Waiting for Dad's NSFW pics...

sinclairrr

I am very happy to see it ended up okay but jesus christ ☹️

Aurum

omg this one ended so beautifully it brought tears to my eyes 😭🤍

Jackie aka Jax

The clown's expressions are so good!!

Darren Tuer

Daaaamn…that was good.

Gelasia Diafygis

How do you keep making horror that’s also weirdly wholesome

Joseph Collins

This story has a nice ending despite the horror of losing your face while alive

Blazingscourge

Wearing a killer klowns shirt post face surgery is hella funny.

Sadie brimeyer

The last page was a nice touch with a bit of environmental story telling.

Luna Chase

Both horrifying and heartwarming. Wonderful.

Artkoea Bogiatto

how are we so lucky to get a happy ending😭

jswecu

suspiciously happy ending

Brian Thomas

Didn’t quite end the way I thought it would… It’s a nice touch to have the parents there for the sting, instead of the boy facing things alone… I suppose you could say that the Clown was being kind…

Littleartistan

Agreed! I'm happy they get to be together again, I was so worried it was gonna be tragic

Cory

"I wonder what would've happened if he'd finished the circle." The clown buys a Staples "That Was Easy" button, pushes it once, and turns himself into the police.

amanda delarge

Everytime I read your content I'm glad I subscribed.

Horror but also with a happy/sweet ending!

Ryan P

Amazing.

Libby Keen

I didn’t see a happy ending coming but I am here for it!

Jesse Jane

Horror but with heart this time.

Disong

jesus that one got me

Chevanne

I had to look back and forth to see the subtle smile and subtle frown when he let go of the balloons.

Zippy

more fire once again

Rachael

I was waiting for a shoe to drop like it wasn’t his brother or something but I’m really glad there is a happy ending.

RAG Seers

Let's go girls 💪

e. r.

this is actually adorable 🥺

Smæmblockade

Yeah! 🥳 this was nice. Love your details in the stories and the backgrounds, as always ((((plus: 🏳️‍⚧️🥳))))

Amy

Killer clowns from outer space is an unhinged move hahahahaha

okits

McYIKES. Thanks for the happy ending, though.

Jack Smiley

I’m shocked that the ending was wholesome and that the kid didn’t try to kill his brother

Claire Low

The last panel made me happy. Such nice details.

Jo Juszczak

I love the ending so much! And it’s nice, to get some of that dread that you do so well, but to also get it resolved with a nice happy ending.

timidghoul

Reminds me kinda of the old nosleep story Penpal

Gerimi Burleigh

I know Joe Hill had a long running comic series … but YOU are the Joe Hill of comics!

Forbidden Soaps

This one might be my favorite of all time

CAS 900

This was soooo good! I loved how you made the clown look sincere throughout.

T

Love it. Cute hair clip touch in last frame 💖

SpookMouse

you kids and your final fantasy sevens

Eric Setzke

I mean, I'm not gonna act like something like this could have a silver lining, but at least the kid that lost his face looks like the type of kid who is gonna LOVE having those scars around his face.

Lee

Disturbing af. Pls make 17 more horror books.

Erin Putnam

I hope we don’t get NSWF pics of the clown.

Kitty Mewes

The Killer Klown from Outer Space tee is 😙👌

Denise Drummond

Omg. Lol. That could be another genuine horror twist from Adam

Judith Light

Was not expecting that ending. In fact I didn't even expect the parents to get involved bcoz most horror stories often have the horror moment conveniently not there when the parents arrived. And I didn't expect the face was taken out of the kid alive coz I was expecting them to find the brother's corpse, and I was expecting the brother to hold a grudge on him when he finds out he was the one to request seeing his face "one last time". I have been pleasantly surprised at every turn. Bravo, Adam!

theo

Oh so glad this ended happy. I knew that clown guy was sus at the beginning. Maybe I just see too much horror/murder mysteries. 😂

theo

Don't give Adam ideas. 😂

Andrew Frisina

Bewilderingly his face is as good as new. I assume it's Dillon who's the one transitioning. I was really hoping the clown was going to be a good guy in this one and just mistaken for being the one in the wrong. But honestly I think there's still hope given the context of how the clown ended up there for an unrelated kid's birthday party. I can only assume the idea here is he took kids after scoping out the house after a birthday party, but also Sara's mom didn't hire him so there's no reason the clown could've been in the backyard without going through the house unless he knew how to keep discreet with no one seeing him. So he couldn't have been there for Sara unless he was used to blending in and pretending to have been called and hired by a different parent or a friend of the family of one of the kids. But that would also imply he knew how to find houses to scope out for taking a kid later. Also I always love your art, but I gotta say the notebook with the writing really stuck with me with how clean and immersive it was. I wonder if Duncan's surgery helped Dillon feel better about any transition surgery she'll get in the future. There's room to surmise Duncan might be harboring trauma of the event and a serial killer to be, or you could assume the ritual was in fact finished and the goal was to split the Clown's psyche into a different child and the child into the clown. But honestly? I kind of want to fall in with the contradictions and focus on those. Something doesn't add up here, but it's so subtle that I would believe you if you told me the story was as it is on the surface. The only reason I wanna believe in the heart of the contradictions is because the clown really does just look like some guy trying to make peoples' day better. And clowns always get such a bad rap. It'd be nice if a clown was a good guy for once and doing their best to help prevent bad things from happening and using the clown as a means to stay anonymous while doing vigilante work.

GM

I didn;t think this one would have a happy ending.

Marlene Schmidt

Creepy horror AND a good ending! Rare combo! I love it

OMGitsSEDDIE

you gave us a happy ending….. oh god the next one’s gonna be so fucked up isn’t it

BeccyBooDraws

Perfect timing! That was such an interesting story and it went places I didn’t even think. You have such amazing art and storytelling skills, Adam. Please, keep up the great work, but take care of yourself first.

PirateFairy

💙 love a happy ending! 🎈

OMGitsSEDDIE

we even get to see dillon’s egg hatch🥹 and that’s a pretty gender neutral name nowadays so she can still keep the alliterative naming with her brother

OMGitsSEDDIE

i saw the barrette in her hair and clocked her before i even noticed the flag😂 adam really gave us some extra treats to assuage the trauma

OMGitsSEDDIE

loved that. man was genuinely off his rocker so he couldn’t tell how wrong he was. just wanted to put a smile on a kid’s face…. and a kid’s face on a balloon…

Tyra Firesong

I feel the same, I've been going over the panels to see if I missed some clue that this isn't over...

Sadie brimeyer

I love that they got the penguin sticker. Also the killer clowns shirt is such a power move.

Marchmain

Hot dad is literally Adam.

Kailey Carrasco

Notice the contrast between the pictures of the two brothers close to the beginning, where Dillon smiles but Duncan doesn't, to the end where Duncan is all smiles and Dillon kinda isn't.

Rice Tombs

This was amazing. I would watch a movie about this

Dan S

Killer Klowns AND trans joy? With this ending you are really spoiling us! ♥️

Martha

A. I thought it was going to turn out to be a different imposter child that was going to end up with Duncan's face 😭 B. I really hope there are other stories that slowly explain what the circle was going to be for...Loved this!

D. Otaku

As another femme Dillon I'm happy she and her brother made it out ok!

N3pharious

Oh you knew what you were doing with that dad

HollyGeez

I'd love to know what the clown was trying to do, but I love the happy ending more 💙

Caro Eis

I love it for what it is, though I still felt tense at the end, as if there was some tension built that didn't resolve

Gillian Daniels

Listen, I know he's SUPER traumatized, but Duncan now has the best story for every future party he'll ever attend. Ever.

Eli

Holy fucking whiplash Batman. The panel with his face on the balloon got me good, and I mean real good. Well done. I thought that was gonna be the end of it but man, the happy ending hit me like a freight train after the face balloon. Emotional rollercoaster, this one, and an instant contender for a top 3 horror comics from you. Thank you.

Eli

Goated reference

Gael 💜

I thought the kid wasn't going to be the brother, but a random other kid xD

Alight

Dang it, my comment deleted. I’ll rewrite it real quick. It’s rare for your horror stories to end happily, it makes the emotional impact land harder, I think, because the people involved are all alive to remember rather than perish to oblivion. I also like how you characterize the clown guy, as sort of desperate and sad. I honestly can’t tell if he was malicious or just callously pragmatic (Do X to get Y, even if X is awful and Y is illogical). It also helps that I was talking with someone the other day who made an au of a character as them being a performer (clown) with a habit of threatening to go “Killer clown” on people when frustrated.. I can’t unsee it now. Wonder if I should…. Send them… hm. 😈

Anni Vehviläinen

The kind of story where he has to show google results for the case for others to believe him. 😂

Azi_Aziraphale

This one is such an interesting and well-thought out story, i love it

Corrado

A happy ending? I didn't expect it!

Zairenzu

Well the pictures on the wall show that Dillon was pulling an awkward "I am being forced to smile" smile and in the last picture she has a cute little natural smile where if you look fast you might not even notice. And Duncan seems like he's being grumpy because he has to take a school picture in the first picture of him but in the second picture he just looks like he's goofing off and being silly. They both look way happier and way more natural in the second picture. Probably helps that it isn't a staged school photo for sure. XD

Zairenzu

Bruh, from the fact that he's wearing a Killer Klowns from Outer Space shirt I think he's loving all the attention. Like if it weren't for the actual events that took place in the story I think this would be Duncan's story that his entire friend group gets tired of hearing because he keeps bringing it up to anyone who will listen. I wouldn't even be surprised if he through in some Heath Ledger Joker and asked people "you wanna know how I got these scars?" if they were looking at him. Maybe he'd make shit up sometimes just to throw people off

Zairenzu

While I believe the clown definitely killed those kids I also think that he wants to make people happy, I mean look at the little wave he did when he brought Dillon the balloon with Duncan's face on it. If it weren't for the additional context that scene would be kinda cute. But I figure while the clown might want to make people happy she has some sort of skewed way of seeing things which makes him do bad things to make people happy. Though I don't know if he just wanted to make Dillon happy or did he also want to make his victims happy? I dunno. Also, I mean, I don't think anyone would have batted an eye if a clown showed up at a kid's birthday party, he probably came in through the back gate too. And Sarah would really be the only one who knew he wasn't supposed to be there, so if she was inside preparing some food and the clown was in and out before she saw him that's entirely plausible. Like the only reason people would be suspicious is if Sarah mentioned she hated clowns or thought birthday entertainers were a scam or something, but chances are that wouldn't have happened.

Wondrabread's Bakery

This was such a wholesome ending. Also peeped the trans flag, Buffy and garbage posters. He'll yeah.

Brushfeather

Processing trauma with humor, love it. Bet that's his band now. Aww, she looks happy and healing. 🥰 ( Maybe... Dalia? Delilah? Or maybe they went the NB route. )

Chasey

I love the horror endings, but the happy ones are the real treat.

V_is_for_

Appreciate all you can pack into a single slide like the ending for the characters and then the random nostalgic late 90s call outs (I'd recognize that Garbage font anywhere)

JH

Finally a happy ending 😩😩 There better not be a part 2 LET THEM BE HAPPYY

Cristian Toribio

I really appreciate the closure for this story in particular...

Daniel Joseph

This was such a fun read! And a happy ending

Rebecca C

Is wholesome horror a category? I like it

Elijah P.

Power move to beat all other power moves

Basil Leaf Hazely

I was wondering if the kid they found actually was his brother though @.@

Racheal Haddon

Loved this! Only noticed on my second read that the clown stole the balloons from the mailbox!

Jedah

This is the most heartwarming story about an insane clown cutting off a child's face I've ever read!

kordacpz

glad this ended well. good for her at the end, btw!

INKtiger's Wicked Whiskers

Ohh I just caught the balloons are the ones from the house mailbox. That psycho just grabbed them and walked right in

Kevin Koshy

I'm really glad this had a happy ending 😄

onewheelangel

I doubt the body would accept the face if it weren't the same kid. You gotta be careful with tissue matches, blood types, etc with stuff like that.

Nicole Dempsey

I had a physical reaction in my stomach and chest the second I saw that clown, in my head I heard a scary movie sound effect. Well done on such a provoking character design

Nicole Dempsey

Saw the first slide, thought “oh that’s dangerous some weirdo is gonna wander in” and then went to the next slide to see THAT

Anya

Happy ending at least? 💀

GigaCat

Oh, Adam, I love your comics so much. The horror is so good. I really hope you make another big book of horror comics sometime ♥

L Sung

I was not expecting such a wholesome ending omg

Jenny

This is such a happy ending I was not expecting at all !!!

Syd

Ahaha that was crazy 😭 loved the ending photo!!

Syd

Wait the penguin sticker at the end 🥹

Softly Screaming

I fully expected this to end with faceless Duncan not being Duncan at all! The ending was unexpectedly sweet, this was excellent.

Jessica Dillon

Is that horror? It made me cry. (I love the garbage sticker at the end, too)

Maggie Robinson

I would love to see this expanded, Duncan and Dillon investigating the other missing kids and why they were being buried in a circle as teenagers… Such a good read!

Nobi Wolff

This is so delightful!

Eunice

Same! I was truly horrified at the moment of the reveal of Duncan’s face on the balloon, so I really was glad to see the happy ending.

Samantha Mann

I was not expecting a happy-ish ending at all. What a lovely surprise!

Hal 🔆

HE MADE IT OUT THOUGH

Christopher McDonough

When this started I thought the twist was going to be the kid was evil and killed their brother 😅

Maria

I just re-read it, and I noticed there was no "End." writing on the last frame 😰 Please let us have this ending ♥️

Sssssslytherin

That was strangely heartwarming at the end, loved it so much!

Mossy

The happy ending was unexpectedly sweet

spacecat in space

If Ellis is going to do anything, he’s going to give us hot dads

Mouse

I sooo appreciate the happy ending 🥹❤️

Multicolor_Bubbles

Aw that’s weirdly nice for an ending. I always get sad reading horror stories where bad things just, happen to people who don’t deserve it for the sake of spooks. This is nice.

lillibell ☆

duncan is such a cool cool kid!! loved it!

peach

LOVE that last panel ♡

Jaspal, Black lives matter

If it wasn't for how faces work I'd be worried this is a different kid that now wears bothers face.

Sarah Jacquez

Duncan is gonna be bragging about the scar for the rest of his life. "I survived a killer clown"

ArtsyStarky

My best friend has a shirt that says “tummy ache survivor”. He had stomach cancer.

Jeeps

i love your writing. its so interesting that despite the fact that its a "happy ending" youre still tense. i re-read it multiple times to make sure i didnt miss something!! fantastic job!!!

LostLynx

Woo, a happier ending than I feared!

Michele Belle

I knew what was coming as soon as he said he wished he could see his brother’s face 🫣 Glad it had a happy ending though!

Drew Kolar

Love the little Buffy and Garbage nods on the board at the end :)

Nova Stewart

I thought they were going to have put the wrong face back on rhfh

R S

FFVII sighting :)

Jojo

Duncan is such a badass! 🤘

pricolatino

The way I whispered "daddy..." when he got up from the bed. 😅

Nero grey

Ive come to realize that my type is literally adam ellis dads.

jkelsey6892

Very spooky. Love the ending though I wonder if there's any explanation in mind for what the killer was doing, aside from just killing kids

Grendel456

Amazing job! Question, was the clowns last name a reference to Aron Beauregard who writes extreme horror stories?

Xandi

The Killer Klowns From Outer Space shirt and Penguin sticker at the end were so weirdly endearing and tied it together so well. So happy for them! And what a great story overall. Makes me want to know more about the clown's ritual

Heather Bliss

Somehow I think there needs to be some kind of business in the front of the house.

RogueStereo

Oh I thought there was gonna be a twist where it wasn't his brother they found. Jeez thank God

ana

AWWWW

Katerick Lash

I love it! I also love the subtle bonus in the last panel 🏳️‍⚧️

The TransParent

The Killer Klowns shirt post surgery is epic…What a beast!

Mega_Jay

this was actually ended of sweetly and good for her for realizing her true self

Kiany Smith

someone on IG said they thought the first balloon would be the brother’s face inflated or stretched out on it 😁

Minu

I think it's the circle of graves.. we need to know what'll happen..

Ebony Stella

I got Patreon just for these strips 👌🏽💚

Mish

Okay this is actually so cute.

E' imi studio

ykw when i seen this on ig i just KNEW his face would be attached to the balloon

Mally Sevilla

Ok but the ending though 😭🥹

Arkhamer

The Killer Klowns shirt, wow! That kid is cool ahaha

Arkhamer

And the trans rep ✨️😭✨️

dj khaled

i scrolled just to see if anyone had said anything yet about how this is literally what happens during facial feminization surgery. i wonder if adam even realized that. it's a pretty interesting coincidence.

Andrew Frisina

I wouldn't be surprised if he did given the clown contradictions.

Andrew Frisina

Actually I wonder if that's the point. What if this entire story is what they tell people at school about why Duncan has those scars kind of like the Joker thing, and Dillon is wearing the hairpin in solidarity with his sister?

Thirty20Eight

Terror clown, face surgery, hot af dad, wholesome trans future. Everything I want in an Adam comic.

Beau

Adam stop making every dad so hot (please don't)

loomi

duncan is gonna have one hell of a college application essay story

Raskyl

The forshadowing the choice of words was so exciting. Hahaha i was wondering if he worded it poorly. Lo and behold... yes. But then my question is why did kidnap the brother secretly but then not the other secretly? Ill have to reread to see if i missed out something.

Ellen Jensen Garrett

The literal gasp I made when they turned the light on and saw the face on the balloon 😳

Influ Promo

That kid is the definition of unbothered

forfoxsake

The ending is actually so sweet! The fact you subvert the horror in the simplest ways (happy ending, parents noticing)!

Olivia Omura

Nice try Adam but balloons don't work in the cold

Liz

I wanna know what would've happened if the circle was completed though 👀 Bad ending version!

Emily

So surprisingly wholesome of an ending ?? But still very effective horror because eesh the face on the balloon gave me the heebiejeebies

ross

i love that trans flag in the last panel

OddlyNaughty

Wasn't expecting a happy ending. Kid even got his face back! Though I can't help but feel I'm missing something...

Myriad Works

Hubris from assuming the quiet loner kid *wouldn't* have a good enough relationship with their parents to actually wake them up and not run straight outside?

Raskyl

Maybe. But he also he waved at the parents innocently (it seems)

skysyzygy

Yaaaayy happy ending!! The trans flag at the end 🩵🩷

Lily

Traaaans flag spotted! 🙌🏳️‍⚧️

Carolyn Hanish

Clown Killer instead of Killer Clown bothered me more than it should have

rider.break97

Oh wow a happy ending for one, love it!

Andrew

LMAO he probably thinks the scars looks sick as fuck

Darlaimerner

Shockingly nice ending for a truly horrific story

Darlaimerner

I think most people would just compartmentalize that shit until it's forgotten.

MitchellTF

The trick with a good horror is that there has to be a chance it doesn't end horribly, so it hits when it does. Adam Ellis is excellent at that.

Kitts

I must really be cynical, after reading the “so glad it ended well” comments. 😅 No part of me believes that’s actually Duncan.

Bri Seas

Thank you Adam

PaperRabbits

The clown in this one is so interesting to me. Like it definitely seems like he's just mentally fucked. I don't think he was trying to lure the kid out - almost like he's like 'well I gotta for my Circle Ritual thing, but man, I should cheer this kid up since its my fault he's sad. I know!" << insane person logic. Which feels more like what happened given he smiles and waves (seemingly genuinely?) up at the kid and his dad despite having the other kids face on the balloon.

Gray L.

Wow, an Adam Ellis horror with a good ending? Nice!

Catherine Eng

mentioning the staples “that was easy” button awoke me like a sleeper agent

chelseyelric

Happy(ish) ending!! Hooray!! :D
