CHAPTER 3, PAGE 19
(Transcript and visual captions below}

Demetri would normally be irritated with the sort of resistance Jack was putting up, but somehow he just ended up thinking of his cat Spiky, who he had raised from a feral kitten. Jack was the same as Spiky, putting up a big fuss and thinking Demetri was just terrifying, but soon enough he'd be chewing up old sweaters and sleeping in the dirty clothes hamper... Eh, figuratively, that is.

     Jack listened cautiously, but listened nonetheless as Demetri threw out a few stories of Crowboy horror.
      "God, it's like the Kinder Moral Tales..." Jack said, only partially disbelieving one about Crowboys playing keep away with toddlers on rooftops.
      "Don't say the 'G' word- yes it is, but the fables came first of course, likely their inspiration for that caper. Though I think they may be old enough that the silent film Midnight in Harlan owes a few credits."

I commissioned that lovely crayon drawing from my sweetie! I'm kind of jealous, it looked fun to do. Though I had fun drawing those skellingtons as well.

TRANSCRIPT: This is the text of the comic, for purposes such as translation and internet searches.

JACK: Oh right, you were a gross monster the whole time.

DEMETRI: Gross? That is only hurtful...

JACK: You killed me.. like.. yesterday!

DEMETRI: Only in the most technical sense. You didn't answer--

JACK: What I feel? Is it that hard to understand?

DEMETRI: Perhaps.

JACK: Let's see, your friends love murder and torture and want me to join in?

JACK: I would say no, but you decided for me.

DEMETRI: Not friends. Family. Parents can create children out of love, but life is cruel.

DEMETRI: So procreation can be cruel as well. It is selfish. I was selfish... I couldn't see you grow old and die. Jack...I care about you...

JACK: Some way to show it! That disgusting game?!
