hiiii i'm a big huge fan of cave horror and love the mad stone comic you drew, can i ask what the story's about?? O:

omg thank you so much!!!! and YES always: that comic is from my original work signal to noise, which follows historian samira hashemi as she tries to construct a comprehensive and complete history of the post-post apocalyptic world she lives in. the story follows a small collection of the historical texts that samira is decoding and piecing together, as well as samira’s own account of her attempt to find the ‘heart’ of a place called the synapse, which is a place of chance and change that is often functionally (and sometimes literally!) a cave. three of the stories total are about various groups exploring the synapse and the things that happen to them there; this is where the cave horror is!!

the mad stone series specifically is about a possibly-historical possibly-mythological figure known only as the unnamed caver, who is often described by cavers but whose story is relatively unknown. if samira were to uncover her story, it would make many parts of her history lock into place - the question is if she’ll find the pieces the unnamed caver left behind!!
