      TLDR: I liked the comic but my stupid brain felt it necessary to make that pointless comment, but I learned some more.

      Definitely not a full moon and a full moon would either be just setting as the sun came up or just rising as the sun came down.

      (I used to fly in helicopters and one of my favorite moments, is when we would launch just before sunset, be heading east, and we would have the moonrise in front of us as, just after the sun set. In east county, San Diego, heading to the desert, it looked so huge and magical. Never looked the same when we tried to photograph, but it was always amazing to see.)

      I’ll buy the “wolf-out for any phase of the moon though”.

      I like the art style too. The scars/healing wounds were a nice touch. Made me think of a Viking berserker, but with the dark hair and look of a Romani.

      I love it when people push back with actual effort. Forces me to double check my own knowledge.

      I ended up going down the rabbit hole and discovered that scholars believe the werewolf story originates as far back as The Epic of Gilgamesh, were he “jilted a lover because she turned her previous mate into a wolf.”
