I love these pages, the weird off-model style really comes through here. I gave Theresa so many clips from the animes FLCL and Devilman Crybaby to glean from and you see that influence strong, especially in panel 1 with those arms!

And unintended but kind of funny thing I've noticed as we go through these comics, is that the scripts sort of serve as a time capsule for the stories that I was consuming when I wrote them, haha. Early issues reference a lot of Bloodborne, others reference Stephen King and Neil Gaiman, and then this one constantly refers to Devilman Crybaby, an anime that REALLY left an impression on me at the time, but that I haven't spent a lot of time thinking about since covid. I guess that's what happens when you take years to finish a story haha. Your influences change in the middle of writing it. I suppose thats an argument in favor if having an editor who can keep you on track and not get distracted by your favorite show of the month!
