A little horror story in a single-panel comic.

I should have uploaded this in March, for the hundredth anniversary of the publication of my favorite tale by H. P. Lovecraft; The Rats in the Walls.

P.S. It's also 97% fact.

💗  💖... let me point to a detail:
there is nothing frightening in the visual. the horror says more about your mind than your eyes

" the hundredth anniversary of the publication of my favorite tale by H. P. Lovecraft; The Rats in the Walls

Yeah, I broke the number one rule "Show, don't tell". My old teacher would disqualify this and call it a "radio joke" because it works perfectly without the image.

This could have worked better as a minimalist short story, without any illustration. But I like to draw.

i disagree with you teacher (and partly with you);

this is a typical case, after all, when mathematics is disproved.
1 + 1 = ~2,5 / 3,2

for me, a reader, the sum of the story and the visual (characters, scene, athmosphere, the millennia-old tradition of telling stories around a fire)
is bigger than the parts, even without being frightening

that depends, obviously. that sum for a bad artist will likely be
1 + 1 = ~1,25 / 1,6

when the visual not only ain't adding anything to the story,
but is distracting and uninteresting.
