Bonus panel
If you don't know: https://comick.app/comic/the-enigma-of-amigara-fault
- Ha-ha! Classic Jordan!
- Sjeez is all I can say.

We... are the crystal gems...
- Yeah this is what I thought as well. Never heard of "The Enigma of Amigara Fault." GUESS I SHOULD START READING.
  
  Horror is subjective.
  I couldn't get into this one personally, because there are all sorts of inventions and ways we could do that would explore the holes without ya know... jumping into them?
  Like, I dunno, throw a cell phone camera in there and see where it goes?
  I guess the "horror" was the mass hysteria that caused people to mentally link themselves to a hole and think they had to jump in. But psychology doesn't work like that, as far as I'm aware (and there's some psychological horrors in the real world, like schizophrenia, that do scare the bejezus out of me).
  But yeah, I realize everyone else thinks its a masterpiece. But... I just couldn't take it seriously. But give it a try, maybe it works for ya!
- We'll always DRR DRR !
- Thaaaats what it was. I was scratching my head to figure out from what source I knew of this concept.
- I'm glad I'm not the only one who thought of Steven Universe first.
  
  I'm out of the loop. Why Steven Universe and not Junji Ito?

Beautiful reference, bonus comic made me snort my soda.

Ok, I definitely softly snorted aloud for that one. Bonus was chef’s-kiss as well.

Can someone explain the joke? I get the Micheal Jordan and the Jordan logo but don't understand the other parts. Thanks!
- It's based on a short story called The Enigma of Amigara Fault, where ::: spoiler spoiler people find people-shaped holes in the mountains and feel compelled to go inside them. :::
  Here's a short summary. You can read it in full here.
  
  Holy crap, this is cool
- It's quite a spooky story. You may or may not be interested in reading it.
- See OPs comment below with a link to the reference comic. Fair warning though, it's some unsettling shit.

I wish I didn't
- You think this is more disturbing than The Bikini Bottom Horror?
  
  No but I wish I didn't know that too. Honestly The Bikini Bottom Horror Story has better writing.
  
  Thanks, this was a great way to use an hour of my life :)
  
  That was a very good read

I love Junji Ito
- I haven't actually read anything he's produced but I got very interested after playing World of Horror which is heavily inspired by his work. I feel like I've already seen some of the creepy stuff from The Enigma of Amigara Fault and Uzumaki so I feel less interested in starting them(Or at least starting WITH them). Do you have a favorite that isn't one of the popular memes that you recommend?
  
  Tomie isn't as meme-ified as Amigara fault, or as widely adapted as Uzumaki, but is another of his bigger works, would recommend!
  Also, you may have seen a few images from Uzumaki (the hair, the face) but the story is quite long and really unsettling! Would still recommend giving it a read.

duuuurrrrrrrrr

It was made for me!
- Here is an alternative Piped link(s): https://piped.video/watch?v=Prm-lLTdjfA&
  Piped is a privacy-respecting open-source alternative frontend to YouTube.
  I'm open-source, check me out at GitHub.
  
  Wow that's cool
- I honestly thought I was going to have a panic attack watching this episode for the first time like a week after I read the original comic

Oh, the second post I see abou that manga, I'm an expert now!

Ugh this gives me the creeps just thinking about it. That bonus panel is too much

Needs more jpg
- More jpg? In this economy?!
