A comic I saw on /co/ that was too good to not be here.

Added a few pics from the thread that thought were good as extras, feel free to delete them if you download the gallery and want it to remain "pure".

The moral is that, whatever your size, the sooner you get the toxic people in your life properly incinerated the better.

What a coincidence, I got my own hardcover copy of this just last week. Decent book, great ending. The middle part though, I don't know if I'd have loved it if I hadn't seen Bluth's Thumbalina as a kid. And I might be wrong but the usual style did make me think of Peanuts more then once wilts reading it. The ending though, that's just gold.

EDIT: When I bought this I also bought Satania by the same creative team. Firstly, I hope people here will excuse me for not destroying my sole copy to upload a descent scan here, secondly... while good, Satania won't impress as much as Beautiful Darkness. If Beautiful Darkness is quirky and weird, Satania is more of a modern retelling of Jules Verne's Journey to the Center of the Earth, it's short, brilliant and has it's moments, but it's more for people that like Verne then it's for people that like what you just read above. Same ligne claire art style, same wit, but a completely different genre. Also, that one technically has nudity and sex in it... technically, don't expect what you usually see on this site in it though.

This is strange. Not what you expect to find on a porn website...

Amazing wholesome content on this god forbidden website. Loved the part where the main lady manages to find where she'll fit best.

Great read. Poor red, Mr Mouse, and Timothy, was Tim a girl or guy tho, lol. And how did the little girl die? Was that man her father? Was that why Aurora was fond of him? Why did that fly make her cry? Damn, for red to just vanish like that at the end...

Also, in the beginning, why were they all inside the little girl anyways?

I think they were all aspects of the dead girl. Aurora was the girl herself; Red, the adult she would be; Zelie, the selfish, snobby side of her; Hector, her childish ideal of the man she would one day marry; the maggot-eating girl, the idea of her physical body (hence her horror at the dream; she can't bear to be separated from her remains, in whatever state they are now in). The blue triplets may have been her conformity; Plim, the bossy little girl pretending to be an adult, ordering smaller kids around; the girl with the swollen arm, how she died. (Remember how Aurora cried at the fly? I didn't see a mark on her body, perhaps she ate a bad mushroom, or slipped and broke her neck.)

Did Aurora go missing one day? When the man first shows up, is he still looking for her? Red, the adult, goes back first to live with the only other adult. But she had to die, and so did Timothy, the half-finished girl, since, in dream logic, Aurora was never going to finish growing up.

As aspects of Aurora, the little people all die, eventually, because the girl is dead and has no more need of them. Only Aurora, the small, bright kernel of her true self—her soul—survives, to watch over the man who may have been her father.

The back cover blurb makes me violently ill. "Civilization" by definition is living with other people; this is the opposite. Also, "an anti-fairy tale"?? Most fairy tales are even darker than this.
