i’m on cloud[land] nine; I am the proud owner of a @hausofdecline.bsky.social original :D
photograph of a Haus of Decline 4-panel comic. The panels depict two individuals in a cloud landscape. In the first panel the first individual asks “wow, is this the afterlife?”. In the second panel, the second individual responds “no, your soul, which is a tangible substance has crossed into a concurrent plane of reality”. The third contains the first individual retorting “why are we in the clouds?”. To which the second individual responds in the fourth panel “this is cloud land. Our major export is clouds. The comic is next to a note by the author which reads “To Ben, my smile is stuck! I cannot return to your cloud land” which is signed Alex Hood (Haus of Decline) Packaging of the original with a drawing depicting with eyes and a mouth in a neural expression The full packaging showing a drawing of eyes and a grin showing lots of teeth
