What’s Trending – Space Horror Transcript

This is a transcript of the April 6, 2021, RGBots comic.

Panel One

Blue is scanning her smartphone and commenting on something on Twitter.

Blue: So someone suggested that horror could not be set in space, today. And then followed it up with this gem.

Caption: Yes. Horror is predicated on the fear of the other, the unfamiliar in the world as we know it – space, we already don’t know it.

Panel Two

Blue stares at the reader, dumbfounded.
