40: Unsettling Switcharoo - December 18, 2023 (M)
Panel 1
[Pilcrow and the Asterism are standing in the basement of the Black Manor in their bird-headed humanoid forms of a crow and three-eyed flamingo. Pilcrow is wearing a lavender suit and has no tie. The Asterism is wearing a gray gown. It's very dark in the basement.]
The Asterism: "I believe the Orb of Ectoplasmic Contact conceals itself cunningly in the cradle of our basement."
Pilcrow: "We can't start the séance without it, but it's so bloody dark in here! Wait, here's the light switch."
[Pilcrow clicks a switch.]
Panel 2
[The light comes on. The characters now look like old time Victorian photorealistic individuals, instead of normal comic-book characters, and rather disturbing ones at that.]
Pilcrow: "This doesn't feel right."
Panel 3
The Asterism: "I sense a surge of strange swelling, a peculiar protrusion not previously perceived. This is quite disconcerting, decidedly discomforting."
Panel 4
[Pilcrow turns the light off, returning things to normal.]
Pilcrow: "Why do we even have that switch?"
