Midnight Menagerie

Last Friday I caught a cold after going to the dentist so I didn’t do anything all weekend except try very hard not to die (that’s certainly what it felt like even if I was in no real danger). So unfortunately that means there isn’t a page ready for today. And also because I have my hands so full with Sorcerer’s Apprentice v.2 I won’t have any time this week to work on it either. So the page that was supposed to go up this week will just get bumped to next week. I’m sorry for all of you waiting with baited breath to see what happens to Shawn, but life just gets in the way sometimes, you know? Good news is the missing week is happening this week instead of next week. The upcoming page will be especially cliff hanger-y.

I’m much better now, thanks for asking, so until next week my darling little deviants!

So far Midnight Menagerie has been all about atmosphere and lulling you into a false sense of security. The pages set during the day are bright and colorful, there is a lot of humor and Shawn is an adorable ball of ginger goofiness. But that’s the point. That being said, Midnight Menagerie *is* a horror series. There are going to be some scary, violent, surreal and crazy things happening. Shawn will continue to be an adorable ball of ginger goofiness, but his life will be threatened by by all sorts of things. I put a trigger warning this week for needle phobias, but in the future be aware some things I draw/write may go into all sorts of things that people find scary and disturbing. That’s the point, too. I won’t go too far since this is a PG-13 story, but I thought it would be nice to remind people what it is they’re actually reading.
