Coming of Age

Hello my dears!
Welcome to December. It’s getting distinctly wintery here at the 45th parallel of the world; dark and cold, the perfect time to illustrate pages like this one (even if we don’t get much snow here – just rain).
The holiday shopping frenzy has arrived with the long dark nights; feel free to peruse all the weird wares I have in stock. This time of year I ship most orders via Priority Mail, so we’re still safely in the window for holiday delivery for most areas of the world.
Lastly, a hearty thanks to all who hopped on the Patreon over the Thanksgiving holiday! I’ve been having a lot of fun posting sketches, production art, and page notes for $5+ patrons; I hope you’ve been enjoying them, too.
What a beautiful page, and yes, perfect timing as I watch the full moon rise.
How long have women been shaving their legs? Seems like forever what with Egyptian pictures and all. I wonder how and why it started? Maybe to look different from men during warfare and spare themselves being killed? Being taken as booty was probably better than having your head bashed in with an ax or something.
Leg-shaving is one of those things that pops up here and there around history, either to discourage vermin or as a class distinction. Women in the West didn’t invest much in it until baring your legs in polite society became acceptable!
