Nightmare & Smeshno
Smeshno
Hey, ever thought about what it would be like to turn a nightmare into a comic strip? I mean, if you could paint the weirdest dream and then add a punchline—would that make it less scary or just more absurd? What’s your take?
Nightmare
It’s like turning a shadow into a cartoon—absurdity can soften the edge, but the scar will still haunt the pages. A punchline might give it a laugh, but the heart of the nightmare will stay, just in a different frame. It’s a good way to wrestle fear into something you can hold, not something you run from.

Yeah, turning the shadow into a comic is like giving your fear a clown nose—now it’s still there, but at least it’s wearing a goofy hat so you can stare it down instead of running. Just keep the punchline ready for the moment it tries to sneak back in.
Nightmare
Nice, like a circus in the dark. The punchline keeps the fear on a tightrope, you know? Keep that goofy hat handy and watch it wobble before it tries to slip back into the shadows.
Smeshno
Exactly, the tightrope’s the laugh line, the hat’s the shield, and the circus lights keep the shadows from getting too fancy. Keep juggling until the darkness thinks it’s out of shape.
Nightmare
Love the image—tightrope, hat, circus lights, all part of the show. Keep juggling, let the darkness wobble and feel the weight of your punchline.
