We're in South Africa, baby!! We have now met Mphedziseni, Shiana's (hipster) uncle lol. Most if not all characters up to this point will have xhosa names. Some names are gonna be pretty long, like Mphedziseni's here, but I hope that doesn't stop you from trying to learn them all!
We hit 100+ subs, and now we're getting close to 200. I'd really love to do something interactive with you guys, like a Q+A or drawing requests, or something else you guys might have in mind. I think I'd like to officially start it once we hit 300 subs, but I'm open to taking suggestions from this point on.
Also, I have a huge page buffer, so I might be able to post more than one page next time I update. Thank you all so much for reading!!
DAMN IT, I already have to many comics I love right now. And of freaking course this one comes along and I am pulled in to another one. (Not that I am complaining)
When her parents send her to Hogsback, South Africa to meet her grandmother Lulama, Shiana Witlow discovers a world completely different from her own. Bursting with magic and spirits, Shiana spends her summers in the Knysna forest, where she meets Henry, a stubborn but friendly demigod of the forest. Together, the two grow up and become close friends.
DISCLAIMER!: The Hogsback in Ikhaya Lami is in no way a representation of the Hogsback in the real world. I try my best to represent xhosa culture as accurately as I can, but I have neither been to Hogsback, nor have I ever meet someone who is of xhosa descent. I apologize if there are any inaccuracies in xhosa culture, language, or representation of any kind!
