Dream Diary #2
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeIn "Dead Larry," writer and artist Larry Johnson crafts a surreal, dreamlike journey where a man named Larry finds himself caught between forbidden moments and impossible transformations. As he navigates a world where firemen block his lens and fallen trees turn into giant loaves of bread, the line between reality and the subconscious begins to blur. The story, illustrated entirely by Johnson with his signature hand-drawn style, unfolds in a single, haunting sequence that lingers long after the final panel.
In "Industrial Journey," Larry and his friend Bill take a simple walk that spirals into an unexpected exploration of a forgotten corner of town, where abandoned houses rise with unsettling, almost mechanical precision. The quiet streets give way to structures that feel both familiar and deeply wrong, leaving them to wonder what kind of past shaped this place.
In "At the Movies," Larry finds himself trapped in a dream where he’s the only one who can run a malfunctioning projector at a silent film screening. As he struggles to keep the reels turning, the audience’s growing frustration builds around the timeless charm of a Betty Boop cartoon playing on the screen.
In "Fire," Larry navigates a dream world where a fireman bars him from photographing a burning house—only to later snap a shot of a fallen tree on the road. The tree transforms into a towering loaf of sliced bread, its pieces being hauled away by a group of shirtless men. Written by an unnamed author and illustrated by an unnamed artist, the story unfolds with quiet surrealism, blurring the line between memory and the uncanny.
