I was listening to a podcast and the hosts were laughing because someone asked where Jason Voorhees shits. Does he go in the bushes or does he have a shack with a dirty toile? We all know he doesn't clean nor flushes after he uses it. Where does Michael Myers use the bathroom after a muderous rampage?
There is a reason for all the potty talk. A year ago or so, I had the opportunity to write a one page comic about any old murder house. For this story, I wanted the reader to hear the house’s perspective of the murders. The house was not destined for death. Its original purpose was to be a retirement present for a retiree from his family. Sadly, that opportunity was stolen from the house. Instead, it was transformed into a murder house. Letterer and Artist Jack Van Thomme does a tremendous job of leveling up my story.
I love Panel 3 because the house has adapted to its new role. The house is devastated its no longer being used for the retiree. It convinced it self it get make its front yard the perfecting resting place for the slasher monster’s victims.
In panel 5, I only included the survivors to watch the house burn, but Jack changed it up a bit to include the Slasher and the retiree. I love his edit since it feels like a funeral for the house.
