- If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
- You may post comics from others or your own.
- If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
- The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).

Puts me in mind of this story by Poe. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Cask_of_Amontillado
I know that's what the comic is referencing, but I prefer to imagine they're giving him the Henry treatment
https://ttte.fandom.com/wiki/The_Sad_Story_of_Henry
Ringo Starr: "And Henry would stay there, forever and for always. I think Henry got the punishment he deserved... Don't you?"
Thomas the Tank Engine music plays as credits roll
Didn't know Thomas the tank engine had sad endings
That was a pretty brutal ending. He didn't get sympathy at all from those other trains.
Well, Edward would still peep "hello" at him, at least. But, yeah, Gordon just laughed and said "serves you right" when he passed.
You should watch Mike Flannigan's horror anthologys on Netflix. There's one dedicated to shoving as much Poe references as possible into it and it's awesome.
The haunting of Hill House The haunting of Bly Manor Midnight mass And the fall of the house of usher.
The last one is the one that references Poe constantly
Idk seems like a stretch
Such a good story.
