If you’re a fan of the show and you only bought Diario 3 back in the day, do yourself a favor. Track down the special edition of Diario 1 (the one with the blacklight). Pour a Pitt Cola (or a cup of coffee). Turn off the lights. And spend an evening getting lost in the woods with Stanford Pines.

The first few pages are clean. Clinical. He’s writing like a scientist cataloging insects. But as you flip through, you see the handwriting get shakier. Ink splatters appear. You realize you’re watching a man slowly realize that the laws of physics don’t apply here. He goes from “That’s a peculiar gnome” to “The gnomes are trying to harvest my teeth” in about ten pages. It’s dark, it’s funny, and it’s heartbreaking.
