Guy Creates Terrifying Comics That Don't End As You'd Expect
For people with a quirky sense of humor, these comics truly don't end as you'd expect.
Some webcomics hook readers with a spooky setup, then flip the mood in the final panel. Edd Lai has built a following by doing exactly that, turning horror-style scenes into clever little surprises that land in a completely different place than expected.
These comics lean into eerie imagery, tense moments, and fake-out dread before revealing something much lighter or more playful. That contrast is what makes the punchlines work, and it is also why these strips have been getting so much attention.
Here is a selection of Lai's best twists, and the endings may be even better than the setups.
