Oh. I am impressed at some of the art direction this update has taken, it is exceptional, visual and incredible. Thank you BC. Thank you for creating this masterpiece.

foreverVoyager

WOW! loved that fake out with RF, my favorite not-so-little apocalypse groupie! But more importantly, what secret does Cassandra’s truth hold? Will the Perfect Neighborhood find new color as winter descends? And what fate lies in store for the worlds worst fiancé? All this and more coming in the next installment of Dusk Acres??!?

cherrydad

HOOOOOOOO shit....

Hadou Shinken

Well...goddamn...the world within the world~ o.o Dope update, 1,000,000/10

Bluedude

Oh, i feel should have seen that comming!

Just a Beagle

Oh my god, I'm kind of losing it at all the details in pacing that like. Made this update spectacular. Dropping Cassanda's name on that very tender beat (not to mention Frank's plea, jesuschristimweak), the very cool usage of the panel layout for the monochrome + red tinged panel. I appreciate how much this update stuck with the emotional core of the main leads as the focus while it fully enters the climax it seems. Fantastic stuff. I'm very happy to be reading this comic and getting to see it through in the moment. ALSO... the uh... last bits with Otis and Allister were. Unexpectedly very effective <///< Good stuff.

Erobos

so many mixed feelings i have seeing Allister give into his desires for Otis... its hot but at the same time I'm jealous, jealous of seeing him with him and jealous as I'm sure frank would be, but I guess we all know these are Otis's last moments, guess its now or never

RPL

Wow! Great episode! Also I just wanted to tell little Frank is the cutest ever! And although everything looks pretty dire now, I wish the best for Frank and Allister. They're very charismatic and such good characters! Thanks for your work, BC!

Erobos

also... i wonder if allister is really eating him right now...

Crowbar

You're gonna give me a heart attack BC, every update I feel like I'm having a heart attack! But its so good. Luv how that goodie two shoes Agent J is now smoking and drinking, heh, its subtle you might not notice if you didn't pay attention. And Agent RF is such a card, I burst out laughing when Frank brushes past him. Agent S seems <i>really</i> excited for the end of the world, thinking he's lost it hahaha, do love that grin though. But most of all all that stuff happening with Otis is so powerful, the image of him roasting of the grill is so grim I immediately felt bad. Poor bloke.

Cid

I'm hoping that Otis survives this. Allisters plan needs to work! Reunite the Bellows family!

Steve

hes just admiring the sights! promise!

Shiny Skunk

DAMN this update is GOOD. Very excited to see more of this macro psychedelephant.

Henry Whiteman

i am so impressed that even with the chaos of some many characters. BC, you has not lost the emotional core of the story. things are tying together so nicely, i am so deeply compelled.

Fe5ter

Love the nickname "Murderous Gremlin"

Meanbeard

Run piggy run, but you can't find where your dear daddy hides. To many forces feed off his sins, as your partner's dreams at long last are comes to pass. May you all pass from the old world into the new by the flames of your heart.

Erobos

I KEEP COMING BACK TO RE-READ THIS! god I envy otis!! i want that polar bear to want me like he wants that ham! The way he kisses him! and drops to his knees to take that sausage!!! ITS MADDENING!! I've seriously come to adore allister!

Rodney Talon

So bellows dad sold his own kind to cannibals on the dl, who operated through dirty cops Bellows mom had an affair with one of them....hold on who is first dirty cop hosting. Sharp claws... Otis has been grooming Allister...maybe...hard to say Allister is undersway by whatever is looking like otis now. Which might be the real him or just another false persona. Likely he doesn't know. Because his life's been so screwed up. Am i following?

Steve

I must say, panel 35 of this update has to be hands down one of my favorite in the entire comic to date. I love the imagery in it. It spoke volumes. The people in that town were living nothing but a facade. A front. Fair play to Otis for owning up to what he's done, albeit much too late, he still did it. Admitting to torturing and killing Cannibals. A job he would then pass untoward S.

Retronicus

Wow this really is the end game... I have no idea what Allister is planning to do, did he abandon his plan in the end? I still cannot tell if RF's god stuff is real or all make believe bullshit... but he is a goof hehe Frank might have to save the day, I am rooting for ya bud Someone has gotta put Dr Orlando in a headlock

cherrydad

just along for the ride at this point...can't wait to see how this ends <3

Robert Smith

ARRRGGGHH ALLISTER AND MR BELLOWS sex isn't... something inherently wrong and evil... I can see why Allister has been so repressed for so long, Otis fed off it and made him worse, by trying to force him into the role of this pure individual disconnected from the material... I hope Allister has learned enough that he can resist this. Frank... you found your mum again, I'm so glad you worked it out... I hope that he is able to give Allister the lesson he wanted to for so long, that it is OK to be an animal, to have instincts beneath. Glad it was the Athame, and Allister has a plan. I believe in him. I do

Robert Smith

Also- just noticed the symbol in the clock? That was the one from the cult Allister was born into- Cannibal King imagery abounds

Robert Smith

More and more I am curious about Otis' relationship with Mrs Bellows as well. There is something wrong with his description in this fake world, of her as someone he didn't carnally desire. It doesn't... fit... with his other actions. I think both Allister and Otis are being twisted by the Fire to think that their animal desires are the only that matter- physical need without emotional weight to them.

Robert Smith

Otis has likely been twisted longer, if the Red Ritual is what let this in in the first place- it has been polluting his world view for a while in a way that prevents him from understanding Allister

Rodney Talon

Why the torture? And i thought point of cannibals' objection was religious/repression of natural drives. not deliberate systemic abuse

Steve

I think it's more that he doesn't want to believe allister is just naturally a kindhearted person. That doesn't align with his view of the world. Like he's desperate to be right, to watch allister crumble. But if Otis had left Allister alone it was bound to happen. Maybe Otis is struggling to believe that he made someone a better person, in a sense

cherrydad

I had a thought about the clock, but what if the clock face was always that watch that Otis wears? And so as Otis is burning away, Allister is now taking it's place

Robert Smith

Re Otis... it's so hard to tell. Both the Fire and him are full of inherent contradiction, that they desire something impossible whilst actively trying to destroy that thing via their decisions. After all, had Otis not tried to stop APEX... the world would have become his dream one. Heterosexuality and people without carnal impulses. He acted to attempt to pull down his own utopia because it didn't fit his own exacting standards Re the clock that is very possible- I think that it is morphing into a representation of Allister's dreamscape, and a symbol that represents his own desires. For Otis, that was a desire to go back to a time before the world made him see how dark it could be- a watch really does symbolise that. For Allister, the Sun is very much a take on his desire to be 'special', something we have seen throughout

Steve

Re: a part of me wants what allister desires, to come true. No explanation needed, you already know why. Ultimately I believe what The Operator is doing now, will work in some way to benefit everything and everyone that has been affected by the M.A.D chips. Essential rendering them useless. Maybe whatever code she's put in will override them to the point they burn themselves out, that's just my thought. I can see a moment of peace on the horizon, however brief it may be. Peace and reflection

Robert Smith

Re Operator- I might be wrong, but I think that she did what she said she was doing before- to break the shielding and allow someone to enter the estate. I imagine it is only effective on the protection of the Mansion itself

Steve

Ah forget most of what I said then lol

Robert Smith

I didn't notice re them being Otis' parents! Thanks for pointing that out!! My temptation was to see that scene as a child's fears- your dad doesn't love you and is just focused on money, your mum wants to fuck someone else, the church is evil and a cult, and all of the predators are hungry for you- magnified via an adult's world weariness, and being possessed by an entity that magnifies physical desire above any kind of rational thinking. I think the 'Otis' is the last shell of Otis' dreams possessed by the Fire - an awareness that this host's use is coming to an end, and is so bringing out the worst in Allister- magnifying his fears as well as his physical desires.

Robert Smith

OK. My crazy theory of the update is that we still haven't met Otis. This creature is an amalgamation of Otis' dream, combined with the Fire that has fed on what *is* Otis- ie the thing in the grill. What Otis is saying, the things he is trying to persuade Allister of... these are Allister's fears. The Sun in the Church is literally a symbol from Allister's childhood, made manifest. The scenes he is showing him are of a cop's view of the world, with none of the emotional depth. Otis' description of Cassandra is wrong- and his statement on Frank seems provably incorrect- we saw that Otis genuinely loved Frank as a kid, and didn't become this cold monster until Mrs Bellows 'died'. Moreover- Otis knows that Allister has animalistic impulses- we even saw Allister say this to him in a flashback when he was in the church! What this Otis is saying are Allister's fears- that if he told Otis he had feelings for him, he would regard him as somehow broken. That there is a disgusting heart to everyone is something he is struggling with after talking with S. That he should be special, and disconnected from his carnal desires, but he isn't, and this is his failing. The creature is feeding on Allister's fears to make him vulnerable for possession- to bring out the impulses it can feed on, and twist. Again- we are yet to meet Otis- the real Otis- except in flashbacks

Robert Smith

... I realise I didn't talk about Frank much but DAMN this was a good update for him. He truly cares so much, no matter how hard he might try and fake it, and he won't just let someone sacrifice themselves if he can take the blow instead. He worked out who the hacker was, and that his mother was talking to him, based on clues his father never got. It's great to see Frank back in his element- this supernatural stuff might have thrown him, but he never stopped listening to his heart, and I love that about him. Sorry for all the comments I just... lots of feelings I want to put in words

Rodney Talon

Not fears more...desires He obviously been hero worshipping otis from thestart. You aren't a homebreaker with a brainwashed victim, he never loved her. You want him and he wants you. Have him its okay Everyone's doing it...

Robert Smith

Damn yeah those are really good points. It primes Allister for what he does next- he can give in because Otis never expected anything more from him

Just a Beagle

If you don't mind that I add to this, it's actually pretty cool that Frank's actions reprise the bit we saw from early on with the Laughing God ceremony! You point out that he seems to be pretty heavily against self-sacrifice and like, part of me feels it could be due to that more grounded, "truth + science" related mindset he's had from the start, and part of it is also being able to see outside the uh "sacrifice myself to appease a higher power" a lot of the occult believing characters seem to have one way or another. At the very least, its cool to see him take charge and not let himself be left alone by the people he clearly cares for. Good points on your part also!!

Robert Smith

That is a really good point! Yeah Frank isn't someone who just blindly accepts the authority of others- we see that with his views of his Dad, and how he interacts with Wright. I really like how you put it

Bernard's Sketchbook

Part of me can't help but think that S is just saying this stuff, finding humor in what's going on and all, as a coping mechanism to keep himself calm. I mean, something so utterly outlandish appearing before him? I'd be freaking out trying to make sense of it, ahaha

Bernard's Sketchbook

He may claim to have not desired her carnally, but Otis very clearly did love Cassandra. Honestly the whole scene with "Otis" and Allister is suspect. I can't help but feel that the Otis we see is his shadow.

Becquerel

Safe to say that the Bellows family are a mixed bag of nuts. This update was super interesting to read, seeing the origins of the Perfect Neighbour mask was a nice touch. I am curious what in the world happened to all those near Orlando though xD Great stuff BC

Blade G Shepherd

This update is dope <3. Love RF being the evil magnificent bastard that he is hehe, all the while Frank not having time for it. I wonder if Alistair and Frank will have to square off against each other? I'm am curious if the "Otis" Alistair is talking to is even the real Otis, or the fire talking to Alistair via a representation of Otis. Things definitely are heating up with everyone heading to one place.

RexFurry

Augh what, I thought the update was this week! Oh my god I'm such a dumbass. And with you treating Agent RF so nicely this update, he's so evil and goofy, I love it so much hahahahaha I just love every single panel, his expression is so good (when he is rubbing his poor paw so cute (Frank you brute!)) Can't believe that little murder gremlin still doubts the truth about Hedonis, he's see... they're all see! Also holy cow the stuff happening to Allister and Otis is so powerful my heart hurt. So sinister. (and do I spot Copper and Booker???)
