Claudellart
With more anxiety...
Annie

Kelley Gillespie
Same here. Instant cringe when I think of it. Adam you have become immortal in my mind with this fear. 🤣
Leelynn Brady
Nah the fact that he didn't immediately start screaming when it was long was the first red flag lol
MDyson
Same here. I was actually just thinking about it again today, while I was picking at my own thumb hangnail. Hahaha.
Jessica Confessore
I will forever be haunted by this comic. I think about it at least once a day.
Lina Chen
I show this to my daughter to get her to stop peeling her hangnails. Not sure if it has been effective.
Gabriela
Why’s it so funny though??
Amanda Muller
Major junji ito vibes with the body horror
Green

sophie

Ooooooh I *hate* the frame with the skin on the floor. It gave me huge 2014 Under the Skin energy, and I hate *that* scene so much. Great remake of the original. I knew what was coming and was horrified anyway. Masterful! 👏👏👏

The last frame cracks me up. That‘s exactly how a teen would react and the ikea-like furniture is a nice touch. Makes it that much more believable 👏🏻

I think this is the only comic you’ve done that genuinely made me uncomfortable. Like a nightmare I’d wake up from in a cold sweat.
Ali Wakerley
This is truly what parenting teens is like
Natalie Burton
Reminds me of my fave Ito story, “Flesh Colored Horror.”
Alex Annje
Nah, looks worse than it is.
Morgan Elizabeth Neuschafer
Oooo hate it and it's awesome

"No, it's fine it's fine just go to the bathroom, let's get you cleaned up, it's okay just don't touch the white sheets"
Gabriella Klengler
Truly honestly the most unsettling comic I’ve ever seen from you and I do love it 😅
Gabriella Klengler
This is so much worse ! Thanks !
The Blackbird

Darren Tuer

Gee thanks, the original still haunts my thoughts every time I get a hangnail. Glad I have this whole new version to haunt me too.
India Voerman
I do feel old indeed. Still remembered this comic!
Brett H.
I knew it was coming but I STILL audibly gasped when he started pulling. Well done 👍
Rabaerchen
It's not bad, barely noticed it.
Mareile Klose
I would ^^

This def feels like an allegory for addiction. The mc picking at his hangnail out of boredom/"satisfaction", seeing the consequences it had, and yet not being able to stop once he starts. To the point he literally sheds his skin and becomes unrecognizable, no longer able to hide his addiction. "Is it bad? It's not that bad, right?" Those words had a huge impact and really sold it for me. Idk, maybe I'm overthinking, but I really like the idea of it. Super cool work, as always
CJ Spargo
Like a babybel cheese
Patrick Dasher
I was going to say this exact thing
LilChestnut14
I remember. I felt it the same way as back when I saw it the first time
Licia
WHY WOULD HE KEEP PULLING?! WHY WOULD ANYONE KEEP PULLING?!
Lenzalot
Thanks for the body horror you SOB
Aviv
Oh god NO 💀
adamantEVA
This is one of my irrational fears and it made me ill, but good job
Grady McCoy
The eerie suspense of each panel was PERFECT. 🧵
xyull
I love how you channeled Junji Ito in your own Adamtots style. So good.
Eli
He just needs to accessories a little. Some dangly earrings will bring out those muscle contour lines
Rach Meister
Omg, the shivers down my spine seeing the hangnail skin pull 😬 that's the scariest part. My shoulders are up to my ears in discomfort 😱😱😱
Grace 'Gengar' Soria
The new version feels very Junji Ito
Louise
I normally rip my hangnails out with tweezers it’s satisfying
