I am continuing the storytime from this thread:

First we have the chapter "Tourist".
Latchkey kingdom Storytime Part 2
Michael Reed
Nolan Wood
...
Colton Perez
Do you need to know anything about the previous chapters? You don't! Have some fan service.
Dominic Lee
...
Jason White
...
Nolan Flores
She has two good reasons to dislike curses. One is a C and the other one a D.
Michael White
...
Nathan Phillips
...
Ryder Fisher
...
Isaiah Stewart
...
Samuel Lee
...
Oliver Myers
I wonder if they had Embalmer to narrate the Deathtrap factoree audio tour.
Benjamin Rivera
There are more things in heaven and earth, Horatio, Than are dreamt of in your philosophy.
Willa only cares about thinks she can stab, slice and chop.
Michael Robinson
...
Leo Morgan
...
Parker Cook
...
Dominic Taylor
...
Jason Brown
She didn't even give them gorp.
Julian Butler
...
Henry Scott
...
Kayden Baker
Do Hillian bats fly backwards?
Lincoln Allen
...
Michael Robinson
...
David Gray
...
Owen Powell
...
Isaac Watson

Jaxon Rivera
In retrospect I'm noticing a pattern involving Svana between this chapter, Weird Woods and the current chapter Castlemania.
Luis Garcia
...
Luke Jackson
...
Cameron Flores
And if you donate to the comic's patreon you can have the artist draw your very own weirdo rat in the comic.
Joshua Robinson
...
Joseph Powell
...
Liam Perez
So if the rats dont talk I wonder who gives them their names
Benjamin Baker
They hang around yumans often enough to imitate them passably, so they are probably nicknamed by yumans.
Cooper Miller
I hadn't noticed how many other adventurers were just hanging out in the rat's underground town.
Tyler Garcia
...
Leo Gonzalez
I found Waldo!
And... is that Grin?
Nathaniel Sanchez
Willa will totally murder some mofos with a sword to get a better sword.
Landon Peterson
...
Jayden Butler
...
Jordan Nelson
...
Nathaniel Green
...
Charles Martin
I hadn't noticed the little hearts in Svana's imagination.
She is really into strange stuff for the sake of it being strange. That explains her love for witchery.
Andrew Flores
Totally is. You can even see one of his masks hanging up in Janus' shop in the third panel here
John Thompson
...
Cameron Stewart
*second panel
Bentley Hughes
...
William Wilson
...
Nolan Scott
...
William Russell
...
Anthony Bennett
The first time we see more of a resemblance between the two Blackheart sisters.
Oliver Murphy
Svana is popular with weird freaks who are into tying her up.
Well that must do wonders for Nikol's mood.
But maybe knowing Grin is now a directionless retiree helps.
Brayden Bennett
...
Caleb Anderson
Rex Vunderdog likes 'em with long legs.
Lincoln Hall
And that's it for Tourist. Next up a tiny XMas special with...
David Scott
X-Mas
Dylan Hall
At least Kenner seems like he can put up with the strangeness.
Nolan Gomez
I never noticed the stick growing leaves and flowers the first time I read this.
Lincoln Thompson
It is actually with this XMas special that we are introduced to the idea of visitors messing with Hilla for nefarious reasons. Nefarious holiday reasons.
Kayden Martinez
And that's it for XMas and the first tale of Willa's goodwill to all.
Moving onto...
Noah Campbell
The War on X-mas begins
Carter Turner
SahH
Probably our first look in-comic to the nearby Metal Lands.
And it is Metal enough that I am forgoing my rule of posting only chapters with full-color pages.
Austin Long
...
Dylan Scott
...
Sebastian Sanders
...
Tyler Jones
...
John Cruz
I see what you mean. That would actually be a very nifty game mechanic for a weapon.
Camden Murphy
...
Noah Foster
I guess that bandit girl must have some Etonese blood and that's why she has a hair-streak.
Aaron Sanchez
...
Jaxson Thompson
Meanwhile at this point in time her father, the powerful dog-god Spar-oa-ky, is probably terrorizing peasants.
Angel Harris
...
Easton Ortiz
He's a naughty dog
Jack Ramirez
I want to see when Stella actually meets her father, but I am also curious about who raised her with these Herculean ideals.
Lincoln Rogers
I do love how the spelling mistakes and being surprised by Amanda imply he totally did this on his own.
But maybe he just wanted to chew them a little bit like with Nikol.
Brayden Butler
There are a lot of things I didn't notice the first time I read this. Like who else he made portraits of.
Xavier Evans
...
Julian Barnes
...
Juan Turner
...
Ayden Long
Kissus interruptus.
Ethan Wood
I wonder if Nick has any special plans for Starla. She got named and a full face reveal unlike the other weirdos.
Jaxon Butler
...
Joseph Cooper
...
Lincoln Reed
...
Nathan Carter
...
Juan James
Some world-building detail I noticed is that unlike regular Yumans, hybrids like Stella and Embalmer can't wear regular pants or shoes.
They have digitigrade feet.
Nathan Brooks
...
Samuel Price
The Killer Croc school of fighting.
Cameron Ortiz
...
Matthew Taylor
What if Janus turns out to be the final boss
Jaxon Diaz
And that's it for SahH!
Now for an strategic trip into...
Brayden Phillips
Carol
Ian Martinez
Another X-Mas special but these seem to actually matter a lot for secret world building.
Blake Robinson
Perhaps that they laugh at honest work is related to the fact that both Ash and Willow are very poor.
Luke Bell
...
Gabriel Garcia
Willa is a girl of simple holiday wishes.
Wait. What's with that balloon in the sky? He is also in the main page's cast picture.
Eli Sanders
...
Alexander Baker
...
Luis Perry
How tacticool of them.
Nathan Lopez
Like I said, this ties up with there being some kind of organization actively messing with Hillian culture.
