It starts in a kid's bedroom, and ends in a bedroom. I like it. Too bad the teddy bear got it's legs cut off.

I would've liked to see the teddy bear legs continue too into anything, just as long as their end wasn't so abrupt.
Very odd corpse that sort of grows on you with a strangely rural calico domestic look, with a creepy subtext.

This strikes me as a haunted house, especially in the thumbnail.
Very nice.

I should add: U8IK, that is an AWESOME starting panel. I *love* it.

I think the colors are a little to cheery for a haunted house, but there is something eerie about the lesser elements (the punk rockers, the ball under the bed). The gears make sense somehow ... I don't know why ...

Wow, I totally dropped the ball. I remember doing this at 4am and thinking it looked great... :/ I also remember not knowing what the heck the smudge was (teddy bear foot) but I thought I dragged all those pixels down as drips? Bah, my apologies for an otherwise great piece.

the teddy is also featured in 0345 and 0353

Oh, yeah...the teddy with the cameltoe...

For some reason, this makes me think of a kitchen. Maybe because the wallpaper behind the teddy is like the wallpaper we had in our kitchen when I was little - and the picture with the guns is *so* my dad's taste in decoration. AS a thumbnail, this actually looked to me like a view of the kitchen table - the pictures and teddy just decorations on a shelf above the table.
I like this one - makes me feel very...small. Even if the camel-toed teddy got his feet chopped off!

I really like it and don't mind the look of the bear's feet being cut off. Not sure why, perhaps because the wall paper patern does continue, it seems the bear is disintegrating, or erasing from the bottom up. Looking closely, the gun rack is really interesting in its own right, and especially so in relation to the rest of the panel. All the panels are strong and work very well together.

Yeah, Manfred...
Drippy toes on the teddy bear would've been just soo coool!
Makes me wonder, 'cause things do 'wrong' sometimes... Any chance of second chances?

Title's rather cool jazz.
