Page Twenty
Lots of pukey colors. I guess it’s appropriate. Doesn’t really make a nice looking page, though. I like the last panel, otherwise I feel like I really let myself down here. >:P
First person to actually guess what’s wrong with the doc gets mad props. Not that I’ll tell you if you guess it, but I’ll just say no one has so far.
I am loving how Schtien is already going crazy. It really gives him a lot of character.
Also, I do love to see your surreal art, always makes a good time.
Personally I think he’s just got an insanely high fever brought on by the shock to his system (of going to a less sterile environment and also of being beat up, deprived sleep, possibly a virus or two). People can have very vivid halucinations with high fevers, my sister did once.
Jesus, the walls have EYES. Schtein is losing it completely.
…BLOW UP THE JAIL. BLOW UP THE JAIL. blow it up i saaay
I tv-trope’d you. Hope I did an OK job of setting it up. :)

Hahah, wow. Thanks for taking the time to do that. Looks great.
No problem. I was scandalized when I saw there wasn’t one already hehe.
You should provide a link to that somewhere on your site.
ohhh lol its his eyes XD
I dunno if its just the coloring or if it was on purpose but the red in his eyes begins to fade towards the last few panels
He’s having an averse reaction to his artificial eyes? Either his body or his mind is rejecting the foreign objects. Well, at least that’s my guess, what with the eyes in the wall and Langstrom degenerating into something robotic/mechanical looking.
Last panel is another one of my favorite Dr. Schtein faces/poses.
Guess what’s wrong with him… hmm… a juicy challenge… going to drive me crazy…
I’ll be making a lot of guesses.
Schizophrenia is the obvious one, with his hallucinations, antipathy towards others, impairment in social cognition, social isolation, some mild emotional issues, lack of guilt/emotional reaction over Doctor Edelmeyer, some sort of paranoia or delusion over human contact (the hand thisng is NOT ocd or unspecified anxiety), etc. Although if you were really trying to represent a schizophrenic properly, you would represent him differently. But, since the first thing people think when they see a hallucination is “schizophrenia,” this must not be it.
I’m going to go out on a limb and hazard that Dr. Schtein has not yet woken from his coma, and is still lying in the hospital, a bandage around his eyes, dreaming this complex fantasy world.
I think that at least part of what’s wrong with him has to do with issues with his mother.
Wait, do you mean “guess what’s wrong with the doc” as in guess why he’s hallucinating, or guess why he has to wear gloves all the time and why he’s so antisocial and the psychology behind his fetishes and all? Like, what’s wrong with him right at this moment or what’s wrong with him in general?
U took the words right out of mah mouth O_O
