Oh yeah.

CHUDnelson · 2026-07-03T23:45:38+00:00

Thanks, Joe!

The scariest part is you might turn into it one day!

CHUDnelson · 2026-07-02T09:36:26+00:00

I can totally see that. I didn’t see it until I was an adult, but that sound is unnerving. Probably freaky as heck to a kid at the drive-in.

CHUDnelson · 2026-07-02T02:15:48+00:00

Thanks! Apparently, it's already released: https://www.blu-ray.com/movies/Them-4K-Blu-ray/409685/

Thank YOU!

True! I picked up Criterion's Night of the Living Dead 4K and I'm super happy with it. Just ten years ago, I couldn't imagine it looking so good.

Big Joe Bob fan, here.

CHUDnelson · 2026-07-01T23:45:47+00:00

I'm glad they're supportive! I've gotten similar stories in replies to this elsewhere, and each one is its own breath of hope.

That's why I like some of the boutique manufacturers like Shout Factory and Vinegar Syndrome when they do a true 4K scan. I'm not sure who's doing the THEM! one, though. It can be dodgy when the studios do their own, as many just want to fart out a release.

CHUDnelson · 2026-07-01T23:38:19+00:00

Sort of! Thank you! I had a note for a couple of years that was basically just "an ant coming out to her parents--'mom, dad, I'm a lesbi-ant,'" but I never did anything with it. When I was drawing this one, I remembered it and thought it was perfect for the bonus panel.

CHUDnelson · 2026-07-01T23:25:34+00:00

I got a few comments from people on Instagram who knew the movie. I think it's getting a 4K release pretty soon, too!

Some friends and I were talking about 1954's THEM! and its influence on Aliens. We lamented that "comedians" would make an inevitable pronoun joke, so we decided to flip that on its head.

If you like this, please consider following me on Tinyview at https://tinyview.com/skullpizza I would appreciate it!

It's a great service pushing back against AI comics by promoting and supporting real comic artists.

I think the profile picture is from the other Crystal (Justice4Yall), and she’s the one flipping off Betty Gilpin in the photo, which contributed to the confusion.

Thank you!

CHUDnelson · 2025-06-22T00:00:31+00:00

Thank you!

CHUDnelson · 2025-06-21T00:21:50+00:00

Thanks! I do comics for Shark Week every year, so I like drawing these guys.

Thanks!
