Deep Dark Fears by Fran Krause for April 21, 2014

Yikes! Think I’ll pass on this strip.

Good luck with the strip.

Strong art, creepy cool theme!

Interesting. Will have to see a few more strips before I form an opinion.

Hey, welcome to GoComics! Great style and clever/cool premise… Look forward to seeing/reading more :D

That would suck

Why???

it’s better than putting open pens in pocket point side down.

It’s a fear. It’s not rational. You can’t expect fears to include things like eyes that grow back. In fact, that’s my deepest darkest fear, that They Might Be Giants lyrics will turn out to be true and all those eyes that grow back will do so at the back of my head. That, and that someone will move my chair.

splutch! I’m in!

A little dark. The one nice thing about it being a comic strip is that you can wake up and realize it was just a dream.

Welcome to Go Comics! Hope to read more.

The art is “so so” ? You are the same type who looks at jackson pollock and says “I could do that.” But you can’t. And you won’t. You’ll just sit in your chair thinking you have good taste ..,when that could not possibly be true. You are an observer. Not a doer.

Actually, to interject a bit of reality here, I have a student who has a phobia of sharp objects. She can’t look at the tips of mechanical pens. I’m told that this is a rather common problem in Japan. I will not show her this cartoon.

Weird, dark, gruesome; it’s on my list.

Love it,i look forward to seeing more.

I can hardly wait until you take on “mirrors at night!”

But wait… Aren’t comics supposed to be funny?

If that had been a black string bikini, he wouldn’t have poked his eye out.

I don’t see the humor in losing an eye under any circumstances. Scarey.

Not physically possible, of course. Instead, the points would go into your chin and cause puntures with graphite in the bottom, which might turn into permanently tattooed dots.

This particular strip is almost true to life for me: one day when in junior high or high school and standing in line with my hands in my pockets, I got pushed/jostled into a classmate who had a pencil in his rear pocket with the pointed end up. No, I did not lose an eye but I pulled out my hand with a pencil tip firmly embedded in my wrist. To this day I still have a dark spot from the graphite.

So THAT’S why the idea of putting pencils point-side up in my front pocket has always made me nervous. I could never put my finger on what bothered me about it. =)

this is why I do not carry my chainsaw in my front pocket, I like the life lessons this strip teaches

Just my kind of humor. Good work!

OK, is this all ya got?? I’m going to quit checking if you don’t show number two VERY SOON!

I still have a mark or actual pencil tip in my left armpit from doing something like this back in 3rd grade

Uh, is this a Sunday only strip or is this the only one?

And, he was being nice to a kitty when something bad happened, so don’t be nice to kitties..

He also has an eraser for a nose.

who comes up with this stuff?… must have to be a herpy pessamist

Eww
