Grand Ballroom of Doom

By June 21, 2021

One panel comic from the series "Grand Ballroom of Doom" depicting a couple-- a woman in a dress that looks distressed, and a man holding a rifle-- witnessing a large fire breakout in their rural neighborhood. The fire is interrupting a "Personality Reveal Party," and the man is saying (to the woman) "In retrospect, that WAS a very E.S.F.P thing to do."
