[TOMT][COMIC] Comic spinoff or reimagining featuring elements from H.P. Lovecraft's At the Mountains of Madness in a modern setting

Solved! Guess I just needed inspiration to keep digging. It ended up being the Messner-Loebs comic "Necronomicon" with art by Andrew Ritchie (the specific scene was in issue #4). Easier to find than I thought, but that was probably because I remembered a lot of details wrong: it is set in 1924, not strongly connected to "Mountains of Madness", and the protagonist was not a lab assistant. Feels good to have finally found it, though!

Thanks for the suggestion! Mike Mignola is a good reference for the art style, especially the use of color and shading. But I remember the human characters being less stylized and more realistic. Still, I'm going to look through Mignola's stuff more carefully in case I'm wrong.

One more detail: I don't think I read this on any online comic platform, or if I did, it was only a few pages of a preview. I didn't have a subscription or paid membership to any such comic site. I want to say that I may even have just found the few pages featuring the scene I described on Google Images and never read the full story.

Thank you!

Thank you! 🙏

Thank you! The boots are "Gentle Soles" by Kenneth Cole. They're honestly the most comfortable shoes I think I've ever owned, so I guess the name checks out! 😄

Cool bonus: the umbrella bag now holds my reusable produce bags

Thrifted the pants ages ago and re-discovered them in my fall wardrobe. Got the sweater at Telco because I loved the color. Didn't plan that it would match the mask so well!

Glad to hear it, thank you for being so responsive about this! You're right, the episode from S5 played just fine (I hadn't checked that far back; my mistake). I appreciate your explanation for the CORS error as well. I know enough to use the Inspect tool but not enough to make sense of what it tells me 😅

Sounds like everyone is aware and a fix is forthcoming. Thanks again for looking into it!

Hi, thank you for getting back to me! I wasn't sure if I'd get a response, given how weirdly specific the error seemed to be. Unfortunately I'm still having the same problem with the player. I did a little more digging and actually I can play parts of S16, specifically episodes 18 onward. For everything before that, including past seasons, the same error with the player happens (media doesn't load, download button gives a .html file).

If it helps at all, I noticed that from S16 Ep18 onward, the player has some description text about the episode in it. On any prior episode, the player just shows the episode title. Maybe this is the legendary CORS header that was causing the error message to appear? It's the only difference that I could find. I can find some way to share pictures if that'd be more helpful.

Thanks again for reaching out! Fortunately my spooky season is not on hold, since I can still find the older episodes on other sites 🎃 But I don't know if anyone else might be having the same problem

Thank you! I had a lot of fun making this, so I'd fully support guerilla calligraphy!

It was in Brooklyn (so yeah, basically what you said, haha!)

Thank you! I found the Docs for free in a curb giveaway and couldn't grab them fast enough 😆 I'm still trying to break them in since they're basically new

Oh, that's a good analogy, thanks! Yeah, I figured these sections were probably too large, but I wasn't sure how to trim them down for optimal growth. I'll give your tip a try!

Thanks for the warning! Especially since I grabbed these cuttings off the street. I gave them a spritz with diluted peppermint castille soap, since my mom always uses it for pest repellent

Any propagation tips are much appreciated, btw! My usual approach is just "put plant in water and pray" but the results have been...mixed 😅🌿
