They really know how to pick them, don't they? would have been safer sleeping in the street...maybe, with their luck something else horrible would be bound to happen.

hopefully they can get a discount for "closet transformed into murderous tentacle monster" because the potential yelp review is not looking great at the moment

That's actually a good business strategy "The ones that would complain about the monsters probably won't live the morrow to complain about them."

My brain is catching on Xira calling Sev "Sev"... it is super cute even though it's probably happened before this and makes sense because no one calls him "Severian" but. What if. I also ship this. :')

ANYWAY HEY JONAN, STAY SAFE BUDDY!!!

omg bless you kiri

(also: Jonan calls him "Severian," not that anyone can tell)

Comment by Ely

How undignified. Jonan can never show his face in public ever again.

Reply by Shazzbaa

YES, THAT'S,, DEFINITELY THE CHIEF CONCERN HERE,

Comment by eoforyth

I'm not sure who is looking the most horrified this week - even Necropony is drop-jawed. Jonan is perhaps less so, but then he is busy wondering just what he is going to do with that basin when the facestealer gets past the table!

Good to see Jonan is hanging in there, but I'm wondering just what they can do to save him at this point! I'm really admiring your shading on this, BTW. Very atmospheric.

Aww, cute Necropony, even if it is just a placeholder. I have to ask, is there an archive of the past voting incentives available? I noticed that earlier comics still have live links, but I'd be interested in seeing some of the more recent ones (if only because I missed Halloween).

(Ahhh thank you!)

re: vote incentives: Yes! It's mentioned in the FAQ, but they go up on a two-month delay! That way they're still a special bonus for people who vote, but they're not gone forever. :>

Comment by The Doc K

I'm impressed with Jonan. He's a stick of a man with almost no strength whatsoever and here he is fending of a Facestealer with a basin and a table.

"HERE EAT THIS NOT ME"

speaking of eating, he also hasn't eaten in *checks watch* four days, so y'know what, credit where credit is due; I'm pretty sure I would've just stayed in bed at that point.

Comment by The Quiet One

*screams* Too many eyes! Me no likey! *screams some more*

Also - hang in there Jonan! I have become weirdly attached to your ability to be sarcastic and judgy through body language only!

THE BETTER TO SEE YOU WITH MY DEAR!!!

also oh my gosh I 100% love everyone who's left a begrudging "I SUPPOSE IM KIND OF ATTACHED TO YOU FOR SOME REASON SO TRY NOT TO DIE"

IT'S THE MOST JONANESQUE DECLARATION OF AFFECTION POSSIBLE

Time for Severian's patented "set it on fire" method.

I was just about to scream "Where is Tarri?!" but phew, she is there on panel 6.

Oh my gosh I can't believe the guys fell asleep in a room witha facestealer! Why didn't it steal their faces yet though? Could have done it in their sleep, right? Ugh! I am retroactively creeped out!

Reply by Shazzbaa

Yeah SHE'S FINE, Jonan told her to wait outside (she noticed the commotion mostly because of necropony getting upset)

(I imagine stealing faces (and other parts of the body) during sleep would be possible, but also the sort of thing that's liable to wake people up. So, it depends on how careful you want to be.)

Comment by Toanovu

I have never understood exactly what Jonan was trying to say as well as I do in that last panel.

Reply by Shazzbaa

finally, a word Jonan can actually say

Comment by Meggyc

Poor Jonan. The impact from hitting the floor in the first panel looked like it hurt. I love Sev's not helpful/obvious advice. Saying stuff like "Deep breaths, ok?" makes it sound like he's trying to talk a pregnant woman through labor despite having no idea what to do or how to help. Bless his heart.

The last panel is really neat, seeing what's happening from both sides of the door. Hang in there, Jonan! Don't die, okay?

Reply by Shazzbaa

I MEAN ITS NOT BAD ADVICE if you assume a guy got locked in a closet and is clearly panicking for no reason. rather than, say. the door suddenly transformed into a tentacle monster.

Comment by The Wing

Oh gosh, now I gotta know, what did Xira just grab?? His... turban? His arm-cloth-wrappy-thing? Does he have some voodoo that can help, or does he have a more practical idea? Or did he just want a safety sash?

This is so intense! But I must believe Jonan can get out of this. *hanging off edge of seat*

Reply by Glew

"Let me grab my... my... totally not my runes, but um those other things that are important"

Comment by Kira

Looooooooooooooove this comic too much for words. <3 JUST SAYING. The urge to periodically shower it/the creator with compliments hits hard.

Reply by Ikwig

This right here^^^^^^^^^^^ It's so good that I actually remember to come back every day to vote for it (and to read the comments)! One of my all-time favorites! <3

Reply by Shazzbaa

ahhhhhh gosh!!!! (⁄ ⁄•⁄ω⁄•⁄ ⁄) NO COMPLAINTS FROM ME but omg you guys are too kind!!

Comment by Draccardis

I would just like to say that until now, I was unaware doors had faces that could be stolen. Upon discovering this I kind of feel bad for the door, a silent victim of all this. On a different note, I wonder what else face stealers can impersonate. They seem like they would be an extremely difficult aberrant to defend against since they are capable of striking anywhere.
