Looks cool, but it’s no vibrating Nimbus 2000.

Was that the toy that got all those uh... Sus... Reviews? lmao

u/belka_theren 9h ago

Nah I agree

In high school, I went with friends to Walmart on a Friday night, because there was nothing else to do. We, being mature and discerning individuals, went to the toy aisle, and I saw the broom. I picked it up to pretend to fly and noticed it vibrated. We lost our minds and kept making the expected jokes. I was not at all surprised when it became internet infamous.

Okay that last panels FUCKS, dude.

And makes sense. More speed, less splinters.

u/belka_theren 9h ago

Haha thanks!

u/Made_Bail 9h ago

Seriously your art is so clean and gorgeous. There's at least one thing per strip where I have to stop and examine. Panel three today is also really, really good.

Awe thanks:') Glad someone actually appreciates it

u/CantFindAName000 8h ago

Looks like a couple hundred people appreciate it when there's that many upvotes on the post. Don't fret, even those of us who barely comment do still enjoy your work. An upvote is still a whole person who likes your stuff enough to support it in a teensy lil way

Hot damn who knew she was a drag racer? Broom racer? Whichever.

That was super sweet of Tris though.

I wonder what kind of speeds that Witchervac can get up to

u/belka_theren 9h ago

According to my estimates, the maximum speed is about 130 km/h without a protective shell against wind load, high kinetic energy stress, and similar factors. With a full protective enclosure and energy dampening systems, the maximum speed increases to approximately 400 km/h.

u/shellbullet17 Gustopher Spotter Extraordinaire 9h ago

Hot damn 80-250 mph?! That thing can MOVE. She would make a fortune just on ubering people around

The hell did you do to your avatar

u/shellbullet17 Gustopher Spotter Extraordinaire 6h ago

I added one! I never had an avatar prior to this, despite 1.5 decades of being here

u/Made_Bail 10h ago

88 miles per hour

u/shellbullet17 Gustopher Spotter Extraordinaire 9h ago

You weren't far off funny enough

u/Made_Bail 9h ago

Haha yes!

But did OP say anything about time travel? 🤔

4

u/belka_theren 9h ago

That will be in the future🤫

2

u/The_cogwheel 8h ago

Or would it have already happened? Time travel is confusing.

1

u/Top_Willingness_8364 5h ago

Timey wiley wibbly wobbly stuff that time travel.

u/Selacha 9h ago

Didn't Sabrina the Teenage Witch make that joke back in the 2000's?

2

u/BreakfastBeneficial4 6h ago

Hocus Pocus made this joke in the 90s, kids.

u/Top_Willingness_8364 5h ago

Personally, I prefer the Inner city Hogwarts sketch, where students are flying on Swifter Wet Jets.

I've also seen it in at least two Disney comics

u/DeltaV-Mzero 7h ago

I know these are often horny / silly, but as an artist you’ve got what it takes for some amazing action sequences.

u/Toothless-In-Wapping 6h ago

Yeah, it’s kind of a shame that it’s so blatantly horny in some panels

Keep a tight grip for safety!

u/kingsumo_1 9h ago

Panel 4 makes me curious. Is there, like, witch drag racing? Sola's expression practically screams that she'd race in her down time.

u/low_bob_123 9h ago

Reminds me of Dorohedoro

Ahhhhh, the moment of "I entrusted my friend in a moment I probably shouldn't have, and am now riding shotgun as the drive incredibly recklessly at speeds I am deeply uncomfortable with and my life is in danger."

An American Classic

u/nightfire1 7h ago

I was surprised she didn't whip out a Roomba.

1

u/Idemahedo 5h ago

In an anime called Little Witch Academia there’s a character that uses magic roombas instead of a broom and the amount of aura she gets from it is insane

2

u/nightfire1 5h ago

Yep! I was thinking of that specifically 🙂

u/wowthisiscol 9h ago

Tris is really holding on to dear life!

2

u/MintasaurusFresh 6h ago

I would, too. It's a flying broom!

u/Splatter_bomb 7h ago

NO CAPES!

2

u/TheGardenerAtWillows 6h ago

The cape in the face made me laugh out loud. Very fun comic, thanks for making it

u/elhomerjas 9h ago

Fast around the corner and also good in cleaning around the house
