Cute But Deadly

Our one-page comics serve up adorably dangerous characters, where charm masks chaos and sweetness hides a serious sting. From tiny creatures with massive power to unsuspecting assassins in cuddly disguises, these stories blend humor, horror, and heart in equal measure. Whether it’s a pint-sized menace or a doe-eyed hero who’s not to be messed with, expect the unexpected at every turn. Get ready for smiles, squeals, and a little bit of screaming.
