It kinda comes off to me that Wadsworth -wants- to believe he did it for some reason. Despite the 'lost' journal that indicates he was attacked by a loving skin-flaying skeleton, and seems to have sketches of the titular "angleworms" crawling out of the forest? Nevermind he somehow got a laceration on his back and no weapon was present at the scene, nor could he have laid a hand on Maris if he even wanted to? Wadsworth is obviously hosed in the head/severely OCD/unreliable narrator but I don't see how you wouldn't come to the conclusion you and Maris were attacked by something in the woods. I mean, even if I was paranoid as poo poo I'd be more scared of a creepy unknown monster in the woods that apparently attacked and killed my friend and wounded me than try to create an elaborate story in my head about how I could have rationalized and then executed my friend's murder?

I think Wadsworth is trying very hard to convince himself the creepy unknown monsters aren't actually real. He has forgotten all about the skin-flayer, right now he just thinks his nightmares are loving weird.

The same journal that also has a drawing of what looks like worms crawling out of the forest? Either into or out of the woods, yes. Interestingly, I think the three lines is not just some Mark Of The Beast type deal. Look closely at the worms. I think the three lines are actually tracks.

Something I've been thinking about the last few comics: what if the "red" thoughts aren't just Wadsworth's guilt, but the thoughts of the creature inside him? A creature which has, itself, fallen prey to Broodhollow's collective amnesia and needs to reconstruct its own crime?

A creature which has, itself, fallen prey to Broodhollow's collective amnesia and needs to reconstruct its own crime? This is along the lines of what I was thinking, too. Maybe the angleworm isn't an earthworm--it's a tapeworm, a parasite, and Zane is its host. That's why Zane seems so convinced he was the one who killed Maris; it may not have been Zane himself, per se, but it was the thing inside of him, and those are more than close enough to mistake based on whatever fragments of memory make their way into his subconscious.

"Halleluon"? Ever-reliable Wikipedia says "hallelujah" is just "Praise God", with the "Hallelu" bit being "praise" and "-Jah" (or "Yah") being a slightly poetic name for God. What's the chances that the "-on" in Broodhollow's "Halleluon" actually is a bit of Hebrew that means something significant? Is anyone here conversant Biblical Hebrew?

I'm not Jewish or a Biblical scholar so someone who actually knows Hebrew may actually correct me but "On" is a transliteration of the Hebrew "און" which looks simiar to the biblical hebrew אָוֶן (pronounced awen) is "trouble in the sense of one step away from becoming wicked, or emptiness in the sense of one step away from becoming idolatrous." http://www.abarim-publications.com/Meaning/On.html http://bible.gen.nz/amos/hebrew/alep/awen.htm My guess is he actually meant Halleluawen, but some-one with a better background can correct me.

If we're translating things, "Kruzevabole" appears to be Latvian, although I'm not sure of what significance it might have. Lots, probably.

I assume you are referring to this tradition which is, uh, not exactly funerary.

Yeah my mind went straight to cannibalism because of the cooked ortolan traditions, but in an odd way I think that's way too mundane of a creepy town trope for Broodhollow

New Page: http://broodhollow.chainsawsuit.com/page/2014/07/30/breaking-point/ What a surprisingly reasonable reaction to the current situation! These choices will almost certainly not have any repercussions for the parties involved. I really like that last panel. The colors and postures contrast with the rest of the comic. You can even see the three lines in the background, connecting them to Wadsworth's unstable emotional state. The angle the lines are at is also a fantastic compositional choice.

So I imagine Mr. Novacek will be accused of Maris' murder and it'll be up to Zane to solve the Scooby Doo mystery because he "knows" he did it instead.

I love it when a character in a highly bizarre situation finally snaps and goes "just what the gently caress is going on here?!?" instead of taking every freakishly unnatural thing in stride.

Novacek makes a good point. Why would the Sawmill have 3 big brutish guys working the night shift all by themselves? Especially when the 3 guys had no problem fighting huge demon-like bats.
