The year 2021 was a renaissance for online sequential art, particularly within the realms of Twitter, Reddit (r/nosleep, r/comics), and Instagram. Amidst the sea of webtoons and slice-of-life doodles, one particular dark horse emerged from the shadows to grip readers by the throat: The Neighbors Curse comic.

Panel 2: Leo sits cross-legged on his floor, defeated. He writes a new note: “Sold my speakers. Bought earplugs. The curse wins.”
