''[https://web.archive.org/web/20131018180519/http://hemlock.smackjeeves.com/ Hemlock]'' is a black-and-white webcomic by Josceline Fenton. Set in the [[The Lost Woods|forests of Scandinavia]] in the 1800s, it follows the story of Lumi, a young witch who, by a string of bad luck, has found herself tied up in the events of the Witches' Court, and the story of Tristan, a poor peasant boy, who, through a series of unfortunate accidents, ends up being her [[Familiar]].
Updates every Friday, usually several pages at a time.
{{tropelist}}
* [[Accidental Marriage]]: {{spoiler|Lumi and the fallen witch king, Sindri. Although it was only accidental on Lumi's side.}}
* [[Baba Yaga]]
* {{spoiler|1=[[Back
* [[Bitch in Sheep's Clothing]]: Ulla appears to be this. {{spoiler|Conspiracy to attempt murder on Lumi can be added to her list of charges.}}
* [[Bookworm]]: Tristan, according to his bio blurb.
* [[Chekhov's Gunman]]: Tristan first shows up in the comic as a little boy that happens to spot Lumi in the forest. Needless to say, he plays a far bigger role later on.
* [[Civilized Animal]]/[[Talking Animal]]: Subverted with Richmond. He only speaks in Snailspeak, and he doesn't ''live'' in a house: he ''is'' one.
Line 19:
* [[Face Framed in Shadow]]: Sindri.
** {{spoiler|Actually, it was recently confirmed [http://hemlock.smackjeeves.com/comics/1208653/3-07 here] that his face ''is'' shadow.}}
* [[Familiar]]: Suul, and later {{spoiler|Tristan, as a replacement for Suul.}} Additionally, all of the witches are said to have these.
** {{spoiler|The only exception, it seems, is Sindri, who murdered his.}}
* [[Family-Unfriendly Death]]: {{spoiler|The first chapter starts with a scene where Lumi ''eats'' Suul. When we find out her reasons, though, it can be viewed as a [[Heartwarming in Hindsight|kind act.]]}}
* [[Incredibly Lame Pun]]:

'''Lumi:''' My familiar, yes. }}
* [[Light Is Not Good]]: ''Holy crap, Simo.''
* [[The Lost Woods]]: Most of the story takes place in the forests of Scandinavia.
* [[Meaningful Name]]: Tristan's last name, Grodkropp, means "frog's body".
** Additionally, "Tristan" means "sorrow" or alternately "tumult/noise". Make of that what you will. So far, Tristan's adventures do seem both tumultuous and a bit sad.
* [[The Obi-Wan]]: Suul.
* [[Peek-a-Bangs]]: Lumi could be a postergirl for it.
Line 35:
* [[Third Eye]]: {{spoiler|Tristan}}, after transferring into the frog's body, has one appear. The eye doesn't seem to belong to him and he cannot see out of it. He covers it up with a [[Nice Hat|spiffy hat.]]
* [[Time Skip]]: Lumi takes a 10-year nap.
* [[Witch Hunt]]: During the visit to Simo's Court, witches fleeing prosecution from the Salem Witch Trials were shown milling around.
* [[Wizards Live Longer|Witches Live Longer]]
