It’s reminiscent of a well known horror comic called Enigma of Amigara Fault. The subject of many memes and references; https://amp.knowyourmeme.com/memes/it-was-made-for-me-this-is-my-hole

The show is loosely based on a standalone Sandman spinoff comic that I think is quite good.

I love old gravestones, I wish things like winged skulls and whimsical poems were still in fashion.

We were in Puerto Rico for our winter maintenance period, just starting to bring on crew for the sailing season. I’ve never worked on a boat where people drink underway and I don’t think I’d want to.

On boats you usually don’t get told you’re fired until you reach port.

Working on a boat. We got a new shipmate who had worked there on previous seasons, most of us didn’t know him but he was good friends with another member of the crew. The day he got in the two of them spent the night catching up and getting absolutely trashed. Night ended with new guy stumbling in to the cook’s cabin and pissing right on the cook while he was sleeping. New guy was fired that morning without having worked a single day.
