Well, there she is. And there she goes.

I actually had fun with this one. Cthulu-Bogey, haha. Forgot to draw Emily though.

I don't know if the last panel came off as anything but funny for everyone else, but I thought it was a bit disturbing, at least. I love writing for the Boogeyman. I swear, if I get around to doing a sequel, I wholly intend to have him be a major character.

Even some of the minicomics I'd wanted to do but never got around to, would have involved him. There's just something about the stuff I do with him that just screams "Horror."

Even when he finally appears, the fact that he doesn't emote at all is interesting. Go check again. This single page of all is the only one where he actually really shows anything. His eyes are (as far as I know) similar in all appearances (until now).

It's only through Emily that he truly emotes, and through that he brings out her inner monster.

So, is Death right? Are there no such things as monsters and demons? Is he something much worse? I… don't know if there's a word for that.

But hey, Morty's lied before.
