*I HIGHLY SUGGEST READING THE STRIP BEFORE READING THIS, IT'S REALLY SHORT DON'T WORRY*

This very short comic strip genuinely scared me the first time I read through it. The 6th panel down is an honest-to-god shocking jump scare for those who are unsuspecting of it, a total "what-the-fuck" twist that goes from 0 to 100 in just a short gap. For a comic to achieve such a jolting startle was impressive to me, and I think the medium this is delivered in really helps it. The scrolling of your mouse wheel makes the monster's movements seem even faster than usual, and it's over before you even process what the hell happened. The monster and comic could be mistaken for Junji Ito, but it's actually drawn by Uno Moralez, who's other pieces also deserve a look at with many disturbing images amongst his work. Despite being a very short piece, there's actually a few things to dissect here. I feel like the boy's smile as he peers through his telescope is voyeuristic in nature, as if he expected to catch his distant neighbor undressing for his adolescent pleasure. The monster as a result feels like the boy's punishment, with a deliberately twisted feminine appearance mocking the boy's desires. Of course, this is all up to anyone's speculation, and I don't really know what's up with the last panel, but it's dang creepy! In short, it's a comic surely to administer an unexpected shock to your system.
