The epilogue is now complete. This marks the end of The Bikini Bottom Horror. I don’t know what to say except thank you for being here to support me. This has been a truly amazing experience for me and I’ve cherished every moment of it. Updates on future plans are coming soon. I know there will be questions about what comes next in this world, and I will have answers but for now I’d like to give the conclusion of this story, that I first planned almost one and a half years ago, some time to breathe. Again, from the bottom of my heart, thank you!

Looks like the hopes for a happy ending have been crushed, but very nice!

N. Harmonik

...How much of this was planned from the beginning, author?

Adrian Bartoli

It keeps getting better with every page

Dude your storytelling of this has been incredibly effective and your artwork has gotten so good

N. Harmonik

Er, why did SpongeBob switch his spatula from his right hand to his left hand between the sixth and seventh panels?

AMorgan178

HOLY SHIT....HOOOLY SHIIIIIT

N. Harmonik

Would I be correct in assuming that the burning and blackening of that patty is symbolic?

Epilogue? More like new story arc

stillinthesimulation

I love external means of building tension like a kettle whistling or a pot boiling over while an argument between characters reaches its own boiling point. My favourite example might be in The Silence Of The Lambs when the jet engine is whirring and accelerating in intensity in the background while Hannibal Lector is verbally torturing the senator about her missing daughter.

Man this is so good, your doing a fantastic job building the tension of the situation

Michael Campbell

So... Spongebob was behind the whole thing...

N. Harmonik

*notices SpongeBob touching Sandy in the last panel* ...Sandy, I hope you have a method for dealing with, uh, unwanted cells that might have hitched a ride on you, otherwise, you might end up dying horrifically. So, um, does the time card count as one of the eight pages of the epilogue?

I stalk the internet

Are you shifting from cosmic horror to a mystery? If so, on a scale of 1 to 10, how hard will Sandy's jaw hit the pavement when she finds out Spongebobs bigger plans?

I’m curious if this is going to produce an entire new story itself, though I am aware Stillinthesimulation has said it’s just an epilogue. Only time will tell, but I’m very intrigued at the least, if not actively either terrified/worried where this is going. I liked SpongeBob’s character and I don’t wanna see him turning into a villain D:

Aww... she resigned herself.

Wait, which part of that last entry was all in her head? The whole thing or just the last few panels?

N. Harmonik

Huh... SpongeBob actually seemed a little sad in the last panel.

I’m also curious what Pearl is going to do...If Sandy tells her the truth, I don’t think SB can stop her from eating him whole and then just letting her own stomach dissolve him. Does sandy really believe what SB said?

Anonymous

Hm. Not quite sure I understand, was all of the panels with her killing the spongebobs fake?

Daisy Grace

Didn’t notice the black ribbons until the lates panel. Nice touch ☺️

Is the black ribbons like a thing that the survivors made as a “remember the accident” thing? If so, awesome.

It's a shame that spongebob turned out to be a villain, I really liked him. As 6 out of 8 pages of the epilogue have been published, I assume that the BBH story will end ambiguously and the truth about what really happened is up to the reader's interpretation? Also, I hope you continue the story mate! Love this comic series so much

stillinthesimulation

I’m not going to spoil the ending but there are more than 2 pages left. My initial 8 page estimate was based on drafts that have since been expanded. There’s probably something like 5 pages left.

stillinthesimulation

Points to whoever can name the movie that I directly referenced with the “Here, take a pretty patty” line from two weeks ago.

This is really sad to me. It sucks that she’s going home, but do you know how amazing a series of squidward hunting down things like King Neptune and the Alaskan Bull Worm would be? I would personally love that!

N. Harmonik

Wouldn't taking out like a huge chunk of the population of Bikini Bottom be bad for SpongeBob's business?

Anonymous

He’s trying to repair it, and Patrick is the one everyone blames.

If you’re wondering where this week’s page is, it’s coming. Hoping to have it up sometime this weekend. I’ve been really swamped with work (including a cool film gig I’ll be excited to share with you all at some point) and I don’t want to half ass the last few pages.

Is it over now? that's 9 pages

It’s coming to an end... Sandy really left...

Heck of a ride, Thank you! To borrow from the ending of one of my favorite comics of all time, "Alas"

onekingdom1

I still remember when I saw page 3 floating around reddit for the first time. You forget how much time really passes.

JustBeatMeWithAChair

Something born from a meme became such an adventure. Thank you for the ride.

CrossfireCam

Incredible job with this entire comic. I’m excited to see what projects you put out in future!

Anonymous

This is an absolute masterpiece. I'm extremely fortunate to have been along for this ride. Thank you so much for making these and giving me something so exciting to look forward to. You're an amazing writer, artist, and creator and I can't wait for what you make in the future.

N. Harmonik

Wait... What's that object in the purple suitcase in the last panel on the tenth page??!

Anonymous

Amazing journey, but it kinda looks like... a starfish... in a tube... inside Sandys bag. She’s a scientist... is she studying something?

Anonymous

Dang, i was here from page 1 and this story did not disappoint. I appreciate the intrigue left at the end. You really leveled up on the art style. I can't wait to see what else you have in store!

N. Harmonik

Are we ever going to find out how SpongeBob learned what Krabby Patties are made of?

bigqueenlimousine

I've been looking for a proper take on a cosmic horror story in visual form for ages, and none of them ever felt right. It always ended up a little too "the good guys win" for it to be properly cosmic horror, you know? Real cosmic horror isn't just big monsters and long words, it's a feeling of hopelessness and the frustration of not having all the answers. And you somehow did it with Spongebob fanfiction. The ending made me gasp. I hate you. Take my money, live long and well.

This gives me a vibe that Sandy actually died when she was first exposed to this and she’s just been living in a fantasy this whole time. This is so bizarre to me. This whole journey has been amazing.

Kangman

Oh god, this is good. Really love the reference to the illusion fog thing from the tortured ones

This is so incredible. I read this all morning long. I am at the doctors and when they called out for someone named “Patrick”, I jumped! Hahaha I don’t know how I missed this amazing work over the past year but I’m happy to support you now! You are so talented, my Friend. Love Spongebob and love your work.
