COMMENTS: Visual Text Jovial dialogue, but an underpinning of psychological torment and a hint of ghosty/dreamworldliness. You can catch a whiff of it in the excerpt: "He kills every one who laughs at him." (cf. the movie "Joker", right?). Worth a look, if you're looking for something on the darker side. The storyline itself might need to be enhanced, and probably modernized.
