What's with the writing? Who's doing it?

And yes, the kids have finally gotten to the tunnels!

Thanks! I'm bringing spooky back!

Wait... "Some of them..." Only some?!?!?

I'm going to have to try harder.

Is that a certain "hardboiled" journalist I see in the background of Panel 1?

Professor Etheric 27th Oct 2015, 11:36 PM

I could reveal the identity of that individual, but then I would have to kill you...

I mean... I can neither confirm nor deny the existence of Panel 1...

:P

That song was absolutely instrumental in the earliest versions of Autumn Bay. I think I have, like, 3 different versions on my playlist! XD

The prophecies of our times are written on the subway walls?

No, those are red herrings... the Truth is on the walls of the toilet stalls...

Professor Etheric 28th Oct 2015, 10:00 AM

All I know is that the words of the prophet are written on the subway walls... I don't know about Truth... :P

It seems like no matter where you are, there's someone who likes to write on the walls.

Professor Etheric 28th Oct 2015, 10:01 AM

I have never actually written on walls, but I can imagine the fun in doing so. :)

Looks like the scooby gang is fully in the stick now!

It's seems no matter where you go, someone's already been there, and written.....
I think I'm too old to be quoting Salinger :)

edit delete reply

Professor Etheric 28th Oct 2015, 3:15 PM

And yet, there's still plenty of mystery!

I would think that quoting things would be a "too young" occupation...

Travis 28th Oct 2015, 3:52 PM

Well, I read " The catcher in the rye" in high school. I should read another book, now that I'm a grown up ;)

Nice jack-o-lantern. Looking forward to the 31st, I take it?

Professor Etheric 29th Oct 2015, 11:03 PM

Funny thing: I had no clue when this was going to drop when I drew it. That's a happy accident (one of the gangs in Autumn Bay uses that as their symbol).

But... Happy Halloween, everybody!

I know! Let's read any mysterious words we find slowly by the light of a flickering candle!

edit delete reply

Professor Etheric 13th Nov 2015, 10:46 PM

Is there any other way?

argylefox 13th Nov 2015, 11:13 PM

"All we have is this old candle made from the blood of a thrice-hung man, carved in eldritch runes and cursed by a thousand souls... will that do."

"I suppose so. It couldn't hurt, could it?"

If i had the gift of prophecy, I would scrawl it on walls too.

Professor Etheric 9th Dec 2015, 7:46 PM

Ah, so the mysterious prophet is not the only one.
