    kaz on
  2. WHAT WHAT WHAT WHAT Dear lord, this comic is so good. Gah, my feels . . .
    McflyCahill90 on
  3. Oh, hi Duane. You look.. great!
    Sky on
  4. WHAT DID YOU DO?! ASHLEY?!
    Herzinth on
  5. Gasp. That's all I can do.
    Beth on
  6. Good god. You set that up very, very well. Bravo. And the fact that you put up multiple pages at once to preserve flow? Thank you. So many webcomicers go out of their way to drag things out, it's very refreshing to see someone who cares more about the story.
    JohnSmith on
  7. Can't say that Turas didn't get what he had coming to him, but... wow.
    Maou Zenigame on
  8. Trying to type with bandaged fingers and not doing very well--but I had to express my shock by not being able to find words to express my shock.
    Chajiko on
  9. Whoa. Just... whoa.
    Annie C. on
  10. Duane unveiled....been waiting on this for a long long time, and it didn't disappoint in the slightest.
    Cyka on
  11. Oh, wow. At least use some seasonings. What are you, some kind of savage?
    E_O on
  12. That is not good... D:
    madmartin26 on
  13. aaaaaaa omg that latest page. My eyes were as big as Sette's.
    Gally on
  14. OMNOMNOM
    T-Red on
  15. Man. I am... for the first time, I am somewhat regretting that I didn't wait until morning to check Unsounded. Now I've got to try to sleep -- after seeing that.
    Sessine on
  16. 3 pages!!! Great Update! hey Duane, enjoying room service? When he thought that this comic does not amaze me more could come out with this, awesome!
    Shirlanka on
  17. This is what happens when you forget to feed your attack zombies.
    Matt on
  18. A bit like Wall-E but with more death.
    somebloke on
  19. they are so not geting their deposit back.
    tina on
  20. sick!! but awesome and we finally get to see his face fully detailed!
    rudy on
  21. Y'know, this could end up being really useful for Duanne. It's MEAT SUIT TIME!
    B on
  22. Holy crap. That is amazing. It is grotesque, but art wise, it is beautifully done! Also, I love how we are finally getting the Duane reveal that has been hinted at for so long. It was worth the wait.
    Michael Vuke (@WriteAndDream) on
  23. Oh shit!
    ForGotteNNapKiN on
  24. HOLY FRIG 8D
    Boxy on
  25. How unrefined! Duane, at least use napkins and proper silverware! Also, good riddance to bad rubbish. I hope Starfish gets the same, in due time.
    Shrunken One on
  26. Not cool Sette, using Duane like that. Oh dearie dearie me.
    Artesian on
  27. Holy crap! That is all the words I have left in me.
    Bpw on
  28. Oh, Duane. You poor thing.
    Spacepup on
  29. That poor two-toe janitor...
    feline256 on
  30. Well here I was going "Don't listen to them Sette, he's not a bad guy!" Then this page. :C Sette gets to have all the nightmares.
    Not a name on
  31. Love that last panel. simply amazing.
    Dylan on
  32. That shot of Duane eying the eyeball looks so grotesquely, wonderfully poetic - the pose makes him look forlorn and reflective, but we don't know yet if he's still out of it, or if he is fully aware of what he's done. Can hardly wait to see how you handled his reaction, fantastic work as always!
    Landylachs on
  33. Yesssss. I like how you draw gore. Awesome.
    PhantomSeptember on
  34. Ooh- what purrty green eyes you have Duane <3
    Liz on
  35. O.....M......G...... ^w^ Duane you look even more sexy as a "zombie" ... if that's not too weird to say? SQUEE! And now we see Duane refreshing his rotting parts, lol, popping in a new eye like a fresh contact!
    Atrea on
  36. N/m, not "refreshing"... ^^; just snacking.
    Atrea on
  37. ..... balls.
    Sengachi on
  38. Reminds me....I need to make a batch of hot chili! ;)
    Cuts on
  39. That last page... that last page just made me feel a spike of sorrow. Not for Duane... who if he realizes just what he did in the night might not like it, but will probably accept it as a sad inevitability... But my heart in that last page.... my heart was aching for Sette. For all that she is a tough girl... i don't think she actually realized just what she was being asked to do. To kill a man sure. That's easy... to use this man, inhuman in form, but a scholar and gentleman in all else, as a weapon in such a way... If given the choice... I'm not sure if she'll be able to bring herself to do that to him again. To see him in that way again.
    Xicree on
  40. Hey, we all get a bit quirky when we're alone and don't have to consider the reactions of others, stop judging. <.<
    Socrase on
  41. Duane looks both hungry but somewhat civil and surprised to see her there. Poor guy. Makes me still wonder what he is and how he came to be that way. :C Thanks for the 3 pages! Love all these updates.
    MK on
  42. 10 minutes in which to clean that gory mess up... oh dear.
    kayananas on
  43. Holy... That's all I have. Wow.
    Ann Onymous on
  44. So what kept him from busting out the door and going on a rampage while she wasn't concentrating? Maybe plods are like vampires, and a single kill sates them for a bit?
    sigmir on
  45. hmm Duane need to it faster, they leave soon :D
    Kurogane on
  46. ^ it = eat >_<
    Kurogane on
  47. He'll go for the brains next probably. Awesome update!
    shoon on
  48. "All tied up"... ih Sette, you poor thing, still innocent after all.
    Nestor on
  49. God yes. After a long and stressful day, I desperately needed to see some terrifically drawn gore. I love you, Ashley :'D Gosh, Duane looks terrifying -- and so, so sad. I LOVE IT
    karaii on
  50. I like it, I like it a lot.
    Anonymous on
  51. Poor Sette. She is never getting the old Duane back.
    TheWrightStuff on
  52. Oh I get why you can see his real face. Because the glamour is broken by "eye contact" :D
    Ryengu on
  53. Starfish is rapidly running out of lackeys to get horribly murdered.
    Viashino_wizard on
  54. *blink* Oh. Yeah. I totally expected this. Shocking, though, even so. This has got to be the best webcomics on the net in terms of pure artistry. G'damn.
    Knucklekraken on
  55. SWEEEEEEEEET.
    Tobi on
  56. ..Wow, I actually kind of enjoy staring at this page...
    Criez on
  57. so metaphorical hunger snake is not so metaphorical?
    Zhiva on
  58. Yes, I think Duane got him tied up. The intestines probably form a knot somewhere.
    someone on
  59. I wonder if Duane has a bad hangover every morning after going full "magic attack zombie"
    Fireeye on
  60. My god. Poor Sette. "Got him tied up?" Is THAT what she thought would happen? Poor, poor Sette. Also, poor Turas. I can't imagine that was pleasant.
    Taxis on
  61. Also, I can't stop looking at that last page. I've been so excited for Duane to come back, and this is better (worse?) than anything I could have hoped for.
    Taxis on
  62. You know, I think the part of this that really struck me is Sette. Carnage and gore was a little more imaginative than expected, but I didn't exactly expect them to be having tea in there. Sette though, seems to be clashing with the inhumanity in Duane she's been told of, and her personal experience with him.
    tehbeefer on
  63. can't say i didn't see this coming lol. the moment duane appeared behind turas and took off his hood i just knew he was sol, and that it was gonna be messy... but wow is it messier then i thought it would be...
    Ammash on
  64. Ya know, he's actually not that bad lookin' for a totally dead man eating monster galit. I'd let him court me if I didn't think all he was really after were my meaty parts.
    Danielle Ashley on
  65. u ok Duane Duane, honey, you got a little speck there on your cheek.
    vodkafolie on
  66. Hmm i think they better leave a big tip for the cleanup lady...
    Florian on
  67. I like to imagine this was how Duane regained his ... higher mental functions. The sun rose, just as he'd plucked out Turas' lovely, juicy eyeball and was about to eat it. Woke up, and just sat there, disgusted with himself - until Sette enters. At which point of course he'll be even more desperately full of self-loathing - letting an "innocent child" witness all that carnage.
    Michael on
  68. What beautiful eyes Duane has.
    Anonymous on
  69. Fffff, oh poor Duane is going to feel HORRIBLE about this unless Sette gets him cleaned up and never lets him know. Though he'd probably be able to tell if his inner hunger felt better. Also Sette's going to have nightmare fuel for LIFE.
    Doodlebot on
  70. :/
    lionc on
  71. Well he ain't gettin up from that one. strange that duane's blood beasts bear a striking resemblance to the lizard guy that was eating epstein a while back
    Crestlinger on
  72. Holyyyyyyffff-- That two-toe janitor is going to have a time.
    Rynnay on
  73. They'd better leave a huge tip for the cleaning lady!
    Wood on
  74. This is why we can never have anything nice.
    Ethan R on
  75. So this morning I was all, "Should I eat THEN webcomics, or webcomics then eat?" I chose webcomics first. Looks like I'll be saving on breakfast today! (Just kidding, I have delicious chicken leftovers. No zombie is keeping me from that.)
    UndeadOranges on
  76. Dang, most impressive sequence Ashley!
    John on
  77. Holy crap.
    Crizza on
  78. hoooo-leeee shiiiit
    Wheat on
  79. Poor Duane. Does this at least help him regenerate himself or something?
    KC on
  80. I'm guessing the lizard coming the clean the suites is going to be *piiiiiissed*.
    deliciouspineapple on
  81. About what I expected. I can't believe Sette thought he would just tie the man up. Poor guy's gonna be grossed out with himself, I bet.
    CMFry on
  82. Gratulations. I could always observe that Ashley has very good drawing skills but she is now officially one of the very few comic artists that can draw a foot properly. This may sound stupid but it is a true thing. Somehow this bodypart makes even the famous comic artists struggle to the point of where they try to obscure them with obstacles just so they don't need to draw them.
    Kallisti on
  83. Duane really got beautiful eyes, ne? <3 Oh right, the blood, flesh and organs part is a bit creepy but the way he sits there just looking at the eyeball is so... so... mesmerizing. In a horrific kind of way, yet you can“t look away. Just like Sette. Poor girl gonna be so shocked. Same for Duane who always knew what he could do at night and always tried to avoid doing exactly that. Poor fellow. :(
    James Rye on
  84. Holly cow, there is a mexican phrase for when you open a door and find a blood covered undead, mexicans say it for other things too, it is "En la torre!", well, I mean it is a very serious business thet of owning an "attack zombie".
    Anshar on
  85. Finally, Duane, you take a little break.
    Ardid on
  86. ...Wait. She sent some guy into a closed, sound-proofed room with a hungry, senseless attack zombie - in the MIDDLE of the NIGHT - and expected to find him "tied up?"
    Somebody on
  87. WHOA. O_O *starts clapping after a moment of jawdropping silence*
    Inuki on
  88. Well, that will be... A sticky situation... Hope there are no attack zombie in my Mocks tommorow. |:(
    Onlooker on
  89. Wow. Can't say that was unexpected, but... yeah. Not a pretty situation. Maybe Sette will finally realize just what having an 'attack zombie' means... Awesome work all 'round, and an excellent reveal.
    LadyViridis on
  90. I guess the mysterious scholar look is more to my liking :D Very awesome, nevertheless :D Thank you for the three pages today <3
    Blaka on
  91. Woooow. I guess Sette won't be making those kinds of jokes anymore. (O.O);
    Neshomeh on
  92. sette x duanne FULL STEAM AHEAD
    val on
  93. HOLY SWEET MOTHER OF HELL!
    Tarot on
  94. OoOoOoh... oh my, Ashley you've outdone yourself. I haven't had that kind of emotional response wrenched from a graphic novel in ages. I just hope you know, you are absolutely adored and admired. Bravo, Ms. Cope! Three pages <3 How satisfying, too! Ugh, poor Duane. All his enchantments are still down even though the sun is up. I think Sette has a lot more to worry about now than him finding out where they are. Of course, she can cover her ass by telling him that man was a red berry boy, and showing him her hurt arm. Duane wanted to kill the red berry boys, although not like this.
    Noni Ki on
  95. I believe the word he is looking for in the last panel is "Oops!"
    cvrc11 on
  96. Was having breakfast.... lost appetite...
    Ilkyra on
  97. "mornin' sette; d'you wanna get some breakfast?"
    WitUnderPressure on
  98. Gad-freaking-zook! Now that is a sequence of pages that anyone would remember for a long while. Excellent pages! ...I wonder if Sette's going to start wearing shoes after this. That last panel, damn. Amazing work.
    Fred on
  99. Holy crap. I don't remember if the person that went in there was good or bad. Either way it looks like Duane hasn't come to his senses yet.
    on
  100. No one remembers Sette's phobia of guts and gore, way back from when she and Duane first stumbled on the Red Berry Boy's crypt? I think seeing this is going to do more than give her nightmares. Scarred for life, might possibly faint in the next two panels. Just saying.
    Daughter Of Yahweh on
  101. o hai, attack zombie! ... also, not the worst mess The Happy Tentacle has had to deal with, I'll bet.
    hannah on
  102. That could be illusion after all. Illusion to punish little girl, to scare her. To show her zombie she wanted to see all the way. Hope it is so.
    HelloKitty on
  103. yes
    necromantically on
  104. I am suprised that I am the first to mention this, but does anyone else notice that the things on page 25 look exactly like the smoke eels from when Cara died way back in chapter 2 except red this time?
    Wren on
  105. Yay! Go Duane!
    Arioch on
  106. THIS COMIC Upon seeing the latest page, I crawled under my covers and wept softly It was glorious
    Jack on
  107. Is it bad that my reaction is "Ooooh, I hope this means Duane will be back now (mentally speaking)!"? That's probably bad, isn't it? Oh well. Still happy.
    Socks on
  108. Well that was intense
    FeeBee on
  109. "Just a minute! I'm not decent."
    Unclever title on
  110. Is it bad that my internal soundtrack generator started playing "Sexy and I Know It" when I saw that last page?
    Zathyr on
  111. Excelleng job as usual Ashley. * Hrrrk * That's what I get for looking at this doing lunch break. =D =O...
    Edward on
  112. HOLY. FUCKING. SHIT. my thoughts upon sette first beginning to open the door and stepping in the gook: "i should just walk away, right now."
    ivyleaves on
  113. I bet Sette isn't so eager to warm her toes in Stockyard's blud now. http://www.casualvillain.com/Unsounded/comic/ch04/ch04_38.html
    Patrick on
  114. I'm so curious as to how the both of them are going to react it's killing me, I can't wait for an update. I expect Sette to be... Horrified. And freak out about the blood and guts like she did with the urns. Scream? I'm not sure. But I half expect her to say something like "WHAT HAVE YOU DONE?!", because to be honest... She didn't really think this through. And when Duane comes to his senses... He'll be so angry. At Sette for bringing him there, for leaving him alone with this man, and mostly at himself... I'm expecting a huge confrontation :(
    Yokomomochi on
  115. Dammit Sette! Learn to knock!
    Reveen on
  116. OH SHIT!
    TerryB on
  117. I need a "Groundhog Day" charm, or something to make me forget these three pages. Then I would use it over and over and over, just so I could relive the wonderful experience of reading them again, and again, and again ...
    84thProblem on
  118. I also really like the fact that Duane's abdomen area is most bloody... one gets the idea he's been eating Turas, having Turas fall out the bottom of him, and eating Turas again in a 20 GOTO 10 loop all night
    sigmir on
  119. sooooo, that's what duane looks like. maybe i was better off not knowing. also, the clean-up crew has one hell of a job ahead of them.
    Jack Winberry on
  120. I need to know what happens now!!! *sob sob* Duane...
    oldmanofdoom on
  121. I love how you didn't drag this out at all. So many webcomics just drag on. But you definitely wanted the full effect and here it is.
    ... on
  122. D-duane? what happend to your face? poor baby.....erm.... what did you do to your playmate?! oh well, finish breakfest
    Akai on
  123. poor duane. ...and geeze what kind of screwed up family hands a kid a vicious snake and tells em to have fun throwing it at people?
    wr4ith0 on
  124. ohmygod. Poor Sette, poor Duane. I don't think Sette had any inkling Turas went in there; she was out cold in the laundry cart when he showed up. I'm thinking she was asking Duane if he had the "monster" tied up. Apparently, he did not. Can't wait to see the next pages. Bravo, Ashley. And thanks for giving us the whole scene at once.
    malik on
  125. Awww, nice lady. > Yay, the return of Bastion! > Bastion, you cold-hearted asshole. > Jesus fucking Christ.
    gahitsu on
  126. Well, it's official. You are competing with Gunnerkrigg Court for the best webcomic of the internet.
    Corvo on
  127. ...Oh. Oh my. As much as part of me would like to see Sette chide him for eating people in public again, I'm actually enjoying seeing the more human side of her, beneath all that bravado. Also, I take it them red things are the gnawing serpents he keeps mentioning, which up to now I thought were just metaphorical. A+ on the pacing and setup there. Can't wait to see what happens next!
    Solifuge on
  128. The most important meal of the day! (Poor Sette! =( )
    Wes on
  129. Ashley, can I just say that this particular update has revealed some of your readers' more disturbing tastes...
    Daughter Of Yahweh on
  130. I wasn't sure if you were going to go there! And then you did! LOVE IT.
    Megan on
  131. Holy bazoodle! Impressive indeed... Is he just toying with that corpse, or did he actually ingest part of it I wonder.
    AeonOfTime on
  132. He has the most beautiful green eyes. :P Duane, YOU FREAKY!!!
    Doreibo on
  133. Holy mother. That is one of the best pages I have ever seen. And I read Franken Fran.
    logosloki on
  134. He's looking so much better. He obviously needed a little snack.
    Andreas on
  135. Woah. I pretty much expected what happened, but not to be shown quite so explicitely. But it's kind of honest to do it at this point and show just what kind of monster our Duane can be. Though actually, the creepiest part for me was the last panel of the second page - Sette's bare foot stepping in blood and that finger... it really made me dread clicking "next".
    Reed on
  136. Omnomnom yummy eyeballs. Now what did that meal make of him ... :)
    Corbie on
  137. Can't say Turas had that coming, but that's what you get when you're a half-decent guy among despicable people.
    Brainwright on
  138. So, I had to show this to you guys, cause I found this awesome. Akinator the Web Genius is a program that will guess a fictional character by answering yes or no questions. Duane and Sette are totally in his database! The screenshot: http://d-letion.tumblr.com/image/40190706570
    D_letion on
  139. Sette's phobia(?), Duane's fighting his hunger (how long HAD it been since he'd last eaten someone?), the only Red Berry boy Starfish respected dead, ten minutes 'til checkout... oh, the repercussions, they are a'piling... Still, have to say for all (except Starfish)- poor bastards.
    Holaved on
  140. nomnomnomnom---Mhmmmmmm. Braaaains. Lol epic pages. Fantastic.
    Shiko on
  141. Dang :X The employees of the Happy Tentacle are about to have one big gross cleanup job on their hands (or the police will).
    Thane on
  142. O.O heheheheheheheheh....awesome. XD You are amazing. I love you.
    Kyo-sama on
  143. For someone who's been gorging on guts, Duane sure looks calm and collected.
    GinjaSnap on
  144. I went back and looked at Turas's last living expression, then forward to his ravaged corpse, and I must admit I feel quite bad for him. These adventures Sette has had with Duane will be memories she'll keep for the rest of her life, for certain.
    [...] on
  145. They better leave a fat tip for the maid... I love your eyeballs!
    viewer :3 on
  146. I find I must join the chorus on how exquisite these pages are--particularly the final one! <3 The last panel of Duane has him looking so lost and forlorn, like he needs a hug, except I'm pretty sure I don't want to get eaten, too :/
    Oraxia on
  147. I am so late on praising this page but really Ashley you deserve all of the comments, this is so, so awesome. God I can't wait to see what happens next, I hope Sette doesn't run..
    Humming-fly on
  148. Oh my plod!
    Ionjam on
  149. Duane's eyes are what make this. They're so ridiculously human looking in contrast to everything non-human going on in page 25.
    BurntToShreds on
