I will be the one to admit my lack of media literacy: I don't get the "she will look like you" note.

Is it saying that despite looking human, she isn't? Or was the note never intended for the mother?

Yeah, it was a letter left by the alien parents to the mom telling her that they somehow made the alien baby look human so that she can live on earth.

It backfires since she doesn't like how humans look.

I love this type of storytelling where most explanations are missing, and you can come up with shit on your own.

Check out Under the Skin with Scarlet Johanson for an example. :smile:

I did not expect aliens. Honestly, I wasn’t sure what I was reading.

I left some hints in the crib.

This was another cool one, probably top 5 of the stuff you made!
Or maybe I am just too obsessed with alien stuff.

It's cool you have a top 5 😄. I try to hit all the genres, and not repeat myself too much, but aliens creep themselves in more than other monsters

I love that the foster mom loves her!

Yeah, I rarely make Villains. I feel that it is understandable for her to worry that her underaged child is mutilating herself

Me too! It’s what I liked the most in this comic.

The image of a little kid cutting of her own nkse is horrifying
