Wow, this comic is good, thanks for posting about it. I read the whole thing in one sitting and got so frustrated when I hit today's page and couldn't go any further, what a stopping point! Great juxtaposition between the art style and the subject matter.

Judging by the speech bubbles she sounds like she did before, but maybe a little more... meaty.

I just finished reading through the archives the other day, now I'm hooked. I've always found Straub's Chainsaw Suit to be funny, but I didn't realize he had such a talent for inspiring sheer terror.

Every time the panel suddenly shifts from cutesy cartoon art to macabre creepytown, I hear the Eternal Darkness insanity sound/music cue in my head, without fail.

This is the kind of scene I always want to see in horror movies but instead the protagonist just runs away.

Either that or the movie gives the foe some bullshit ability to shrug off bats to the head or whatever. Thank you Broodhollow, for letting a stitched-together corpse get what's coming to it by the vengeful hand wielding a frying pan.

Don't forget that did, in fact, happen on the last page of book one.

Exactly. The fact that he's fitting in perfectly is incredibly heartbreaking.

You know what would be extra creepy? If he starts writing stuff down, has a perfectly normal day, and then the chapter ends with a view of the journal and it's filled with things that both he and we, the audience, have 'forgotten'.

I loved it when they did stuff like that with The Silence in Doctor Who, always a classic trick with amnesia-inducing phenomena.

Hey that's clever. The static is actually a background image, and the animation merely consists in making more and more of the comic transparent.

If you do read the fake comments before going back to the strip, though, you'll probably miss when "you have to go inside" flashes over the static.

Yeah, you have to Ctrl+F5 to completely refresh the gif cycle, and it's worth it.

Is that taking into account Opera with how it resets gifs if they leave the view area?

Edit: drat phone autocorrect.

No, I'm on Firefox, which doesn't reset gifs with normal page refreshes.

Gotta love the mayor looking right at the viewer when he says "We haven't seen the worst of it yet!"

Sometimes I have dreams where I'm trying to help people in distress but my (IRL badly injured) back gives out and my throat closes up so bad I can barely whisper so the last few strips are really making me :stonk:

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.

It looks more like an asterisk to me. The horizontal line is a little harder to see.

Exactly, the three lines are converging. He's followed them to their source in the flashbacks and now drawn them to their endpoint in the present.

Looks like it says "Broodhollow Building & [blank]" to me.
