Back in business
I'll start running the 12 Bobbins strips I made recently here next week, but in the meantime, rest assured that I am back in business and 1/3 of the way through drawing Solver 8 ("The Urn"). It will run here on October 24th as a PDF and on the website up to a couple of weeks before Christmas (where I always take a week off), so my next jobs are to decide what to run in those two weeks (I don't like to split stories), and what will kick off 2023. It might be more Solver, or I may work on a prospective Steeple volume 4, as there are now a few ideas knocking around for that. All kind of depends on if Dark Horse want more.
You're welcome to propose something that might run in the two week gap. I'm a bit out of practice on short stories, I have a tendency towards sprawl, but maybe that will be a time for concision. It will not be a time for Desmond Fishman unless I am forced to rely on the "story of last resort".
Here's a little preview of Solver 8. I think I am drawing well despite the lay off. Charlotte is, I assure you, at her imping best.

Back in the Saddle Again!
Why not Desmond Fishman?
Stumping for Bonus Wendigo.
Cryptkicker: Daisy adventures! or Best Medicine: Dr Susan Ptolemy adventures! (Both from: https://steeple.church/comic/parish-notices/)
Dang! I'd forgotten those! Here Comes Gothy #4 sounds like a banger!
My request: the tragic ends of the Wendlefield Mystery Kids.
Shawna's in a band, right? Could we follow her?
"story of last resort" is only scheduled to upload upon confirmation of nuclear exchange
Maybe the 2 weeks could be filled by a short Robert Cop story. You could just reprint one of the backup stories from the back of the old monthly book.
Gosh, so much back catalog to draw from! Who haven't we seen in a while? Shauna, Sarah, Nina...oh, Riley!!! Was there ever more intended for her evil-genius future machinations? What happened after Shelley took her case?
Got a soft spot for Moon.
Nems, Part... Four?
Welcome back! I hope you’re feeling good.
I would love to see another Magus Tom's weird adventure. Or, as someone already suggested, something with Erin Winter (and Eustace) would be great.
Maybe just some one-off "Where are they now?" strips for some of the characters that aren't likely to show up in Solver any time soon? Like Colm, or Darren, or Knott, or Wolfboy. (Okay, probably not Wolfboy.)
I request a Mordawwa sitcom pilot.
I seconded this.
"Characters answering fan questions" is a thing I've seen.
give me something FASHION
Hoping the Tackleford Imp doesn't get turned to stone by a humourless angel like her Lincoln counterpart.
My proposal is that you draw two weeks of my webcomic Merry Hell. There. I have made my absurd suggestion and I can return to my corner.
Looking forward to all of this, incidentally. I've really enjoyed everything you've put out on here.
