\n\t\t\t\t\"The\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n

Kitten-Kin<\/a>\u2018s 181-post Sherlock<\/strong> fancomic, The Science of Affection<\/strong><\/a>, is now available in print-on-demand paperback. (It\u2019s also available as a pay-what-you-want PDF download<\/a>.) <\/p>\n

It ran from 2018<\/a> to 2025<\/a>. It started as a doodle about a sleepy John accidentally kissing Sherlock, who was feeding John\u2019s daughter Rosie. From that grew a story about how the three became a family. In addition to the Johnlock, there\u2019s also a little bit of side Mystrade<\/a> (Mycroft Holmes\/Inspector Lestrade). <\/p>\n

\"The<\/a><\/p>\n

The whole thing becomes a story, growing out of the original gag, when Mycroft proposes to John on Sherlock\u2019s behalf. I love Kitten\u2019s minimal style, which is still incredibly expressive, as the emotions are so important here. Plus, she gives Mycroft a darling curl. <\/p>\n

\"Mycroft<\/p>\n

John and Sherlock go suit shopping and then visit Italy for a honeymoon\/mission. The book is more about these two idiots dealing with their emotions than any particular plot, as you\u2019d expect from a Johnlock story. It also has a handful of bonus comics at the end, some in color, including a retelling of the traditional \u201cGarrideb moment\u201d from the Arthur Conan Doyle story where Watson gets shot in the leg and Sherlock Holmes freaks out. <\/p>\n

I\u2019m thrilled that Kitten put this out for us, and I\u2019m even happier to have a print version. If you want to read the whole thing online, start here<\/a>. There\u2019s also another smaller story by Kitten in which Sherlock and Mycroft are shape-shifting aliens<\/a>. <\/p>\n
