Description
Following on from Sweeney Todd, we come to the next installment, Norman Bates from Alfred Hitchcock's "Psycho", drawn in pencil, detailed in pen and charcoal pencil and with lettering in crayola black

Norman Bates (who has severe mother issues, like...)

Background: Joint owners of the Bates Motel, Norman Bates completely idolised his mother, the fact that she was dead never deterred him either. He was raised to believe that women and sex were evil, within a strictly religious home with very little access to the outside world, inevitably causing severe damage to his emotional capacity and social abilities
When his mother took a boyfriend, Bates became jealous and murdered them both, keeping his mother's skeleton preserved in his cellar, at last he had her all to himself. His emotional damage caused the development of a split personality, sharding into three distinct characters, "Norman" a child-like character dependant on his mother, "Norma" an apparition of his controlling mother, and "Normal" his everyday persona.
Norman's ownership of the motel often allows him to enjoy his favourite activity, staring through peep holes at attractive girls in the shower, before brutally slashing them to death
To survive Norman Bates is easy for a man to do, a woman...not so easy. One should simply stay clear away from the Bates Motel and stay out of the showers
