You might think this is just a typical cartoon where a lonely desert-dwelling child’s only friend is a freakish buzzard. But, not so! Check out Little Otis’s blank, pupil-less stare in the second panel. That buzzard isn’t his friend at all; it’s hypnotizing him. Imagine “How should I introduce you to my mom, Wadsworth?” spoken in an eerie monotone. The only introducing that’s going to happen will come once Otis, under Wadsworth’s mesmerizing gaze, murders his parents and “introduces” the foul carrion eater to their delicious corpses.

Date taken: May 4-5,2024 Video resolution: 4K HDR UHD Mr. Kuroda's Residence( 黒田和重 Kazushige Kuroda), 　　　This garden is managed with a policy limiting the number of people allowed inside, and I was granted permission by Mr. Kuroda to enter during the brief evening hours. 　　　Despite the slightly dim conditions, I attempted to use this to my advantage in the presentation. I refrained from excessive editing or color grading and published it in its most raw form. 0:00 Opening 1:26 Approach アプローチ 3:44 Lower part of the wall on the side of the garden 庭の側面の壁、下方部分 5:58 Front yard 前庭 7:08 Upper part of the wall on the side of the garden 庭の側面の壁、上方部分 9:57 House 家 11:58 Courtyard 中庭 16:42 Flower bed along the road 道路わきの花壇 18:15 Low plants, perennials 低い植物、宿根草 21:25 Work space 作業スペース 22:43 At dusk 夕暮れの黒田邸 　　The dappled sunlight(Sunlight that filters through the leaves of trees.)in the garden seems meticulously calculated. 　　It seems that this year, the Pierre de Ronsard roses on the garden wall have been mostly lost due to insect damage.
