The image is of a four panel comic.
Panel one shows an eldritch god, a skeletal possum like creature with large antlers, saying "I AM AS OLD AS THE FOREST ITSELF".
Panel two shows a stick figure saying, "But you must have been a baby at some point?"
Panel three shows the eldritch god saying "Well. Yes."
Panel four shows a tiny eldritch baby sitting on a rock, his antlers just little twigs.

WEB PAGE: Forumula:

QuizzicalParrot:
She was found months later completely unharmed and had no idea she was the subject of a "mystery." IIRC, it was something about a vacation she didn't tell many people about? It was a complete misunderstanding. As for the escalator footage, it seems that maybe she was positioned directly behind someone else, so that's why she couldn't be seen. Good news! :) Sometimes there are logical, non-sinister explanations for things.

“What a beautiful universe, hon" says a telescope as gazes upon an aurora borealis. “It really is”, responds the telescope's partner, who it turns out is not a telescope, but a microscope.

A man says "I see you started wearing a chef's hat." The man in the toque blanche says "yeah, I'm working on a new bit called 'The Chef.' The first man asks "what's the chef's whole deal?" The Chef answers "mainly, he's confident in a way I'm not. The Chef points to two guys passing by and says "hey! you guys feel good about yourselves." The two guys say "yes, chef." One of the guys says "man, I love the Chef." The other one says "yeah, he's always cookin'."

Lovely sentiment from a Facebook comment in reference to my book, which reads, “It’s so weird, when I would go over to my late father’s house he would always show me his Far Side coffee table book. Now in October, I’m gonna be the owner of my own form of that. I hope my kids when I have them like the jokes just as much.”

RIGHT NOW! I'm LIVE drawing from Scott C.'s Adventures in Drawing book on Twitch! Come join the fun! www.twitch.tv/grickle14 #grickledoodle #twitch #drawing #art #funny #humor #cartoon #scottc (Or catch it later on the Grickle Channel on Youtube!)

The image is of a four panel comic.
The first panel shows Sarah, the protagonist, in heaven. A dog with little wings runs towards her open arms. Off panel, a speech bubble reads “welcome to Heaven! Here is your dog!”
The second panel zooms in on Sarah’s face. She says, “where’s my cat?”
The third panel zooms out. There are dogs with little wings everywhere. Sarah says, “Where’s ANY of the cats?”
The fourth panel shows a circle of cats holding hands and dancing gleefully surrounded by flames in hell.

DAFFODIL: Finally, a real mystery for us to solve.
WEB PAGE: ...floor of a department store and was never seen again. It happened at a normal mall not known for witchcraft.
WEB PAGE: Intriguesteries: AleisterMeowly: In 1991 Melora Flist went up an escalator and never came down.
WEB PAGE: DarkFlame10:
I don't understand the mystery. She probably went out a different door??? Or some footage was deleted because it was evidence of other criminal activity (mob) and they bribed the security guard. Hell, even I would do a lot of things for a Cinnamon Sandy:-P Let's just say, things I'm not proud of XD.
IntrigueMyLife:
if you would bother to read, you would remember that the upper department store doors were always LOCKED during business hours as they were for loading inventory ONLY.
DarkFlame10:
Oooh a woman could never go through a door nooooo. She was the only person on earth who was pure of heart and she got raptured from inside Dobton's. Lemme guess. You still believe in the big papa in the sky.
IntrigueMyLife:
don't act like you've never heard of extraterrestrials or bad people.
FriendlyWish:
a beautiful gorgeous girl should never have this happen. wonderful face, eyes. this should never happen to a beauty girl, I think.
