"Then a massive, dull-colored hand shot out, grabbed Cuphead, and promptly yanked him off the boat. Cuphead’s first instinct was to fire his shot anyway, but the resulting orange fireball fizzled on impact with the greyish mass. A hole opened up towards the top of the mound, which then formed into a yellowed, thick-lipped smile as a positively grotesque laugh echoed in the dim flood cavern. If Dice sounded like he’d been smoking for decades, this creature sounded as if he’d had a lit cigar between his teeth since the day he was born. More equally unsettling features began taking shape around the mouth, namely a very familiar long nose and small, tasteless mustache. What was new were the wide shoulders, the suggestion of frivolous formal wear, a hat worn only by those partaking in that infamous vaguely defined “business” after dark. As this figure, somehow more inhuman than he was as a literal object, towered over the boat where Dice had frozen mid-bail, a pair of dim, languid yellow eyes poked their way out of his face."

surprise, it's an illustration! don't expect me to do too many of these (except for key plot points and whatnot), but i had a vision dammit, and cranked this thing out in about two and a half hours. chapter 8 was inspired by a few things, but if i were to pin one it would be that scene in the raggedy ann and andy movie, you know the one. and if i were doing this piece under any other circumstances i probably would have drawn wheezy more grotesque and creature-like, but it just felt weird to do that in this 30s cartoon style. plus, we kind of already did the goop monster thing with the tipsy troop, wheezy's just way... bigger. but hey, i like how it turned out. really communicates my half-baked idea of the mini-bosses becoming more full-fledged fights.

anyway, thanks so much for viewing! normal ask box shenanigans will resume this weekend. have a lovely day!
