Beware the Path and Snow

hmm today i will “Walls have ears. Doors have eyes. Trees have voices. Beasts tell lies. Beware the path. Beware the snow. You think you know.”

A crude four-panel drawing shows a stick figure announcing “hmm today i will,” then entering an increasingly chaotic red-and-black landscape filled with shadowy figures and scribbles. The final panel shows the figure overwhelmed beneath a warning poem about walls, doors, trees, beasts, the path, and the snow. The joke is surreal psychological horror: an ordinary plan escalates into an ominous nightmare, making it useful as a reaction to situations that suddenly feel cursed or far more dangerous than expected.
