Butter Corn Ramen (Full Comic)
🕑 Added 2020-06-11 02:34:04 +0000 UTCHere's the full comic, as promised!
Back in 2015, I traveled up through Northern Japan. On my birthday in Hokkaido, I had butter corn ramen in a tiny restaurant I don't remember the name of, and wound up going back multiple times because I liked it so much. After having it for dinner three days in a row, I started feeling sick and had awful nightmares. This comic is inspired by a dream I had. I tried making it into a comic back in 2017, but after drawing the first page I came down with a horrible flu and wound up having to go to the emergency room for exhaustion and dehydration. When I finally felt better again, I decided to move on to other comics. But this always stuck with me, so I decided to finally draw the whole comic.

This comic introduced me to butter corn ramen, and it is now one of my favorite ways to make ramen. I should buy some corn...
Needs a trypophobia trigger warning lol

This one needs the horror tag! It gives me Junji Ito vibes!

1. I generally don't like corn, off the cob. 2. I've started adding more creative notes to my food orders, as necessary. I added the note, "no corn, please. It creeps me out. Reminds me of teeth. :( " While not the depiction you used in your story, I'm still attributing this to you. I already didn't like corn. But now corn is creepy.
