Overcast with a Chance of Doom - Putting the Fun back in [comic, fan edit]

"On the run from her past, Doomie finds herself living in a haunted house with four weird roommates."

This came out in the 2010s, and is from the same guy who did the "Writhe and Shine" strips posted earlier. The artist/writer eventually shifted to other work, though the comic strip archive is still online.

More info about the artist:

edit notes: added labels and background, changed from 1x5 to 2x2. this involved removing the last panel, but I think that was good bc the last panel kind of wrecked the punchline. Also, in the original, the words "funeral director" were hard to read so I had to enlarge the nameplate and re-do the wording. This resulted in top of the nameplate being a little blurry, but I think if I messed with it some more it'd just make it worse.

Goth (stereo)Type 13 - The Victorian Goth [comic / meme]

::: spoiler Image Text
One of the biggest influences of Gothic fashion has been the imagery in Gothic literature and their movie counterparts, particularly that of Victorian writers such as Edgar Allen Poe and Bram Stoker. Victorian fashions like corsets, lace, frock coats and pale skin are popular throughout the scene, but maybe none wear them with as much style as the Victorian Goth.

Like their Victorian role models, the Victorian Goths wish to convey an image of decorum and dignity. Clothes must be smart and, for many, historically accurate (corsets are to be worn beneath one's garments, of course). Ball dress and mourning garb are particularly prominent in the scene.

Victorian Goths may also indulge in activities that were popular in Victorian high society, including threatre, masquerades, tea parties and poetry. And, naturally, any kind of Dickensian or other Victorian festival that gives them an excuse to parade around in costume (not that they need an excuse).

As for music, opera and classical are the true Victorian Gothic genres, but Victorian-inspired bands such as Rasputina are also acceptable.
