Sent out our compendium cards to our Patrons! This month's was a lovely number based off the US National Parks posters. Neat! #magicalboybasil #nationalparkposterstyle #artprint

Happy birthday to Tanglewood's resident mischief maker, Eaton Guerra!

Just your average night in Tanglewood 😘

Chapter 10 pages ❤️ For those who don't know, Beck lines pages by hand before coloring digitally which leaves these goodies left for us to enjoy~

Magicians of days gone by... Our highest tier on Patreon is the Magical Kid tier and those patrons have a special illustration done in their honor every year. 2025 saw us with three awesome folks who helped keep us going through some especially hard times. Thank you, friends, it means the world <3

As many stars in the skies 💫 We have quality prints like these (and more!) for sale in our shop at www.magicalboybasil.com/shop #magicalboybasil #magicalboys #zodiacart

Happy birthday to the queen of our hearts, Sanjeet Mandel! 💫💜

Happiest of birthdays to one of my favorite queer fiction writers, AK! Their stories are certainly darker than MBB but no less hopeful. If you like urban fantasy (that's very gay), check them out, they're wonderful ☺️

Happy valentine's day, friends! 💖

Page 21 is almost done and ready for Patreon but in the meantime, a treat for ya'll ;) (Sorry, Basil's tagline is 'gay, magical, and panicking' for a reason...)

What's this? Up to page 16 of Chapter 10 is now free to read on our website and Tapas! (With up to 20 available on our Patreon~) www.magicalboybasil.com www.patreon.com/magicalboybasil

Basil Caraway, the boy that you are 💫

Happy birthday, Basil Caraway! Working on a special something that wasn't finished in time so keep an eye out for it soon ;)

Just a little something for ya'll on this #transformationtuesday ;)

New year, new desk buddies! Basil and Aaron can keep you company too~ We have standees and more in our shop and every purchase you make there goes directly to us, the creators. We couldn't do this without you guys so here's to another year of magical boys! www.magicalboybasil.com/store

Things are starting to look a little brighter already ⭐️💫🎆

Happy new year, friends! We're manifesting a brighter, more magical 2026 for us and all of you. Thanks so much for your support- we hope you'll keep following Basil's adventures this year as well 💫

It's the end of the year so here's a lovely little overview of our illustrations of 2025! The middle of the year was a bit...something for me because of everything going on in my life, but I think I brought the magic back eventually~ Looking forward to another year of art! Create your hearts out!

Meeeerry Christmas to our friends and family who celebrate 🎄

It's #MeetTheWebcomic day (thanks for the prompt #ComixCleric !) Magical Boy Basil is about the new queer kid in town, Basil, finding out he- and the popular kids at school- are all secretly magicians! Chaos, friendship, and romance ensues all while Basil tries balancing his own very personal grief

We're off the next two weeks but wanted to leave ya'll with a little peek at page 20 production~

Hey ya'll, we're looking for some good magical girl inspo! What are your recommendations for us to put on our watch list?

Introduce yourself with 5 animals you've seen in the wild Key Deer Florida panther Gopher tortoise Manatee Florida Scrub Jay *Special mention to the escaped fighting cocks with metal spur covers on that aggressively chased me through a parking lot when I was a kid (don't worry they were rescued)

Chag sameach, everyone! We hope this second night finds you well. Regardless of if you celebrate Chanukah, may there be light and hope for you in the days to come 🕯

Ahh we forgot to mention that page 13 is the last free to the public page until Janurary 2nd! We'll be taking the usual holiday break to spend with friends and family. See ya'll next year!

Shubh Diwali, friends. We hope your homes and hearts are lit with happiness and prosperity! 2025 marks the first year that the US state of Connecticut has officially recognized Diwali as a state holiday. That’s one more light in the dark~

A little birdie says...we're back?! MBB is finally returning to posting on Tapas Early Access RIGHT NOW with public access and website updates returning 11/14. Healing is slow but it's happening so we're getting the ball rolling! Thanks for sticking with us, everyone~

Our friend E.M. is an excellent queer writer. If you want very human, intimate stories with diverse casts, E.M totally delivers. We're really looking forward to this one! Keeper of Lonely Spirits is already out now, just saying~*hint hint nudge nudge*

An important update on the state of the comic for folks wondering about the current hiatus. I promise we're doing our best to navigate these issues and return to creating the story we love.

Happy birthday, Aaron Serge!

I see this coming in Ed and in the arts, and why I wanted to make this statement for my students in the face of the university investing millions in ai that in my experience neither students nor professors want… bsky.app/profile/nsou...

Heck yeah zines. We highly encourage ya'll to make your own too :)

This one's for the demisexual gays out there~

The true nature of a Familiar~

Happy Disability Pride month, y'all. If you're disabled, share your links (arts, crafts, books, zines, ko-fi, mutual aid, what have you) so we can share it! Non-disabled folks, like, share, & buy/donate! Let's uplift some voices and help some folks!

So here's the thing about grief: It's endless. I don't mean that the pain never lessens, or that there is never a moment where it isn't in the front of your mind, I mean that it never fully leaves. There's never fully an 'ending'. Some days, it does feel as though that's all there is and ever
