alexthebordercollie: Context, while at a party in town Dolores over hears her uncle’s drunken rambling as he makes very unsettling jokes to himself about death and suicide before breaking down sobbing after she hears a knife break skin.I’m really proud of this strip. It’s pretty dark subject matter and despite my reputation with my friends I don’t actually spend a lot of time drawing these kinds of groundedly morbid scenes. I see Bruno as someone who’s likely struggled with depression on and off his whole life as well as alcoholism and suicidal ideations. People ask why Dolores didn’t tell people he was in the walls and this is why I think. I think Dolores became acutely aware of how fragile her uncle really was at a young age and kept his secret because she worried that outing him would make things worse. You could argue when she grew up she should have known better but by that point this had been going on for years. The look on Bruno’s face at the end is the real kicker for me as it dawns on him he may have accidentally traumatized his niece and will need to be a lot more careful how he talks when he’s alone. -- source link
