At the risk of demystifying everything, it's about how the exhaustion caused by Capitalist extraction pushes you toward risky pleasure-seeking behaviour. It's about other stuff too, but in my mind, it's primarily about exploitation of labour, both physical and emotional.

This comic is very brutal, funny and upsetting in a million tiny little ways that only make sense if you've had an abusive relationship, a pest infestation or both. Please take some time to read one of Katie's best works so far, the ending is fucking crazy

This story has been genuinely unsettling throughout (in the best possible way) and it's fitting that it's wrapping up around Haloween!

People, posting a lot of "writer's barely-disguised fetish" under this comic. This is not my fetish, but it was narratively necessary for the bug sex to be sorta hot.

If you're liking the series thus far, I will remind you that you can see the story (nearing its end) continue on patreon.com/hausofdecline where it is also FULLY UNCENSORED. It's art, but a certain class of people will also goon to it. Who am I to prevent you?

Diane, face still skeletal erupts gigantic wings made of arteries from her from her back. Her hair flurries behind her.

The blood washes over Diane's lips. Veins become active. They expand and become fat. They become inflamed.

Diane dreams that she' lying supine in a black void, her arms dangling in the empty space below. Her hair falls as a massive stream of blood erupts from the back of her neck as it loops around to the top of the panel. Diane's face smiles, but her eyes are missing. The stream of blood splashes into her face. We hee her from behind. The stream of blood continuously flows from the back of her neck.

Diane stares out in total bliss. Her eyelids become heavy. Heavier. They close.

Diane smiles in ecstasy as she sits on the bug's lap and gets the blood drained from the back of her neck with a GGSSSHHH GSSSHHH GGSSHHH

I think intimately understanding the labour investment involved in an artistic project changes the way you criticize, which is why lazy young people who aren't good at anything yet lean into Cinemasins style pedantry

Or I take them seriously if their criticism is so idiosyncratic and literarily detailed that it becomes art itself i.e. Pauline Kael

I don't really take critics seriously unless they've actually bothered to practice the craft at one point in their careers, which is why Roger Ebert is the GOAT

Diane is at first uncomfortable with the feeling, but the mandibles continue to suck blood out of the back of her neck until she eventually yields to pure bliss.

The bug sits her down on his lap. He brandishes his mandibles and sticks them in the back of her neck, making a sizable hole.

The bug hands Diane a joint and says "here, chief on this..." Diane talks a puff and exhales, clearly not enjoying it. She asks the bug, who is rocking out to King Crimson "hey, sorry if I'm being weird, but would you mind... draining me?"

The bug removes his drill from Diane's leg. Some blood drips from it. The bug massages his back and says "wow. that was great..." Diane bears a look of trauma. The bug produces a joint and asks Diane "Hey, do you smoke pot?" They sit in front of the TV while the bug smokes. They're tuned into an album on a streaming service. The bug says "Lark's Tongue in Aspic is such an underrated album."

This is wonderfully odd. You know how words like "Kafkaesque sexual psychodrama" get misused? Not this time.

Diane experiences immense pain as her face contorts. The drill pierces her flesh with a CLISCH GINCH SHICK. Diane covers her mouth, trying not to scream. The bug moans "OOOOUU"

Diane puts her leg on a stool. The bug brandishes his drill in front of her thigh. Diane stands tense as the bug prepares. He thrusts his drill into her thigh. Diane's toes curl.

Diane takes her clothes off. The bug says "I suggest we use the thigh. There's enough meat on it that you won't feel a thing." Diane agrees "OK... and then you'll drain me?" The bug affirms "yes, then I will drain you."

Diane, starved of sleep, considers this for a moment. She relents, letting out "alright. I consent." The bug rubs his hands together and says "excellent." He points to her and commands "undress."

Diane asks "what do you mean?" The bug says "I can drill one into you with my penis." Diane winces "that sounds painful." The bug replies "do not worry. Despite my size, my penis is very small."

Diane says "I don't... have a vagina." The bug looks at her, slightly confused. She continues "because I'm... Trans." The bug says "that's fine. I can make one easily..."

Under the streetlights, they run back to Diane's apartment. She looks at him with mild unease as she holds the key to her apartment. They enter and the bug places his fedora on a nearby hat rack. He and Maurice the cat stare each other down.

The bug says "I know you need to sleep..." It brandishes its sharp mandibles. "And I can drain you..." he says. He holds Diane's hand. They gaze into each other's eyes with deep sentimentality.

I talk to webcomic artist Nick Vost aka Foolibuster. We uncover the deep lore of the Abuse Goblin in this hard-hitting list of mind-bending expositions. #4 will shock you! hausofdecline.ca/podcast
Katie and Nick have a rousing conversation, their faces rendered like Nick's White Boys using AAE comiv. The Abuse Goblin is in the background on the mixer, looking sad.

The moonlit bug says "you are so beautiful..." Diane is stunned. The bg says "I can drain you." Diane, faced masked in shadow meekly releases a "what?"

She goes outside and confronts the trenchcoat man. She point at him and says "what's the big idea, buddy? Why have you been stalking me from Month 1 to Month 8? Are you a creep or something?" Antennae emerge from beneath the trenchcoat man's hat. Spindly arms emerge from his cuffs and reach into his shirt, pulling it apart.

A massive, oozing circular wound radiates infected veins. Diane looks at the wound on her injection site, winces and says "that looks bad." She looks at three full buckets of blood. "And this isn't getting me knocked out like it used to" she notes. She looks at the trenchcoat man outside her window and becomes furious.

Diane cradles her cat and says "your momma is doing so well, Maurice..." She looks out hopefully into the darkness. "And these good times will never stop..." she says. She throws out a syring in garbage can next to a window. The trenchcoat man is still visible, monitoring her. There's a calendar on the wall that reads "Month 1." Suddenly the calendar reads "Month 8." The trash can is filled to the brim with syringes. The trenchcoat man continues to monitor her.
