Transcript:
neighborhood of mystery a bare tree filled with plastic bags from stores that never were. a streetlight that goes dark when approached by the living. a house that weekly disgorges a pile of trash out of all pro-portion to its size. water sewer doorway to hell street markings that hint at some-thing more dire than utility work.

If I could get any of his work, this one would be it. I like the random yet bizarre elements in each panel. 1)A tree out of time festooned with plastic bags from stores that don’t exist,2) Electric street lamps go out just as you walk under them, 3) Seemingly deserted houses that generate tons of junk from no where, 4) Some cryptic chalk marks made by road workers in preparation for work…but “hell mouth”?
