After the General Meeting (pictured above) the rest of my first day in Elan blended into a gray haze. I guess that is how your mind reacts when put into an environment so foreign and strange. It ju...
2019-11-14 03:25:35 +0000 UTC View PostRead this to enhance your comic experience and make it even more terrifyingly real. Good on Details magazine for being one of the only publications that tried to expose Elan while it was still open. It took forever to dig up the text from the suspiciously missing page of this article, but I got it!

Hey all, I need to get some things off of my chest and I think you, paying Patrons, would appreciate hearing some of these things.
The comic has become something amazing, I never knew i...

The more I did Joe's Journal, the more I thought about all the small details that many of the readers would probably find interesting.
So I went back to the beginning and added another narra...
Just posted Chpt 26
House of Notebooks was meant to be a two-part. It was taking a while so instead of waiting, I just posted half last week, but here is the second half.

I am up to Chapter 4. Just an FYI in case you wanted to get some more insights into the story behind each chapter.

I am a part of some ex-Elan groups on various parts of the internet, this was recently posted and I think it describes how many of us feel. (Note that not everyone was sent to Elan by manipulated p...

Thoughts on "The Ring"
I saw the Ring on many occasions, even as late as the year 2001. It was a really sick thing to watch.
When I first got locked up in the cult called Elan, I was pretty disturbed by everything ...

Instagram also seems like a more convenient way to show little quick leaks of upcoming chapter art.
So follow me if you have an IG account!
AMA Question: what was your reaction to the outside world after you got out?
It sucked, really. Everyone, even me, thought that the second I left, it was going to be like heaven. But it was honestly more like that scene in The Shawshank Redemption where the older man doesn'...
2019-03-09 23:46:24 +0000 UTC View PostAMA Question: I remember reading that residents were discouraged from behaving in a truly friendly and therapeutic manner toward one another, so "talking down" a violent/deranged kid must have been a delicate balancing act.
Yeah, I can remember many moments of potential violence, particularly while on the corner SP, where it seemed completely hopeless to be able to talk someone down, especially because even they knew ...
2019-03-09 23:44:29 +0000 UTC View PostAMA Question: Were corner kids allowed to bathe regularly and change into clean clothes, or were they just left there to rot like carcasses?
Corner kids were allowed to shower, but that was more for the sake of everyone else. Actually, after being in the corner for months and months, they didn't want to shower or brush their teeth anymo...
2019-03-09 23:43:16 +0000 UTC View PostAMA Question: What red flags, as someone who was on the inside, would you recommend that outsiders be on the lookout for to avoid programs like this?
I think it all has to be about communication. If a program wants to put restraints on any form of communication: letters, phone calls, visits, etc... then it is probably a bad place.
