Holy crap.

Originally, I'd planned on this being a veiled attempt from Glitch to warn Melody. When I started playing around with art for the comic, however, I realized that a touch of nightmare fuel would suffice.

This does, however, raise the question: What the hell is going on? Unfortunately, Glitch's storyline falls to the side for later bits. But maybe I'll touch on it in a later series?

I was trying to redraw this from scratch (you can tell because I forgot the flecks on his aluminum foil hat), and I forgot exactly how I'd determined his hair. I think it's to be assumed that he tries to cut his hair, and the spot above the ear is supposed to be a BALD SPOT. I thought it looked bad, though, so I colored it. We can assume it's growing back a bit.

And I assume his magic toilet paper telescope also amplifies sounds? I don't know, they're his imaginary friends, not mine.

…Not that I didn't have a surprising number of imaginary friends when I was his age. Because I seriously did.
