OK here's my big ten post, forty page, catch up mega-thread with alt text for my work in progress #Comix #WebComics #MiniComics
One. A person with black hair in a black shirt and a cord necklace is driving late at night. Two. the driver from page one spots dirt Ike headlights in her rear view mirror then Gunnr the woods hag pulls up beside her points a gun and shouts "pull over". Three. The unnamed driver pulls over Gunnr the woods hag walks up to her car. Gunnr: Where is it? WHERE IS IT? This it? Huh? Driver: Yes. Gunnr: Now get out of the car. Four. Gunnr points a gun a the horrified driver and tells her "Get. Out. Of. The. Fucking. Car. Right. Now." Then the necklace Gunnr pulled off of the driver starts to glow and Gunnr's heart starts to beat loud and fast and she doubles over and pants and gasps for air as the other two hags look shocked while the driver fills with determination to live and speeds off into the dark.

I will be posting new pages soon but I've had some serious IRL stuff going on which I don't want to go into on here.

Alvin can entrance people with music but it doesn't always go how he intends.
The Hags have various fringe abilities like human echolocation and body temp control but they can't just stay in hysterical strength mode.
Chewie has hypno stare, but he's a chupacabra.

Most of my MCs are solitary and/or shy, not always both and not always cranked up to eleven but none of them are super social. Some of them like the Hags or the Carpe Cojonés boys really have little choice but to be sociable a lot of the time.

Kallan is watching another livestream. Noah: "Moocifer: I think I saw you at Zinefest but I didn't say anything because I didn't want to make it weird for you." That's not weird I know I say I'm, like, a very private person I real life but you guys can say hi to me if you see me out, especially at an event like that, it's not weird for me. Except for that one housemate I actually don't get recognized from this all that much. Moocifer spelled with two zeros and a three types a reply: I didn't want to come across parasocial and weird. Kallan Bale responds in the chat: I get that there's a streamer I'm like that with. Don't worry Noah it's not you (no offense) I've actually stopped watching him because if it. Rhys stands near Hayden who sits on the bed smiling but rubbing his face like hes tired Rhys: there's one in one of the Grand Theft Auto Games Hayden: OK what do you do there we could recreate it or like riff on it, do a parody Rhys: Uh, nothing it's just an Easter Egg you can walk around in but nothing actually happens there Hayden; Oh...OK....awesome Rhys: there's a giant concrete tent and a classic car for you guys to goof around and pose with I'm sure you can think of something Andre is hamming it up for Pete's tablet camera "What'd you think? Think Rhys just wanted in bed with me? We're you in on it?" "He won't talk!" He says grinning and putting his hands up as if exasperated. Pete: I'm filming, what do you want me to say? The unnamed driver pulls over Gunnr the woods hag walks up to her car. Gunnr: Where is it? WHERE IS IT? This it? Huh? Driver: Yes. Gunnr: Now get out of the car.

Characters in Unclean Beasts and my W.I.P have anachronistic dreams with characters from long past historical eras and there's spirits depicted in a vision but its in a sort of mythic time where the corporeal/incorporeal distinction is blurred. The Hags revere boogeywomen like saints. #QueerPrompts
Alvin lays down in bed and suddenly becomes aware of being in an ancient room with tile floor and a bull skull on the wall. A long bearded man in a robe and turban holds up a clay tablet covered in little markings. Scribe: So what do you think? Alvin: huh? Scribe: about the story? A historically inaccurate medieval or renaissance artist in peasant clothes speaks to Kallan, he says: It's iron oxide mixed with gelatin and water I got the formula from Lirey, the bishop of Troyes took confession from a relic-maker there who revealed the whole process to him, but where he only made one shroud I shall make one to every taste! A down-to Earth Yeshua with a historical aesthetic, the logos or angel of the lord, more ethereal, one like unto the son of man, of heroic proportion, and our Jesus from art and the movies. Could you help me carry it over yonder into the sun please? So do you still have the dream where he's in the other room? Oh not Him, I didn't think you'd become pious. Ha! You know who I mean. A being with a mask like winged face and three or more visible wings hands a round jewel to a character wearing a simple mantilla and a skin tight cartoon girl bodysuit with two dark eyeholes through which glowing irises can be seen. Inside a stone or mud brick thatch roof house the character turns to a man huddled between an older and younger woman and says "give back my coat" The man replies "fine" and tells the older woman "it's in the chest go get it". The character tells the younger woman "you there, help me" in the next panel the being is wearing a coat, trousers, boots and gloves and the glowing irises and necklace are visible beneath the dark hood, the tight covering now falls away in tatters and the character walks past a rosebush, along a beach, toward mountains, in the rain and snow. Doctor Wode retires to her trailer where she prays "Ïa Shub Nigh-joor-ath, Wild Goat of the Woods With A Thousand Young, Ïa, Hydra F'tagn, Hydra F'tagn, Great Hydra waits in Y'hanthlei! Sanguinem Bibimus, Corpus Edimus, Thing in Yellow, Queen in Red.  Hail Bloody Mary. Ave Lamia, who shall find rest for herself in Zion, Blessed Be Madam Koi Koi, Poludnica the Noonday Demon, Ol' Higue, and LA Llorona. Praises to Iara D'Agua, Kuchisake-Onna, and go the high priestess of King's Park."

The setting moves around a lot but more of it takes place in areas that, if I understand right, went back and forth between the Cherokee and Muscogee, who are both descended from the Mississippians. Part of it's where a I've heard a lot of Tongva people are still there. #QueerPrompts
Page from my W.I.P where Doctor Wode has a vision of an important artifact changing hands over time, one of the owners is KhoiKhoi and he's from an unspecified time in the past, another is a young Aboriginal Australian guy in the seventies.

Quote your monster art!👾
Collage of images of Chewie the Chupacabra and Bigfoots including the front and back covers of Fried Squash and the Back cover of Unclean beasts Fromy my W.I.P. Thrud the tiger stripe tattooed woods hag says to a being with big bulbous glowing eyes poking out from under a dark sheet: OK, she's gone. Look, it's been fun but I got to go. We can meet up again sometime but you can't hang around and don't tell anyone you were here. From my W.I.P. A being in a skin tight cartoon girl body suit and a simple mantilla has hollow black eyes with glowing irises. They're now wearing a necklace round gem on it that an entity with multiple wings and a mask like face gave them. They point at the human man and the older and younger woman with him sitting beside the fire in the inside stone or mud brick house they're in and tell him "give me back my coat". "Fine it's in the chest go get it" he tells the older woman. "You there help me" the being says to the younger woman. The being is now wearing a hooded coat with only their glowing eyes visible underneath, also trousers, boots and gloves and walks out into the snow an rain past a rosebush, along the beach, towards a mountain. The Mares of Diomedes crazed blood splattered white horses with black snouts painted in acrylic with knife and brush. From a larger painting.

No but there are Tarot readings and Tarot uses the same elemental, planetary, and zodiacal symbolism as Astrology #QueerPrompts
Page from Easter Sunday where a psychic has a few Spanish playing cards drawn, the two if clubs, six of swords, and four of cups, and she is scrying in a crystal ball with a candle lit behind it. Psychic: OK I see you standing in front of a group of people, you're...um...you're a leader in some capacity Saul: Oh...uh...yes, I, well, um, well-at work, yes.... Psychic: Yes, yes, I see. There's a panel where Saul is standing at a podium decorated wit a Jesus fish with a large Bible open "and Mount Sinai was altogether on a smoke because the LORD descended upon it in fire and the smoke thereof ascended as the smoke of a furnace and the whole mount quaked greatly." Another page from Easter Sunday Alan is telling Saul to pick from his pack of Rider Waite Smith tarot cards and he pulls the King of Wands From my W.I.P Rhys and Pete behind the cameras, Andre and Hayden sit with a tarot reader, he's a bearded man with medium long hair a short sleeve dress shirt a bead necklace and thin bracelets. Tarot reader: I really haven't been taking appointments for thus but I'll make an exception for you guys today. Andre: so is this voodoo? Reader: Oh, no, this city has more than one flavor of spooky, it's not all voodoo...alright pick a card. Andre picks the three of wands from the reader's Rider-Waite-Smith tarot deck. It shows a man in a cloak looking out a ships in a bay. Andre: Hey is that me? Reader: Uh, yes, actually, and "your ship is coming in", this is a good sign for you career going foreward, expansion and growt Andre: ungh! Yeah! That's right! That's right! Reader: OK, now you. From my W.I.P Hayden pulls card zero, the Fool, and gives hammy annoyed grin to the camera. Hayden: whatever you guys set that up Reader: I assure you the cards have not been tampered with Hayden: OK, so thats my fool ass prancing off a cliff Reader: Oh there are much scarier cards you could have pulled

Thirty seven Hayden: I'm not doing a "thing" right now, give me a minute, go film Andre Pete crosses his eyebrows and smirks with annoyance as Hayden weaves through the crowd. Hayden: H-Hey, uh, hey, you guys know the, like, the name artist for this thing? Kallan: Javion Pickett Hayden: OK you just helped me and my buddies look less like idiots. So, uh, you two fans if his? Kallan: Uh, we only found out about him recently. You're Hayden right! Thirty eight. Hayden: Oh, yep. Did'ya overhear or are you a, uh Kallan: I've seen Carpe Cajonés and your stuff pops up on my feed sometimes. I know who you are...Do you know who I am? Hayden: I...I, uh...What are you on? You want to follow each other. Kallan: Sure, let me see I I can get a signal. Both: Alright, alright. A finger clicks follow, a finger clicks follow back. Thirty nine Hayden: OK, nove to meet'ya...Kallan Kallan: You too Hayden. They fist bump and Hayden walks away waving, Kallan and Alane are now walking back to the car. Alane: So did y'all know each other or not? Kallan: First time we ever met. He's on a podcast. Alane: So you watch it? Kallan: I've seen it before. Back with the cast and crew of Carpe Cajonés Hayden: OK let's go. I need to eat and get ready. Andre: Uh, alright. You OK? Hayden: Oh yeah, I'm fine. Forty Back at Alanes place she tells Kalkan "I'll just be a second do go yet" He replies "OK" she walks to the yard with her dog Pax and sees the owl again, it's pupils dilate, it flinches, and it flies away. She let's hee dog finish then they go back inside and hug Kallan

Thirty three Kallan and Alane still in the restaurant Kallan: Does you eat here a lot? Alane: mmn...not a lot, I eat here sometimes Kallan: what do you normally get? Alane: different things. Kallan God, it's so nice go be up here I the city. I'm so proud of you that you really did it and moved out here Alane: you could still do it. Hayden and Rhys back on the bus Hayden: Nooo...c'mon, no. I said I'd shoot some bits not be on the fuckin'...like...Truman Show. We're not the Osbornes, put the camera away. Thirty four Kallan and Alane in the restaurant continued Alane: You could transfer ar work and move down here Kallan: Even if I could get a transfercat work I don't think I could afford to live here. Maybe I should have done it when I was younger. It's easier to be poor and uncomfortable when you're young. Well, I say that but I didn't have this job then, so .I really couldn't have afforded it. Alane: Yeah, it can be pretty rough, one of my friends still lives with roommates. Kallan : ooh, what time is it? Alane: Yeah it's almost time. Meanwhile Hayden and Rhys are talking to two women at a little open air beachside bar. Thirty five Kallan and Alane leave the restaurant Kallan: should we just leave the car here? Alane: Yeah I'll be fine. OK it's around the corner here. They come upon an outdoor stage with an LED wall, a window shaped screen, a flat traffic light shaped screen, Christmas lights, and rectangular flat screens all arranged around an odd stand under glass with a little pole and a hexagonal backing displaying a little round gem. A small crowd is gathered. " guidelines for photosensitive viewers also" All the lights except the center stand turn on. Kallan watches the show then his jaw drops slightly as he heard from off panel "OK 3, 2, 1, action. I'm Andre Silvers and I'm Hayden Bowers" Thirty six Hayden and Andre: Welcome to Carpe Cajonés. Kallan looks on as if in a trance Alane: Kallan? You OK? The little spherical gem lights up. Hayden looks over his glasses with a stunned expression. Kallan: Oh, yeah, I'm fine. Hayden: Hey, I'll be back in a minute. Pete follows him camera in hand, Hayden: Pete

Kallan: I've been pretty well. Allane: Are you seeing anyone? Kallan: No. Allane: Eh, you're better off, it's a pain, stay single as long as you can. Thirty Hayden and Andre standing before an artsy tourist attraction made of junk being filmed by Pete and Rhys. Andre: I'm Andre Silvers Hayden: and I'm Hayden Bowers Both: welcome to Carpe Cajonés Back in the car: Kallan: Does Olen ever call or text you? Alane: Uh...sometimes Kallan: He barely ever replies to me. Alane: He's just like that though, he's really young and, y'know, busy with work, and he doesn't text me to like, really talk or anything. They pull into a parking lot. Thirty one Rhys and Pete behind the cameras, Andre and Hayden sit with a tarot reader, he's a bearded man with medium long hair a short sleeve dress shirt a bead necklace and thin bracelets.

Twenty five: The one with glasses stands near Hayden who sits on the bed smiling but rubbing his face like hes tired T.O.W.G: there's one in one of the Grand Theft Auto Games Hayden: OK what do you do there we could recreate it or like riff on it, do a parody T.O.W.G.: Uh, nothing it's just an Easter Egg you can walk around in but nothing actually happens there Hayden: Oh...OK....awesome T.O.W.G.: there's a giant concrete tent and a classic car for you guys to goof around and pose with I'm sure you can think of something Not-Hayden is hamming it up for Pete's tablet camera "What'd you think? Think Rhys just wanted in bed with me? We're you in on it?" "He won't talk!" He says grinning and putting his hands up as if exasperated. Pete: I'm filming, what do you want me to say? So T.O.W.G. The One With Glasses is named Rhys from here foreward. Twenty six Hayden: Alright, Pete, Andre, c'mon Rhys says we gotta shoot and I guess he's in charge now for some reason. Derrick comes to the door and greets Kallan with a pat on the back hug. Derrick: Hey buddy, how's it goin'? Come on in. Hey babe? Alane? Honey? Your brothers here! Alane: Hey! Kallan and Alane give each other a squeezey hug. So to recap Not-Hayden's name is Andre, and the woman's name is Alane Twenty seven Alane: Here come sit down a minute before we go Derrick: How was your drive over? Kallan: Not too bad, I went the back way. Derrick: You want something to drink? Kallan: Oh, Uh, yeah, thank you. What do you have? Meanwhile on the bus Andre: nah, it's not real, I think it's just Twisters. Hayden: What's Twisters? Andre: Uhh...it's like Mexican food but also hamburgers. Twenty eight. Derrick: Uh, Come, Bud, Water, Gatorade Kallan: Water. Ah, thank you. Derrick: Do you guts know when you'll be back? Alane: Uhh...it'll be a few hours. OK, you ready? Under a spotlight Hayden and Andre look out waving. Hayden: Alright, you guys have been a great audience, peace out. Back on the bus Pete and Hayden sit with longneck bottles and a zip lock bag of something looking relaxed.

Twenty one: the tour bus rides on into the night as do the Hags, there's a view of a night time city sky line and the silhouette of the owl, she and Derrick sleepily get off the couch in the now darkened room, Kallan looks on his tablet and goes to sleep, the artist still in daylight looks in the window of jewelry store Twenty two. A historically inaccurate medieval or reinnisance artist speaks to Kallan, he says: It's iron oxide mixed with gelatin and water I got the formula from Lirey, the bishop of Troyes took confession from a relic-maker there who revealed the whole process to him, but where he only made one shroud I shall make one to every taste! A down-to Earth Yeshua with a historical aesthetic, the logos or angel of the lord, more ethereal, one like unto the son of man, of heroic proportion, and our Jesus from art and the movies. Could you help me carry I over yonder into the sun please? So you you still have the dream where he's in the other room? Oh not Him, I didn't think you'd become pious. Ha! You know who I mean. Meanwhile Thrud tucks money into her belt, a man is seen in possession of the necklace and the artist sees it displayed through his store front window. Twenty three: They walk outside and lay the shroud on a table in the sun. Kallan : I don't, I, uh, I'm just living my own life right now and, um, what you think about when you're awake affects what you dream. The other relic maker: Aye, well speaking of piety the Bible does warn "keep yourself from idols" "love seeketh not her own". Eve was created to be Adam's companion but it wasn't until after she sinned that she was cursed to desire him. In the wilderness they were nearly dawned for adoring the golden calf. Hmmm...do you suppose people might want shrouds with the image of Lazarus? There is a panel of a cave woman with a heart by her head watching a sleeping cave man with a letter Z by his head, and another of a calf statue with flower petals falling. Twenty four: Kallan: Uh...maybe, I don't know. You'd need something to show who it's supposed to be though. The relic-maker: Yea, with these I take some of the iron oxide and make paint to color in the five wounds. Thank you for your help, if this makes me famous I shall introduce you to whoever you like, eh? Kallan continues to sleep. Hayden and the rest are in a concrete tent shaped room in the desert with a shrub, a bench and a decorative classic car around it. Not-Hayden: sigh, OK we're here at the world famous teepee motel we gonna film? If we're gonna get cancelled let's get it over with. The One With Glasses: Well. It's a wigwam hotel. There's more than one. Hayden: Wait!? What!? This isn't even the only one? The four of us piled into a two-bed room for no reason then!? This isn't a landmark!? The One With Glasses: Yeah, yes, they all are. Look you're the one who didn't want to blow money on rooms that we were only going to use for a few hours. Not-Hayden: Welp, tours off to a great start. You gettin' all this Pete? Pete films with his camera, the other one's name is Pete now.

Seventeen: Kallan's haircut continued. Kallan: get something to eat. Barber: you go down there a lot? Kallan: Not really it's been a good long while since I've seen her. Barber: Yeah, yeah? So what are we doing with the beard today? Next scene the woman with the little dog takes it out to the yard, but this time on the side of the house away from the tree. She watches for the owl. Eighteen: she goes back inside Derrick: Hey, honey I looked at that tree out there and I didn't see a nest. Back to Doctor Wode she's now stepped out of her trailer: The eldritch ones have spoken Hags. We're selling it, it was given to us to sell. Alright, who knows how to get on the inter-tube? Three panels of Hayden and his girlfriend spending the day together one of him in the back seat of an Uber or Lyft or Taxi with a large suitcase sized travel bag. Nineteen: Hayden and all get on the tour bus. Back in Hag territory Thrud responds to Doctor Wode: to get on the internet we'd need computers, or at least phones. Doctor Wode: bunch of damn high tech bullshit! Just ride out to the city and sell it then buy gas and ammo...and bring receipts! Don't put it on, don't touch it with your bare hands, and don't let them do it either! Kallan's barber: ah, dude, you're pretty. Damn, took off ten years? Fifteen years? Ha-ha Alright man man I'm just playin' OK here comes the alcohol 3, 2, 1 Twenty Doctor Wode walks away. Thrud puts her arm around a cryptid, slightly shorter than her with with big glowing bulb eyes and a dark grey sheet ghost body, "OK she's gone. Look it's been fun but I got to go, we can meet up again some time but you can't hang around and don't tell anyone you were here." Our heroine walks through the door and tells Derrick as she sits down beside him "I'm just not going to worry about it right now. Is there anything on?" Hayden stuffs his bag into a drawer below the luxury tour bus seats as one of the behind the scenes guys pokes out from behind a curtain, the other records while narrating "OK here we are first day of the tour" and his co-star sits smiling and posing for the camera. The artist looks in the display window of a crystal shop.

Thirteen: she sighs then replies "Pax only weighs a couple of pounds. Derrick: "OK, OK I've just never heard of an owl trying to eat a dog before, I've never even seen one out here!" Her: "It was in the tree next door it was like two feet tall!" Derrick: "I gotta spy on our neighbors now? Alright let me look up a photo of an owls nest...". Doctor Wode sits face down on the table in her trailer with a burned out votive candle and a near empty bottle of whisky: "Ïa! Ïa! Ph'nglui mglw'nafh Hydra Y'hanthlei wgah'nagl fhtagn”. Hayden sits on the couch with the remote in one hand and his girlfriend snuggled up against him. She says "Sooo..." he replies "So?". Girlfriend: "Did you find out what the schedule is going to be?" Hayden: "Uh, yeah, we leave Wednesday and we'll be gone two and a half weeks" Fourteen. Hayden: You gonna miss me? Her: Yeah...what time are you leaving? Hayden: That night, we're meeting up at seven. Her: Do you want to do something together that morning? Hayden: Yeah, sure. Doctor Wode dreams of the necklace chaning hands to the woman from the start of the comic, from a statue of an angel, from a bearded white man in a polo shirt and khakis on a plane, from an aboriginal young man in blue jeans, from an old time Chinese merchant in an office, from an Ethiopian merchant in a shop, from a Khoikhoi man, from a West African merchant in a market. Sixteen: Doctor Wode wakes up, the guy is still testing lights displays counting one, two, three four. Kallan is at his barber shop appointment. Barber: you got any big plans for the weekend. Kallan: Uh, we'll I'm driving to to the city to see my sister Sunday. Barber: Oh yea? Y'all doing anything or just hanging out? Kallan: Uh, yeah we're going to a thing downtown and we'll probably go...

Scene two, Doctor Wode sits smoking something in front of her trailer in the woods:"Drop it in the bucket Gunnr. Alright...'dismissed'". Ten. Gunnr walk away and Doctor Wode says to her assistant "No, the bucket too, hand it to me in the bucket." She then retires to her trailer where she prays "Ïa Shub Nigh-joor-ath, Wild Goat of the Woods With A Thousand Young, Ïa, Hydra F'tagn, Hydra F'tagn, Great Hydra waits in Y'hanthlei! Sanguinem Bibimus, Corpus Edimus, Thing in Yellow, Queen in Red. Hail Bloody Mary. Ave Lamia, who shall find rest for herself in Zion, Blessed Be Madam Koi Koi, Poludnica the Noonday Demon, Ol' Higue, and LA Llorona. Praises to Iara D'Agua, Kuchisake-Onna, and to the high priestess of King's Park." Next scene, a man sits in the dark clicking a bright light on and off from an unseen source in front of him Eleven. The guy from last page turns the lights on, drops a spherical gem in a box with square slots some of which have spherical or crystalline gems of various sizes, then makes a phone call. Kallan is watching another livestream. Noah: "Moocifer: I think I saw you at Zinefest but I didn't say anything because I didn't want to make it weird for you." That's not weird I know I say I'm, like, a very private person I real life but you guys can say hi to me if you see me out, especially at an event like that, it's not weird for me. Except for that one housemate I actually don't get recognized from this all that much. Moocifer spelled with two zeros and a three types a reply: I didn't want to come across parasocial and weird. Kallan Bale responds in the chat: I get that there's a streamer I'm like that with. Don't worry Noah it's not you (no offense) I've actually stopped watching him because if it. Twelve. The chat continues: moocifer: "at Kallum Bale Oh are you doing OK?" Jemmy 360 "you shoukd make a zine. I'd but it" Paul iz All: "You hear that chat? He says it's OK to stalk him!" Kallum Bale: "Yeah I'm doing good". The streamer reads "Rocko's Modern Basilisk asks 'Are you into zines?' I'm getting into them that was kind of what drew me to zine fest, just like curiosity". Kallan gets a reminder on his phone of a two o clock barber shop appointment. New scene the woman who texted Kallan earlier is sitting by thd window with a woman friend. The friend says "Hi Derrick" she says "Hey Babe if you're going out there can you kinda look and see if there's an owls nest?" Derrick says "Hey...what?"

Five, the car continues speeding into the night and we switch to an unknown man getting off work going home and laying on the bed looking at his device. He is recommended a video, hots not interested and gets a text saying "hey" with a smiley face emoji Six. Kallan receives a text from a woman who resembles him a little if I drew her right. "HEY 🙂 are you still coming Sunday? Kallan: if you still want to Her: of course! Kallan: What time should I come down there. Her: whenever is fine. A question mark is above Kallan's head. Kallan : 12? Her: OK Kallan: OK I'll see you then LY. Her: LY2. A streamer is playing a video game. Stramer: so chat we did we already go this way? This looks familiar have - oh no...OK so I just looks similar indigo, in, um, I dig zero but, ah fuck. OK I think I can go for maybe another hour then I have to do research for my next video. Would you guys be to for a research stream? OK...OK...I'm seeing a lot of yes-es and maybes. Kallan Bale: 'I you've gotta do it anyway the only difference is if you decide to leave the camera on' yeah that's true. Seven. Streamer: "OK. We're gonna go for another hour then we'll see what the vibes are." The woman from the previous page is washing dishes and hears her little dog yipping. "Hey you need to go out." She attaches the dog's leash and goes outside where she sees a great horned owl staring at them. Eight. The owl raises its wings like it might lunge at the woman's small puppy and she picks the puppy up and goes back inside. The next panels are in a non descript room. Man one says "We need somewhere to shoot like an intro or just footage of you guys around each city." Man two: "Yeah B roll" Man one: "No that's, uh...that's still not what B roll is." Man three throws a ball up in the air and it konks him on the eye: "why don't we -oop- uh, just like talk to the locals when we get there and find out where the real cool stuff is not all the touristy stuff?" Man one: I mean...I see what you're saying and maybe we'll find something like that, great, but let's have a plan to fall back on so we're not just wandering around getting off schedule" Hayden Bowers, last seen I Signal Tower says: "eh...do we really need go though?"

One. A person with black hair in a black shirt and a cord necklace is driving late at night. Two. the driver from page one spots dirt Ike headlights in her rear view mirror then Gunnr the woods hag pulls up beside her points a gun and shouts "pull over". Three. The unnamed driver pulls over Gunnr the woods hag walks up to her car. Gunnr: Where is it? WHERE IS IT? This it? Huh? Driver: Yes. Gunnr: Now get out of the car. Four. Gunnr points a gun a the horrified driver and tells her "Get. Out. Of. The. Fucking. Car. Right. Now." Then the necklace Gunnr pulled off of the driver starts to glow and Gunnr's heart starts to beat loud and fast and she doubles over and pants and gasps for air as the other two hags look shocked while the driver fills with determination to live and speeds off into the dark.

That's pretty much what Candle Jar is about. #QueerPrompts
Front cover of Candle Jar, a white Candle lit in a little jar with an orangey sphere of light against a textured white background and the title above it in blue cursive. Back cover of Candle Jar a deers head against a dark tree filled skyline with a bright blue sky and white clouds Page from Candle Jar Dr. Joseph Schalman opens his kitchen cabinet door where there a possum hisding at him, which vanishes a moment later Page from Candle Jar James and Kirk eating cereal Kirk: The complicated answer is that changing my mind about the supernatural woukd require free will but free will can't exist in a naturalistic universe. Thoughts are just electricity moving around I the brain and electrons are governed by the same laws of physics as everything else. So either the supernatural exists...or it doesn't but it's not up to me whether or not .I believe in it anyway. James: OK but there's believing in God or whatever and then there's believing you can cast spells. Kirk: Every major religion believes in it, even the ones that forbid it, and there's stuff like faith healing but that's usually stage magic. Theres even the theory that prehistoric art sites like the Lascaux cave and Gobekli Tepe were temples where they did magick. Panels with Doctor Wode in a trance, Emmanuel praying, Alvin playing his panpipes, a bigfoot chewing herbs and clacking rocks together, and Mr. Betancourt the babalawo from Easter Sunday lighting a candle.
