House of leaves interjected into a classical looking calvin and hobbes strip
I didn't get the reference but this is pretty good completely out of context too. Some fun absurdism
House of Leaves, it's an experimental horror novel that was famous for having crazy typesetting (and it's also very good, independently). It's about a house that's bigger on the inside than the outside and how that drives people insane.
I'm not sure it drove Navidson insane, but maybe it presented him a sane choice (staying safe with his wife) and an insane choice (risking everything to find out what is inside). And a certain type of person just can't let it be, even at the cost of everything. Maybe this was inside him all the time, and then the house happened.
a certain type of person just can’t let it be
It occurs to me that certain kinds of cosmic horror might actually be appealing as the world gets more and more hazardous, between climate-crisis related events and government destabilization. Why not investigate the phenomena that defy our current models of mechanics with stories of dread gods and fell beasts that pose a risk of life and limb but of unmaking comprehension of reality.
It is much the way that while I do think we should strive towards creating ethical, human-friendly AGI and implement safety measures to prevent them from empowering oligarchs with swarming armies of killer robots who do their bidding, that is a less boring path to human extinction than us polluting the atmosphere until it's unlivable.
Bigger on the inside you say? That has to be a Time Lord's house!
I think I'm stupid because I got the joke but I did not get it when I first read house
This is not for you.
I literally just posted about House of Leaves yesterday.
Love those random coincidences.
That book as a comic could get horrific.
Should have gotten a cane and tell her it's not lupus
Some kind of backrooms?
The book House of Leaves
Interesting … thanks!
Dude this should have a CW
I still haven't finished that fucking book.
It's somewhere in my house, but I don't know where. Fucking mind virus.
Calvin needs more tattoos and a habit.
I get the reference, nice
