The Portal in the Closet
Take a peek…if you dare!
Step beyond the ordinary and into the unknown with this week’s theme: The Portal in the Closet! Our one-page comics explore the mysteries hidden just behind the wardrobe doors — strange worlds, forgotten realms, and secrets waiting to be discovered. Whether it’s a kid stumbling into an interdimensional adventure, a monster using the portal to sneak into our world, or a doorway leading somewhere no one was meant to go, these stories dive into the thrill and terror of the unknown.
