SPQR Pencils. Because it's just too dark to see to draw.

Happy Solstice, everyone. Don't forget to bang those pots and pans tonight to call the sun back.

I had a buffer going, but added in a scene, so I'm not quite ready with a comic for today. In case I don't finish the inking tonight, you can take a sneak preview of the pencils after the cut. It should be mostly legible :)

*tries -- roman weddings spearhead hair*

" Her hair was parted with a hasta recurva or hasta caelibaris, bent iron spearhead. It is not really known why this ritual was practiced, except that the Romans may have believed that this would drive out the evil spirits thought to be living in the hair."

Reminds me of how my Aunt decided that for my reaffirmation of vows ceremony (we got married in another state with a JoP) that she would take me to the hairdresser. Had my hair put up in a french twist. I think the stylist managed to tuck my eyebrows in there somehow.

Ha! That's reminding me of when my mother gave me the world's tightest french twist so I wouldn't have to worry about my hair while trying to get settled in overseas. Somehow magically it wasn't a complete tangle by the time I'd found a place to live and figured out where my comb was (and what time zone I was in, how the hot water in the shower worked, which end was up, etc. etc.). But I never have figured out how those twist things actually work. Next time I'll try tucking the eyebrows in, maybe that's the trick.

Just imagine how many evil spirits could live in all that hair Iusta has....
