Dear False Positive Readers,
This is Ashley Walton, Mike’s sister and editor of False Positive. I have really terrible, awful news and a tiny bit of good news.
You might have noticed it’s been a couple years since we’ve posted anything on this website. Well, brace yourself for the saddest update I’ll ever share.
i ain’t afraid of no ghosts.
Popcorn smells so good, you’ll come back from the dead for it.
Mike could totally turn this into an ad.
“Orville Redenbacker Popcorn: So good you’ll rise from the dead for it.”
Didn’t they actually do that?
The panel juxtaposition makes it look like the guy next to her is/has become headless. Foreshadowing??
The last panel is just gorgeous!
Shit is about to get REAL
Seriously, folks, there’s a reason we don’t see the afterimages of our loved ones once their mortal coil has passed on. Stop screwing with the afterlife.
popcorn seems an odd choice but strangely appropriate
I’ve never attended an attempted séance, but I have seen popcorn used many times in Macumba rituals in South America.
Popcorn is a fovorite food of Omolu, an orixá. It doesn’t have a direct relationship with the eguns, the souls of the departed mortals, but is used im purifcation rituals too.
someone put LSD on popcorn….
Popcorn is universally a favorite food apparently. Or this is a group of early 1900’s movie theatre owners and that’s just the nature of their friends.
Oh, so that’s why there is popcorn. Kinda reminds me of the mexican day of the dead, where they make altars with a flower named cempazúchil, liquors and sweet bread (hehe, context aside) so that the dead may come and hang out for a night.
Awesome. I love the last panel.
REEEEEAL BAD TRIP….
Surprise! This was just to lure in hosts for possession! (If I turn out to be right, I will laugh so hard.)
So awesome that you included characters from Dr. Mabuse’s séance scene! Intertextuality ftw 😀
