Lucky me - i found this older comic - am a bit behind on my schedule. I could start uploading the next chapter, but i am just 2 weeks advanced right now...
So, about this comic -is it canon? Is it not? How real is Bob and the nightmare King? The situation of this comic is a real fear Gabriel has. She thinks, Bob lives with her in the basement but since he is just a figment of her imagination, his life is not really ... fleshed out. she doesnt provide food, she doesnt get him to school - he is convenient. The angel on her shoulder.
In my mind Bob is firmly part of that whole nightmarisch side to Gabriels visions. He is the contrast that makes that terrible world scary and in need to be fought against. Its basically... Bob for scale.
