#redprism

Another very early idea for this series; someone stealing the van with Eli inside and Hank not handling it well.

Because of the broken tag bans I can unfortunately no longer tag this comic with trigger warnings. I do however always tag them as Red Prism or redprism so you can easily filter them out and never see them. Sorry about that.

I always wanted Hank and Eli to play The Monster and The Old Man Who Warns The Protagonists and to encounter paranormal investigators. With this comic I could do both.

Originally they were going to be Ghost Adventures inspired but I had a eureka moment with Buzzfeed Unsolved/Ghost Files, especially the fandom version of them: a demon pretending to be a skeptic to mess with his human friend.

The fandom of course do a very cute and funny version of that, but it made me think about how messed up and evil it would be if done seriously. Gaslighting in its purest form.

Because the inspiration would be super obvious I considered naming these guys Shaun and Bryan but by the end it had developed way beyond that. Let’s just say, I hope you like these guys because they’ll be back. A lot.
