in a notebook. The top left of the image has handwritten text that reads “Moby Dick: or, the Webcomic // 4 years.” More detailed ID in alt text.]
It’s Moby Dick: or, the Webcomic’s 4th birthday today! So so delighted and excited to have made it this far, and for everything still to come.
Just about a week ago, (about when I thought I would), I finally finished the thumbnails for ch3! It’s gonna be a long one, but I’m so so excited for it. Can’t wait for y’all to meet one of my favorite characters. Can’t wait for the juicy drama. Can’t wait for y’all to see an actual proper whale hunt! And more shenanigans, nautical nonsense, queer delight, and other such miscellaneous happenings.
We’re still shooting for / on track for an initial start date of sometime this summer, and I will absolutely update with a more specific start date as soon as I have a better idea of that, but yeah! Chapter 3 pages are properly underway!
extremely excited for chapter 3, and the rest of this story. thanks so much to everyone for reading 💖💖🐋🐋

36 chapters into moby dick. some thoughts:
- take a shot every time he expresses his love for nantucket or whaling trivia
- i know everyone said it was queer and usually i've come to expect that as hyperbole but this time they weren't joking
- CHILDE HAROLD REFERENCE?!?!?!?!?! BYRON QUOTED?!?!?!?! not surprised bc it is the romantic genre which byron & chp helped inspire & he was the best selling writer in early 19c usa & is noted for his oceanic refs & he & esp childe harolds pilgrimage esp are both noted on wikipedia's "nautical fiction" page but like. i had no idea they were immortalized in moby dick
- "Better sleep with a sober cannibal than a drunken Christian." AAAAAAAHHHHHHHH
- does gay cannibal tumblr know about queequeg & ishmael?
- utterly obsessed with captain ahab for numerous reasons but does anyone else notice how similar he is to captain flint from black sails? like he's literally him but a bit older & combined with silver's leglessness.
- the part where ahab calls stubb a dog lmao
- ishmael getting worried for queequeg when he couldn't find him omg...
- "Where's that girl ? — there, Betty, go to Snarles the Painter, and tell him to paint me a sign, with — 'no suicides permitted here, and no smoking in the parlor;' — might as well kill both birds at once." MRS. HUSSEY!!!!
- i'm sure that all the focus on queequegs spirituality & his consultation with his god yojo wherein he was informed that ishmael had to pick their boat bc yojo demaded it TOTALLY won't prove to have any prophetic and symbolic consequences later on or anything
- love how the chapters are nice and short but on the flip side that means theyre tricking me into thinking i have less to go than i actually do... as long as i get more ahab i'm good i guess
-melville, at random: and now we take a break from our regularly schedule programming to give you . . . WHALE FACTS! [whips out multiple books on the history of whales and whaling, begins to recite]
