Cosy Witch Book (Brutal) pages 1-4. Watch the website! Your new favourite uncomfortable romance comic😊🌙✨🔫🙍‍♂️🖤

A house built all mish-mash, by a road, at night. A car’s on the road

The car’s parked in a lane by the house. It ends at a small wood. A man’s got out and he’s opened the boot

Sounds at night—sounds at daybreak—sounds in daylight. They sound like this: CHK—frrr

Man’s sitting on a log, all puffed out. Has a drink, wipes his face, slaps his gloves. Seems to be a shovel just behind him, maybe

That fucking film. Load of balls wrapped in NICE paper

& its close mental association with Desperately Seeking Susan, a film I passionately love, due to Aidan Quinn unfathomably playing The Hot Guy in both… which doesn’t relate to my comic, just caused a fruitful juxtaposition
