@Sandy: That’s much appreciated! :) Don’t be a stranger, now! And yeah, the “attract prey” angle wasn’t really intentionally in my mind when I made this one. I think I just wanted to draw an octopus doing a flashlight scaryface with a lighthouse, and that was it, heh.

Not buying the “lighthouse on his head to attract prey” angle. When a sailor sees a lighthouses he usually figures it’s been built on a rock, so he tries pretty hard to avoid getting anywhere near it.

Anyway, first comment on this site, so now’s a good time to say thanks for the humour and the inspiring art style, Kristian!

I got it too. I mean, I’ve done it myself. On a much smaller scale, though… lol… and no one died, of course.

A quick way to make the point clearer would be to make the surroundings darker, having a larger contrast between light and dark. I didn’t have any problems understanding the strip, maybe because I spent a large amount of my childhood scaring people like that.

This one stirred up a bit more confusion than I thought it would. I guess my mind was entirely focused on the flashlight scare thing, as that’s where the idea originally sprung out from.

@Gillsing: I see we posted at the exact same moment yesterday! I liked your interpretations, even though I’ll quickly admit the first one wasn’t on my mind when I made it. But I can see it working from that angle as well, so that’s all good, I guess. So yeah, your second interpretation is the one I intended. Oh, and that Flash game is pretty darn cool indeed.

@Oyster: Awesome, smiling readers make ME smile :D

@Jernette: Thanks!

It took me a few takes to get exactly what the end panel should of meant, I think if the sailors didn’t know the gigantapus had taken the light house then they would have been genuinely surprised by the face makings, but for the most part they know it’s coming for them, so they aren’t/the reader isn’t worried about the face surprise. If you know what I’m saying? It’s really early in the morning and I’m hungry. T_T;
