hope people actually heed the fact that Below is categorized as a horror miniseries, or else there's going to be some shocked nans out there.

The image is of a four panel comic.
The first panel is titled “things that are spooky”. We see a book of hexes, a skull, candles, a pentagram in blood, and vampire teeth. Pointing off panel we see a speech bubble that says “I love it”.
The second panel is titled “things that are cute”. We see a strawberry cake, a boba drink, a bunny plushie, and a cute notebook and pen. Again, we see a speech bubble pointing off panel that says “I love it”.
The third panel is titled “things that are spooky AND cute”. We see a row of cute decorative ghosts.
The fourth panel shows Sarah, the protagonist, completely freaking out at this combination.

Otter says “everyone says there’s a monster in this lake.” Monster replies “yeah. They’re talking about me.” Otter hugs monster “I don’t think you’re a monster.”

oh dang, I think this is the first time that I've completed the main storyline in 4thewords before they opened a new area, in the 8 years I've been using it. it's fine, I have hundreds of side quests to do until they introduce the next area.

Oh we're doing Romance novel discourse again?
Fred from Scooby Doo unmasks a ghost in two panels. In the first, the masked ghost is, "HERE'S WHY THIS GENRE I HATE IS BAD." In the second, the ghost is unmasked to turn out to be, "I HAVEN'T READ OF IT BUT"

not sure why romance is always called formulaic* when there's a large number of other genres that are just as formulaic. I've written cozy mystery, after all. * - I know perfectly well why, don't @ me.

“Bongo” Ballpoint pen, pencil, watercolor, acrylic paint, and a little colored pencil.

Our man is in trouble this time, reader. Art supplies are scattered around a painting of an abstract cityscape. On the canvas we see a man in a telephone booth making a frantic call to his cat, Bongo. In the foreground, an answering machine is taking his voicemail, [Leave a message at the beep] --- “Bongo, Daddy got stuck in the painting. Go get help, Bongo.” Bongo stands at the base of the easel looking at the phone. Her tail in the air and ears perked up. Whether she’ll be able to help is open to interpretation.

Artist’s note: One of my favorites from the Spooky Pants book. I was playing around with the idea of a painting coming to life (like that guy in Ghostbusters 2) and kind of fumbled my way into this version. I really draw a lot of corded phones. I won’t stop.

I always thought that it was just because I'm perpetually behind when it comes to pop culture (there is just too much stuff to keep up with so I just don't) but apparently it's actually because of "cultural cachet".
