[ID: A three-panel fan comic for Undertale. The first panel is a close-up of Chara, on the ground, bleeding from holes in their elbows. They grimace and grunt, haltingly saying, “I thought we weren’t doing the killing-me thing this time.” The second panel shows a close-up of Sans with his eyes closed. He says, “Right. Yeah. This time.” In this panel, his dialogue is in Comic Sans and all lowercase. The final panel is an extreme worm’s eye view of Sans, with Chara silhouetted in red in the foreground. Sans is glaring down at Chara with one eye bright yellow and the other blank, with red and black shadows over most of his body. In regular font, with a black speech balloon and wide-spaced white text, he says, “Let’s talk about this time, shall we?” End ID]

[ID: A three-panel fan comic for Undertale. The first panel shows Sans. He is shaded in red and black, and only one yellow eye can be seen. He is shrugging with one arm up, saying, “Wasn’t it just ten minutes ago you were trying to murder me?” The second panel shows Sans in the background with his arm stretched out. In the foreground, we can see Chara being thrown across the panel, blood trailing from holes in their arms. Sans says, “Wasn’t it an hour ago you murdered dozens of innocent monsters?” The final panel shows Sans in the foreground, from behind. In the background, Chara is curled up on the floor, bleeding, shaded in blue. Sans says, “Wasn’t it this morning that you killed my brother?” All of Sans’ dialogue is in black word balloons with wide-spaced white lettering. It is not in Comic Sans. End ID.]

[ID: A four-panel fan comic for Undertale. The first panel shows a close-up of Chara’s half-heart soul, turning blue, with a little “ding” sound effect. The second panel is a long, overhead shot showing Sans throwing Chara across the room. The third panel shows Chara slamming into a wall with a “wham” sound effect, grimacing and grunting in pain. Two bones stab through their arms at the elbows, spurting blood. The final panel shows Chara, grimacing in pain, with the bones sticking out of their arms. A black word balloon, with white letters that are widely spaced, says, “Rooting for me? Boy, that’s a laugh.” End ID.]

[ID: A three panel fan comic for Undertale. The first panel shows Chara, looking down with a slight smile, saying, “Come on, Sans.” The second panel shows a close-up of Chara’s hand on Sans’ shoulder. A word balloon reads, “I’m rooting for you.” The final panel shows Sans knocking Chara’s hand off of his shoulder. Previous panels are shaded in green, but in this panel, Chara is shaded in blue, and Sans is shaded in red. End ID.]

[ID: A full splash page fan comic for Undertale. In the page, Frisk is sitting in front of a lap, curled over their knees and clutching their head. They cast a long, dark shadow. A caption reads: “*You felt your sins crawling on your back.” End ID.]

[ID: Two pages of fan comics for Undertale. Both pages have black backgrounds, and are shaded in red. The first page has two panels. The first panel depicts Frisk punching Papyrus in the jaw, with a red background. The second panel has no borders, and depicts Frisk in the bottom lefthand corner, with their face lowered so that it can’t be seen. In the upper right of the panel, we can see Papyrus’s body turning into dust, as his skull falls to the ground. He says, “Well, that’s not what I expected. Still, I believe in you! You can do a little better! Even if you don’t think so!” The second page is a full-page splash with a top-down view of Chara and Frisk. Frisk is kneeling on the ground, with Chara standing behind them. Both are looking at a pile of white dust which is blowing away in the wind. Two word balloons read “I... I promise.” All the dialogue on these pages is written in Papyrus font, in all caps. End ID.]

[ID: Two pages of an Undertale fan comic. Both pages have black backgrounds and are shaded in red. The first page has four panels. In the first panel, Frisk is in the background, gesturing, looking upset and confused. Chara is in red silhouette in the foreground. The second panel shows a close-up of Chara, looking slightly regretful. Chara says, “I know. He’s too sweet for his own good. But we’ve come so far already...” The third panel shows a close-up of Chara, talking to a red silhouette of Frisk. They are smiling. The final panel shows an extreme close-up of Chara’s hand on Frisk’s shoulder. Chara’s mouth is visible, grinning. Over the last two panels, Chara says, “Besides... aren’t you curious?” The second page is a full-page splash. In it, Frisk and Chara can both be seen from a low angle, looking up. Chara looks smug and evil, while Frisk looks determined. In the extreme foreground, we can see the shape of Papyrus’s boot. A caption reads, “Papyrus is sparing you.” End ID.]

The fourth panel shows a close-up of Papyrus, smiling hopefully. The fifth panel shows Frisk’s hand in the tough glove, shaking.

The first panel shows Frisk, wearing a manly bandanna and looking determined. The second panel shows a close-up of Frisk’s hand, wearing a tough glove. The final panel is a long shot, showing Frisk, with Chara behind them, standing in the snow. In front of them, blocking the way, stands Papyrus, with one hand raised towards his chest in a tentative gesture. In all three panels, specks of white dust are floating around Frisk. End ID.]

[ID: A five panel fan comic for Undertale. The first panel shows Frisk sleeping with their head on their arms. An off-screen voice, written in all-caps in Papyrus font and a spiky word balloon, shouts, “Sans!” The second panel shows Frisk looking up with an exclamation point by their head. The same off-screen voice says, “Sans, where are you?” The third panel shows Frisk looking across a bridge, towards the direction of the voice, which is saying, “I swear, if I catch you napping again!” The fourth panel shows Frisk running to hide behind a conveniently-shaped lamp, as once again the voice shouts “Sans!” In the final panel, Frisk is sitting and looking down, covering their head, with a pained expression on their face. They are shaded in red, while the rest of the page is shaded mostly in blues. The off-screen voice says, “Really, brother...” End ID.]

Start at the Beginning | Start from Chapter One

[ID: A three-panel fan comic for Undertale. The panel borders on this page are jagged and look cracked or broken. Fracture lines radiate out from the edges and obscure parts of the comic. The first panel shows Chara looking at Sans, who has his back towards them and his eyes closed. Chara says, “Come on! You can’t just give up! There must be something we can do!” Sans replies, “Kid, as far as I know, this is inevitable.” The second panel shows A close-up of Sans’ face with his eyes closed. Cracks from the panel borders cover part of his face. He says, “Might as well just accept it.” The final panel has a large, spiky word balloon, with Chara’s voice over, saying “F that!” The censorship of the F word is a scribbled mark. Sans is sitting upright and alert, his eyes wide open, as if the shout woke him up suddenly. End ID.]
