Aquarius: You will come to realize that being sold to the circus when you were nine may have caused some lasting emotional trauma.

The second one had no charm. Jared Leto puts me off this one. I wonder why people hire him as he seems to be box office poison.

I find them hard to handle especially after we were locked away that time. Became more sensitive to crowds.

Yeah. I'm generally not a romance guy. I need more to it than that. It is nice that we have gotten to stage that they are producing terrible gay rom-coms to match the straight ones.

The gays keep recommending these “romance” movies to me and the characters end up being messed up or unlikeable. They’re calling Pillion a romance. I’ve read the book. They must have either changed the plot or changed the definition of romance.

A Peanuts parody comic, in which Charlie Brown prepares to kick a football held by Lucy.

Charlie runs for the ball, but the energy is different here. He looks focused. Determined. Even Lucy looks surprised.

Just as Charlie is about to kick the ball, a gigantic foot comes in from off panel and punts him. With his token "AUGH," Charlie has exited the scene.

We cut back to Lucy, turning in fear to look at who --WANT-- kicked Charlie.

From Lucy's POV, we see a gigantic humanoid figure, backlit by the sun. They have six fingers on each hand.

We end on a large wideshot, revealing the full scale of the massive creature, with Lucy dwarfed by them. 

Their face is implacable, a wisp of wind blows some leaves across the otherwise peaceful scene.

6 panel comic, black & white with a *slight* touch of sepia

P1: A window set in a brick wall, its angles all Dutch. Stood before it on the inside of the building --hands against the pane-- is everyone's favourite absolute goblin of a dracula: Nosferatu! 

He is staring at us, his lizard-like eyes wide, while his frowning mouth --slightly ajar-- displays a single sharp buck tooth

P2: Nose's eyes open wider, taking on a tall squished oval shape. His mouth bunches up --but does not close-- in horror. His clawed hands move to his right; the left held limply over his chest, while the right is held up and to the top right of his head.

He thinks to himself "ACK! Those neighbours think I'm staring at them..."

P3: In the same position as the previous panel, Nose begins to move to this right, his right hand now slightly out of the frame of the window, and obscured by the outside wall. He thinks "act casual"

P4: Moving further to his right --his right arm now completely out of view-- he continues "Act. Casual."

P5: the window is now empty--

P6: --only for Nose to peek up from the bottom left (our bottom left, mind) of the window, only his wide eyes visible.
