That I would agree with.
Lucid TV is... well, a bit TOO over the top for me.

As to the in flagrante image in the next to last panel, 1. I'm not convinced it's Faye (was thinking Tai, actually, but who knows) since the eyebrows look different, 2. based on the image from two panels earlier (panel 15), she is apparently in flagrante with some kind of zombie dog-man.
I have not seen the movie Possession, but I've seen The Brood and Don't Look Now. Can anyone who's seen Possession tell me how it compares creepyness-wise to those or other films?
I do like panels 7-10 from a purely artistic point of view.

-reason for inconsistent clothes is that the whole thing takes place over many days
-change in jacket color between 1 and 2 is a mistake though, i forgot to fill in his jacket in the second panel
-it is faye throughout, no tais here, i dont think the eyebrows look that different!
also yeah drawing people that do not look prematurely middle-aged in my style is tougher than one might think

Without the reference to the movie, the strip would've left me confused. I will say this, though: you do an awesome job with Jeph's characters.

Aha! Thank you for the clarification. ^_^ The "takes place over many days" makes sense. Perhaps the eyebrow difference I'm seeing is more one of facial expression. Also, looking at it again, the zombie dog-man thing seems to have tentacle arms (I initially thought she was restrained via more ordinary means), which makes that image more freaky, though that must have been your intention.
I think I'm gonna have to find a copy of that movie now . . .
