Welcome to Horror Month!  I am so excited to share this unhinged episode with you, where we talk about Issue #25 of Ice Cream man.  

Ice Cream Man is one of my favorite comics of all time. I chose to pick a completely blind issue to me to really get the full effect of the horror of this one.   This would not be a horror episode without Content Warnings listed at the bottom

Ice Cream Man was written by W. Maxwell Prince with Art by Chris O'Halloran and Martin Morazzo & Good Ol' Neon.

Next Week!  Exquisite Corpses Vol 1 by James Tynion IV, Pornsak Pichetshote, Michael Walsh, Marianna Ignazzi, Valentine De Landro and Jordie Bellarie. 

Note there's a section of this book written in Spanish. I did my best to translate it, but please let me know if I made huge mistakes or completely misinterpreted the meaning. 

Suicide, Immigration Issues, Pregnancy, Drug Use, Anxiety, Airplane Crash, Heart Attack.  

If you're having thoughts of hurting yourself, please reach out to a friend, family member or the Suicide Hotline at 988.
