If you missed the last two episodes you'll probably want to start there.
Or if you're really confused, you could go back to the very beginning of the changeling's story arc.
Or even the very start of the series if you want to binge read and maybe laugh a bit.
Kayra here is a construct of mud and sticks, assembled by the night hag Granny Dismal to replace the stolen child she intended to raise as a new hag. Granny gave the changling a real human soul, which she acquired through her haggish ways, and changeling-Kayra has been living her whole life masking as a human. (That stolen child is one of the main protagonists of this series... don't worry, she has a very happy life.)
She's been struggling for ages to tell her fiancé the truth about herself. She finally confessed... and it turns out he knew all along. A happy resolution! Surely everything is fine and happy now and the rest of the wedding will go completely smoothly.
Believe it or not, Love and Hex is a comedy, not a drama. It started out as a joke about my D&D campaign and turned into an ongoing rom-com/existential horror story. It's on Webtoon and, well, all over the internet. Also ![email protected]. And you can find a version with a full transcript on my website.

I struggled a lot with Kayra's reaction face in the last panel - trying to communicate shock without stretching into anger or fear. Here are a couple of the options I tried out (plus a silly one).

This episode was not supposed to have a cliffhanger ending, but given the gravity of what she's confessing, I couldn't fit it all into one page; it needed some room to breathe. >!Patrons have seen the second part already.!<
The last panel is a bit dramatic, but I was trying to do a thing with it. I think it worked out pretty OK.
What exactly is her secret?

A barbarian rage can express itself in more than one way.
I was camping all last week, so this comic's late. Sorry about that!

Hey, the changeling is still here! It's her wedding! Don't let the other characters' shenanigans distract you from her story. (This is more a message to myself than to you.)
What's going on?
- This girl is "Kayra", a changeling made of mud and sticks enchanted to look like the human she had replaced as a baby.
- Changelings are supposed to fade and die after a few weeks, but this one did not, and has been living the real Kayra's human life, and grew up hiding her true nature - even from her own parents.
- Now she's an adult, getting married, and has a complicated relationship with her mother.
- She still hasn't told her fiancé the truth about herself, though not for lack of trying.
- Now there are only a few minutes till she's supposed to walk down the aisle.

Green hags can change their appearance at will, which is particularly useful for Nanny Muk, who likes to get around. At least she's honest in her profile.
Lester will either have the time of his life, or end up a drained, soulless husk. Or both. He'd probably be OK with either result.
Nanny Muk was the first hag my party met (technically; Kayra was still human at the time). She took the form of a sweet old lady before things went sideways and our ranger lost his soul.
Lester here is from the comic Feral Mills. For some reason Kewkoh agreed to work with me on this and agreed to my insane comic pitch.

Of course the bard takes the credit for a successful social check. Our rogue doesn't seem to mind.

Charlie may temporarily have the body and intelligence of a human, but a polymorphed owlbear still has no idea how to act in humanoid society. Singing Cricket is doing his best to keep Charlie out of trouble.
What’s going on here?
Singing Cricket (retired adventurer), Kayra (young night hag) and the rest of the hag coven are attending the wedding of a changeling, the strange creature that replaced Kayra as a baby.
Charlie is an owlbear that Singing Cricket adopted by accident while trying to protect a baby house. Taking a Discworld-inspired cue, the hags decided to polymorph him into a human and bring him along to join the party.
The maid of honour, Sassy, has been unlucky in love - but she was quite taken by Charlie (almost literally) when they were introduced. Unfortunately, Singing Cricket’s efforts to keep him on his best behaviour are frustrating the poor half-orc lady.

Tamilda has not spent much time processing her typically tragic and horrifying D&D backstory. This is probably not time or place.
What's going on here?
- Tamilda is an orphan teen who was, for a time, part of Singing Cricket's adventuring party.
- She and the rest of the cast are attending the wedding of a changeling, the strange creature that replaced Kayra as a baby, whom they recently discovered and befriended. (The poor changeling has her own problems, which will probably get addressed soon.)
- Tamilda has had a few story arcs in the series, and has recently started discovering some things about herself.
- Tamilda had a very awkward introduction to Maki last episode. Now it's Maki's turn to be awkward.
- The wedding day story starts a few episodes back. A lot of storylines have split off at this wedding and will eventually come together.

The fantasy trope that everyone of a given species shares the same language always seemed a bit funny to me.
Co-author credit on this comic to my daughter, who came up with the concept. (She makes a lot of comics about dragons, but she's too young to share them publicly.)
Granny Dismal doesn't joke, bartender.

True Polymorph can give an owlbear human shape and intelligence, but it can't give him understanding of humanoid cultural norms.

When you True Polymorph a creature, it gains the mental statistics (intelligence, wisdom, charisma) of the new form it takes, so is it technically OK for Nanny Muk to hit on Charlie? Or does it matter since she's a green hag and has probably done a lot worse?
I am aware that this episode will do nothing to quiet the people who think that Granny Dismal and Nanny Muk are alternate-universe Discworld witches. But when you've got powerful witches, a fancy event, and a feral monstrous pet, what other option do you have but to bring him into play?

True Seeing is a sixth-level spell for a reason... some things should remain unseen. Kayra's potions are so strong, her True Sight can see through the fourth wall. (At least, that's my interpretation of what's happening here.) Not a bad hook for a campaign.
This is a Love and Hex guest strip by Fran Sundblad... you have probably seen her work before. I reciprocated with an insane Tiff & Eve comic of my own.
I'm changing formats. Hags are out, frogs are in. Introducing the two new main characters of Love and Hex.
And maybe I'll do something with the Love and Hex Lemmy community - join it if you like!
