Things are not looking good for Tegan. Encased you missed the announcement last week, we added a new $15 pledge level for the Kickstarter campaign. If you’ve not checked it out yet, you should:

That died fast.
bad matches
i think the matches are very old if they didn't last that long of course this is going to make tegan very angry now
And when Tegan gets angry she… umm what happens when she gets angry?
she turns into fiery red head and begins to to smash everything and yells out…
And then hits the enchanted gas line that santa had for his stove.
and whats even more strange is how it posting a unfinished typing that told me that it wasn't working when i pressed return.. whats going on Scott is there a problem with the blog today?
Seems to be working now. I also fixed your post so it says what you meant it to say.
Starting a fire inside a wooden building? Tegan you're smarter than that. Use the fireplace or woodstove.
I think her only concern right now is trying to get warm.
She's going to get VERY warm that way.
your match looks like a candle 🙂
I think the inks/colors did that. In the pencils it looks much more like a match.
it's also the way it burnt out, matches still leave the bulb shape and don't turn into a little string when burn out.
The inks/colors made it look round, yes, but the rest of the fault is the pencils. The head of a match doesn't cease to exist when its lit, the flame should be surrounding the rounded end of the match instead of floating above the paper part of the match, also, a paper match is very thin so her fingers should be touching, or nearly so. Lastly, the burned out match should blacken and taper instead of leave a burned wick.
The art in this comic is usually very well done, the only reason I mention this is that this 'candle' issue is so distractingly glaring. Perhaps the artist / inker / colorer have never seen a matchbook in use, certainly possible depending on your life experiences. Also possible since it's nearly impossible to light a match with a matchbook the way Teagan is shown doing here, the match and matchbook is too flimsy. One needs to flip the top of the matchbook over, placing the match between the thin strip of striking material and the cover to create the required pressure on the matchtip.
Mind you, if Teagan is doing it wrong since SHE's never used a matchbook, then she'd be getting frustrated because it won't light, not because it went out.
