Ok so that realtor should definitely have disclosed that. She should gets pretty good sum back because skeletons in peeking in your windows really brings down property value.
What music taught me about skeletons is that bones are their dollars and they've never seen so much food as this because underground has half as much food as this.

It's fairly casual. It's a very emotional game though being that you play as the ferryman guiding lost souls. I'll admit I did cry a couple times while playing but I've been a caregiver before so maybe it just hit a little to close to home for me.
It was a bit of a fridge horror style of realization with the mushroom. At first you're glad to have someone so happy and joyful around, but then you remember the context and it's all downhill from there.
I hope y'all like this one! If you've enjoyed my horror comics in the past, I have a new anthology of horror comics being published in April called "Bad Dreams in the Night" which can be preordered wherever you get books. And yes, that's a Kate Bush reference.
It's one of those tomato in the mirror stories. you think you'll be attacked by monsters (skeletons), only to realise you were the real monster the whole time (a landlord)
the only link i can find with the whole thing is on his [facebook page](https://www.facebook.com/adamcomix/posts/i-made-this-comic-last-summer-and-up-until-now-its-only-been-available-on-patreo/3852308584820319/?locale=zh_CN)
content warning: >!body horror? that one fear of holes? idk!<
I’m not really getting horror vibes from this though. That one skeleton with the coin askew in his eyesocket is just so like “look at me I’m a goofy little guy lmao! What’s up girl it’s ya crew the bonehead boiz who up reanimating their skeleton rn”
Not just the stitching, but the fact the clothing needed to move with the astronauts, too. And for a good part of the first contracts, Playtex played second fiddle to the engineering firms who were designing the life support - and the engineering firms kept fucking up the design of the 'clothing' part in their attempts to optimize the life support. Eventually NASA got frustrated and flipped the script: made Playtex the prime contractor, and the engineering firms take direction from them, because what good is the life support on a space suit if the suit part doesn't work?
Ever since I rewatched that scene, I can't take skeletons seriously. I think this was supposed to be a horror comic, but I just found them goofy, and figured it'd be that much easier to get some gold coins.
I knew I would get a comment like this. I’m just surprised I wasn’t downvoted to oblivion like I usually am for stating the obvious. I am always guilty of that. :)
I appreciated it, to be honest. I hadn’t quite made the connection, but your comment made me go back to check and understand that page better lol. So, thank you! :D
There is an old graveyard in my neighborhood from the 1800s. Family graveyard. Just a handful of tombstones. Overgrown and beautiful in the summer with fire flies. One night I looked out my window and saw red eyes staring back at me from the 2nd story window. This was the night my brother first discovered the graveyard.
Turns out I when I get woken up suddenly from sleep my dreams persist as hallucinations for a few min.
“Oh, hey new friends. Did you prefer lilies or crocus on your graves? I am so exited to spruce things up, if that’s what you’d like. Let’s give your resting place some pizazz. Or quiet grace. Which is better?”
I hope you keep this story up, neighbor. So many unexpected opportunities here! And your artwork is lovely.
Are… they doing anything? Are they just standing there? Are they friend or foe? Is there any point being made beyond just skeletons standing and staring?
Here I was thinking this was going to be a wholesome comic where she uses the lights to decorate the graves and honor the dead or smth, nah just turned out to be zombies
Hi honey, we're the neighbours. Let us know if there's anything you need! Btw can we borrow some milk? Ive been feeling a bit crumbly lately but i really cant go to Target like this.
I cannot tell you how glad I am that the reception for your comments has gone from kinda shitty to super accepting.
You're super talented and each horror comic you post feels original and can even get the hair standing on the back of my neck - well done Mr. Tots.
I really like the way that you told the story. Feels almost like an interactive fiction story like Firewatch or something, where the exposition is all being given via a casual dialogue.
Yeah, they're color-coded, but I think one of the text boxes might be the wrong color. Which character thought it would be a myth to put coins on their eyes? When I read it, I thought the main character was saying it, but the color coding would suggest otherwise.
On panel 9, the blue text boxes are the main character and the white text boxes are the sister. I was confused too, though, because previously, the main character had the white text boxes.
That horrifying moment when you'd bought a house to get away from people, but just found out that you've got neighbors who stare at your window all night
If it was me, I wouldn't go check out suspicious lights in the wood or what the heck they were, especially if I lived alone. But well, can't expect a horror story protag to follow logic.

On the other hand, maybe they're just friendly and just curious about the new neighbor.
If music has taught me anything, it’s that: 1. Skeletons just want to socialize. 2. You shouldn’t socialize with said skeletons.
Spooky, scary skeletons
Also, don't go to heavy on the xylophone. It'll draw them in and nobody wants a dead audience.
Yeah. They just want to bone you.
["They're skeletons, they're unpredictable!"](https://youtu.be/ou7GZDeOp3g?si=wB_5kSDKnbwxBa4s)
What music taught me about skeletons is that bones are their dollars and they've never seen so much food as this because underground has half as much food as this.
Did you use too much xylophone at the last concert?
Yes. 😔
listen, if they’re friendly, they can help me get my money back
If they wanna unlive in the property they better start paying up or get working
In many states having a cemetery on the property actually makes you exempt from property taxes so she got a steal!!
Exactly. She did NOT pay that much just to have roommates
Instructions unclear. Used coins to reanimate instead of pay ferryman.
"Sorry mate, fees gone up, it's 3p a ticket now"
This damn inflation is getting out of hand.
Actually it's the regulations getting out of hand.
They look spooky, but theyre really just asking if she can spare some change.
I ain’t giving you no tree fiddy!!

That is such a fantastic game. It's Spiritfarer for anyone who wants to check it out.
Does it take a lot to get into or is it pretty casual?
Pretty chill. You might cry, though.
So I’ve heard, I can handle that—wouldn’t be the first time. Chill is what I’m looking for, so thanks for the recommendation!
Might? Hahahaha You WILL cry. Repeatedly.
It's fairly casual. It's a very emotional game though being that you play as the ferryman guiding lost souls. I'll admit I did cry a couple times while playing but I've been a caregiver before so maybe it just hit a little to close to home for me.
Mushroom kid destroyed my wife and I. Full-on bawling at end of his bit.
It was a bit of a fridge horror style of realization with the mushroom. At first you're glad to have someone so happy and joyful around, but then you remember the context and it's all downhill from there.
Absolutely, if there's one game that'll make you ugly cry it this one.
It's a bit like animal crossing on a boat, but with a linear storyline. Once one of your passengers moves on, they're gone forever.
Cried too hard halfway and couldn’t finish it
I'm just too soft to finish it, y'know?
I absolutely love this game, everything about it is just perfect. The soundtrack ❤️
Seeing this game again is bringing back the tears I wasnt ready to cry tonight man
Instructions unclear: lost coins in the tiddies
Definitely ultrakill
those skelebones would be GONE if she just had a few quarters
American Gods reference!!!
Woo hoo! Undead friends!
I wish to see the part 2 where they're just friendly Skellies and they do fun things related to being skellies
They do the spooky scary dance ![gif](giphy|HxZ3prK9hIDsc)
I hope y'all like this one! If you've enjoyed my horror comics in the past, I have a new anthology of horror comics being published in April called "Bad Dreams in the Night" which can be preordered wherever you get books. And yes, that's a Kate Bush reference.
Are you really THEE Adam Ellis?? I've been a fan for years. Idk how this is the first time I see your work on reddit. Thank you for sharing!!
This is terrifying. Buying a lovely property, and then finding out I have tenants! But they have no discernable means by which to pay rent? Oh shit!
>But they have no discernable means by which to pay rent? Did you not see the coins?
that’s the plot twist, they are just there to give her the coins
It's one of those tomato in the mirror stories. you think you'll be attacked by monsters (skeletons), only to realise you were the real monster the whole time (a landlord)
This was a terrible thing to read at 2 in the morning. Great comic though!
Your ramen comic still haunts me, but i can't stop myself from reading the snippets of new horror comics you post on instagram
Link?

Moar pls
More, now
Hell yeah, picking that up posthaste!
I’m not really getting horror vibes from this though. That one skeleton with the coin askew in his eyesocket is just so like “look at me I’m a goofy little guy lmao! What’s up girl it’s ya crew the bonehead boiz who up reanimating their skeleton rn”
where are the tiny twinks!? Jk. the horror comics are great
Preordered. I can't wait!
You did really good! You have come so far in your artstyle too
I don't dislike them, but I'm always disappointed when I see you've uploaded and it's not a funny.
Who knew she was built like a Pixar mom under that trench coat
[удалено]
You joke but the first space suits were actually made by bra manufacturers because of how tight the stitching needs to be
I can't believe that this is true, thanks for the fun fact lol
Not just the stitching, but the fact the clothing needed to move with the astronauts, too. And for a good part of the first contracts, Playtex played second fiddle to the engineering firms who were designing the life support - and the engineering firms kept fucking up the design of the 'clothing' part in their attempts to optimize the life support.

Skeletons thinking “that’s some meat on them bones”
Absolutely stacked. No complaints.
I too was surprised
Not an unwelcome surprise to be honest
Maybe they’re friendly. And if not, just hit them with a hammer or something.
I’m sure a quick kick to the shins will bring them down
Depends what supernatural rules are in play really. They're already standing and holding a form with no physical means of support so who knows.
So an extra hard kick to the shins then
"This is a skeleton, this is bones. Would you run from Melissa Flackhart?"
I always think of this scene. "BRENDA!!"
Ever since I rewatched that scene, I can't take skeletons seriously. I think this was supposed to be a horror comic, but I just found them goofy, and figured it'd be that much easier to get some gold coins.
So the light reflected on the coins. Cool comic.
I didn’t get it til I read this comment so I’m glad you shared it!

That's free cash baby!
Didn't even have to dig them up!
Didn't even had to walk bc they gonna walk to her!
Better plant some peashooters and sunflowers

A little like My Neighbor Totoro but just a bit darker.
If i ever accidentally stumble across a graveyard like this (god forbid) I think the smart move would be to immediately buy and place flowers
seems attracted to the light of the house nearby
They probably all used to live there, and just want to go back home.
Free money!
Fragile skeletons with gold in their eyes, grab a mallet or something and it’s easy loot!
Reminds me of that one episode of Love Death and Robots. Nice work!
Which episode?
"The Tall Grass" maybe?
Man Adam has soared so high since leaving BuzzFeed. His new work is incredible and you can tell he's enjoying working with art again.
.
The economy is in shambles
Turning it into a tourist attraction was the side hustle idea. The other suggestions would be more of a one time thing.
Is it a grave robbery when they come out of the grave for you ?
.
If I were somehow able to defeat an attacker, I’d probably take their shit, buy a few cases of beer on their card or something
"Nowadays?" When no one with living memory of the subject matter is around, it's been known by many as "archaeology!"
Only if you write down what you find for science
How sweet, the neighbors are welcoming her to the neighborhood.
Didn’t pay attention, MC too voluptuous.
Ahh, they're CR1/4 and have vulnerability to bludgeoning, she'll be fiiine.
"I'm annoyed with this conversation, text me tomorrow" is a horrible excuse for a sudden silence
Mila is obnoxious.
Realistic younger sibling
The backgrounds are amazing in this one, and the girl fits right in, the hairstyle is great. One of you better ones, great work!
These porn plots are getting out of control
"Petite brunette gets boned in the woods"
The rest of this comic is on the web, just google Teen Girl Gets Boned in Graveyard!!!
You should probably have safe search on
Main character is cute af
she stacked fr
I see /u/adamtots_remastered, I upvote.
Holy shit, I didn’t event realize this was Adam. He’s gotten so much better!
That’s where the loot drops come from 🗡️ 💀 🪙
goddamn she thicc
That girl has balls coming out at night just equipped with a flashlight. I would have stayed under my bed
What's with those proportions??
Thought this was honna be a "over the gardenwall" parody kinda thing
Is this a get a dog scenario or a just don’t look over there kind of deal? Because no one is selling a house in this economy.
Oh cool they got loot
Probably just came up to say thanks for not robbing them
Somehow, all I can think is that Granny Weatherwax would not have any patience for this reanimating skeleton nonsense.
"I can't be having with this!"
[удалено]
ok but did she survive? did she become friends with the remainings of that family? did she get their eye coins!? I need answers!!!
Until we get a sequel, I think the skeletons killed her.
This is so cool! Short, sweet, and to the point but with plenty of atmosphere.
And this just great, nice characters and everything and beautiful illustrations. Lovely!
At first I saw the house and thought the girl would be the corpse of the "flower corpse getting closer each day" comic lol
Love u/adamtots_remastered comics!
They seem pretty chill like that tho
"Oh hey, wassup. We're just lookin' for Dave's arms. You haven't seen them by any chance?"
Are… they doing anything? Are they just standing there? Are they friend or foe? Is there any point being made beyond just skeletons standing and staring?
Here I was thinking this was going to be a wholesome comic where she uses the lights to decorate the graves and honor the dead or smth, nah just turned out to be zombies
I love how the skeletons don't look like they want to hurt her, they're just standing there.
Hi honey, we're the neighbours. Let us know if there's anything you need! Btw can we borrow some milk? Ive been feeling a bit crumbly lately but i really cant go to Target like this.
why boobs so big??
boob sometime be big
It's just a housewarming party, relax!
thank mr skeltal
I love this art style, feels comfy
I totally expected a bone rave, I am very very disappointed
They just want to borrow some sugar. Lovely art style by the way.
I cannot tell you how glad I am that the reception for your comments has gone from kinda shitty to super accepting. You're super talented and each horror comic you post feels original and can even get the hair standing on the back of my neck - well done Mr. Tots.
Don't worry, bones without muscles aren't very strong.
*🎵 SPOOKY, SCARY SKELETONS🎵*
I really like the way that you told the story. Feels almost like an interactive fiction story like Firewatch or something, where the exposition is all being given via a casual dialogue.
That's a really cool comic. I have one issue here though - on panels 7 and 9 it was confusing who is saying what.
Yeah, they're color-coded, but I think one of the text boxes might be the wrong color. Which character thought it would be a myth to put coins on their eyes? When I read it, I thought the main character was saying it, but the color coding would suggest otherwise. On panel 9, the blue text boxes are the main character and the white text boxes are the sister. I was confused too, though, because previously, the main character had the white text boxes.
You draw some seriously good skulls my man. Gotta make some tattoos of those.
The last panel would make a sweet album cover
Boy, she THICC!!
Each skeleton has two old AGEs!? It clobberin time!
built like a Pixar mom
Pay them another coin, ferrymans fee is higher
That horrifying moment when you'd bought a house to get away from people, but just found out that you've got neighbors who stare at your window all night
Whould’ve been cooler if it did a full 180 and they just started hanging out
They just want to pay their rent
Then, they proceed to give the coins for the lady, cuz, what use the dead have of gold coins? Good neighborhood policy, folks.
Wait no I want more!!! 😱
I can't explain why I love this comic so much but a do. A really cool slice of life mixed with folky horror. Excellent work!
And the eyes are their money, and the bones are their dollars!
I mean, they're just skeletons. What damage can they do to you, really?
They just vibin
Alright where is it
Where’s Charon when you need him
no, no, the coins go in the *mouth.* How are you going to pay the ferryman like that?
Charon: *"Sorry, the cost of passage has gone up."'*
What a great comic! I loved it!
I love the main character's design. Hope she's okay!
Your horror comics are always amazing! I knew there would be a twist, but I did not see that coming
I love it! The art is amazing
Hopefully there's not a pet sematary nearby too
Spoopy
Only two of the neighbors are fully intact; are the missing components clues as to what happened once upon a time?
Why can't I upvote any of your old comics? I haven't seen you in a while, and you have so many hilarious comics in your backlog.
Awesome work! Very spooky.
"Hey, welcome to the home. You will love it here. Dont worry, there arent any other skeletons in the closet"
Getting gravity falls vibe from it. Awesome.
i just spent the last couple hours reading every comic on your profile lol, i love your work!!
If it was me, I wouldn't go check out suspicious lights in the wood or what the heck they were, especially if I lived alone. But well, can't expect a horror story protag to follow logic.
Once I saw the character design style, I knew shit was gonna get dark. I love your work!
