At first I was a little disappointed in the discrepancy between the story we were given and the one I was imagining after seeing that awesome cover illustration. But I was wrong. This was totally loopy and amazing. I like it when the cave freaks threaten to lick the guy to death with their teeth.

I was a bit torn about where to go from here for the rest of the month but it seems like this Harvey series is winning everyone over so I guess we'll keep the Witches Tales a'brewin' (at least for a few more posts) until I deliver a xmas present to you all.

But when he started ranting about feeding his doll people and demanded we look at them, it seemed he was right in our face, blocking the sidewalk. So the vegetable jar was with the unpublished papers? Or what?
