Under the Lemon Tree[edit]
- Spoiler warning: Plot and/or ending details follow.
The comic centers around Ben Bruin, who arrives home one day from his job at the "Bullseye" department store to discover he now shares his home with six posse-tulpas, plus later a seventh, small characters each of whom represents an aspect of his personality that he had repressed. They are not usually visible to anyone except Ben and a select few others (including Lily Feldspar, for that matter), but they are able to wreak havoc on Ben's life until he learns to deal with them.
One of Ben's co-workers, Lily Feldspar, soon becomes his girlfriend and the only other person who knows about the tulpas and can see them on a regular basis. Eventually, Ben and Lily get married. After Ben loses his job at Bullseye, they buy an old haunted house and convert it into a video arcade.
Note: The strip archives prior to the opening of the arcade are currently unavailable.
Retcon[edit]
The author did a retcon, changing the tuplas into goblins that hatched from eggs. As such, there were seven that hatched. The author has put some of the pre-retcon strips as flashbacks.
Current Premise[edit]
The webcomic centers around Ben and his wife running their arcade, Goblin Hollow, as well as their trials.
