September 2017 Wallpaper: Outlaws
Shaenon: Last month, my son Robin and I had the pleasure of visiting England, where my parents currently live. Robin got to go to Nottingham and retrace the steps of one of his namesakes, Robin Hood. I was inspired to do up a Skin Horse wallpaper based on Howard Pyle’s classic Robin Hood illustrations.
As usual, if you make a donation in any amount to the Skin Horse Tip Jar, or contribute any amount to our Patreon, we’ll send you a link to this wallpaper. Patreon contributors will continue to receive new wallpaper for the length of their contribution.
And in case the new wallpaper isn’t seasonal enough for you, you’ll also get this bonus autumn wallpaper from the archives:
Meanwhile, the Narbonic reprint Kickstarter has reached its initial funding goal and is chugging toward its first stretch goal! Let the world know!
Channing: Now I kinda want to do an all-period version of Skin Horse set in Ancient Times. This is probably a terrible idea.
Regarding Channing’s comment: Terrible idea or not, I would certainly read it.

Team Skin Horse, Team Skin Horse,
From D.C. they’re sent,
Team Skin Horse, Team Skin Horse,
Shadow government!
They’ve come here to help,
They’re failing, of course …
Out in force …
Sans remorse …
Team Skin Horse!
Unity seems more of a pole ax or morning star type.
Well, she was a sniper when we first saw her.
Yeah, because the draw strength on that bow is probably stronger than whatever is holding her arms on.
Although she does look pretty hot as Robin Hood.
Welcome to Sherwood!
It’s amazing what they’ll tell tourists. Anyway, they would be welcomed in Sherwood. That’s where Nottingham Prison is.
@Channing: How about a time travel story arc?
