Here's the full comic, as promised! 

Back in 2015, I traveled up through Northern Japan. On my birthday in Hokkaido, I had butter corn ramen in a tiny restaurant I don't remember the name of, and wound up going back multiple times because I liked it so much. After having it for dinner three days in a row, I started feeling sick and had awful nightmares. This comic is inspired by a dream I had. I tried making it into a comic back in 2017, but after drawing the first page I came down with a horrible flu and wound up having to go to the emergency room for exhaustion and dehydration. When I finally felt better again, I decided to move on to other comics. But this always stuck with me, so I decided to finally draw the whole comic.

I read this comic when it first came out and haven’t read it since. Had a nightmare about it last night. It still haunts me.

HoneyRat

Hello this is horrifying but so well written

Amanda Torres

One of my favorite ones!!!! I love the horror comics.

Abbles

Wow! This one is so good! (and nasty)

Beanz

1. I generally don't like corn off the cob. 2. I've started adding more creative notes to my food orders, as necessary. I added the note, "no corn, please. It creeps me out. Reminds me of teeth." While not the depiction you used in your story, I'm still attributing this to you. I already didn't like corn. But now corn is creepy.

LunaMarie26

I HATE HOLES 😭😭😭

Caleb Rizio

This one needs the horror tag! It gives me Junji Ito vibes!

Balazs Szemes

Needs a trypophobia trigger warning lol
