Continuing with today's comics run, I draw your attention to the fine, melancholy, gently twisted comics of Deadmouse. Ballad is my favorite, a disturbing, charmy sequence involving a megacephalic boy and the gloomy, fierce girl who perhaps remade him. It's now in the midst of an ongoing story, "Cakes for Tea". The comic shifts tonally from brooding lyricism to humor, surrealism slipping into pain, or gentleness.
Has anyone researched the current state of Gothic-themed webcomics? It might be an interesting exploration.

Ballad struck me too. Quite a rollercoaster.

In the meantime, behold the terror of Lenore, the cute dead girl:
