Definitely illustrative of the cultural differences--good point! George: Thanks a bunch :) David: 'Tis the season for creepy movies! I've got a hankerin' to rewatch Ghostbusters and Night of the Living Dead, too... dgriff13: You’re right, it’s a hard sell I think the American version had more shock and creep scares, but the original connected more on an emotional level to create a sense of growing dread.

Sounds sooooo lame, but it's actually good! The original wasn't nearly as scary, but the difference between the 2 was an interesting lesson in culture.

I feel like my art has improved recently. It must be all the drawing every day :) I'm really glad you're digging it! Nate: Hope the party comes off. I remember, as a kid, going to Halloween parties at the funeral home across the street. They really went all out! David: Thanks! I dig drawing her. Spilled Ink: I have to imagine the MENSA version of the Ring would be very short: "Four kids died after watching a scary video!" "Bummer. Guess we better not watch that video." The end. ;) speearr: Yeah, I agree. I didn't want to let it fade into the rest of the background, but as it is, it does pop a little too much. Maybe greyed lineart would have helped pull it back a bit. Glad it helps the strip, regardless. Thanks for the feedback! John: Thanks! I feel like my art has improved recently.

The "The Ring" stand looks kinda 'pasted' into the first panel though. Anyway it adds to the spookiness. Yup gotta agree with John K the colours are spot on.

I could pretend that I was really smart (even though I would totally not get it) AND it would be scary (maybe)! :) How about a “Mensa Ring” remake!
