Hello all, in collaboration with the College of Extraplanetary Exotics Veterinarians I have made a helpful pamphlet for those who find themselves having impulse-bought a human at their local pet store. This double-sided legal-size sheet of paper covers everything you need to convert your home pod's dry attic into a "Terrarium" for these adorable, intelligent and social extraplanetary lifeforms. Topics include ideal atmospheric conditions, diet, environmental enrichment and more.
After a little break, two new pages of my horror comic Root of Sepulchre!

Later I found out they made junior novelizations of stories featured in even older comic books.
Those books…
Listen: people really latched onto fairy tales but I missed that boat. I wasn’t raised with actual morality tales with violent repercussions of missteps - I was raised on Disney.
So a comic series that had moral lessons framed in horror where people got their just desserts was… well, it was awesome.
And I think if people wanted to try to trace back my love of philosophy and ethics, it would start right there with TFtC.
It was also a really interesting part in comic book history because it basically inspired the witch hunt from lazy parents looking to blame an external source for their kids being dickheads. Which led to *shudder* Silver Age comics. Goofy stuff.
Anyway, I guess they rebooted the TFtC comic and I was really excited to read it.
But then I read it.
Yeesh.
I don’t know what’s so hard about morality tales. Almost every story feels more like it belonged in Mad Magazine, not a horror comic.
There is one exception. One story that actually had teeth, but it was a weird duck.
The premise was that a guy was being tormented over and over in the afterlife because (it turns out) he was a suicide bomber and the victims in the bus he blew up get to deal with him for eternity.
So I guess the moral is don’t blow up a bus - or at least not while you’re in it as well.
As much as I love TFtC, this feels like a big swing and a miss.
