Comic Thought

So, I can tell that the whole point of "Rose is Rose" is to be insufferably, suffocatingly cute. "CUTECUTECUTECUTECUTE!" the writer seems to want to plaster over every strip. But to me, the artwork suggests less "cute characters of cuteness!" and more "demonic creatures from a horrible hell dimension":

Remember, you can click on the picture to enlarge the horror.

Look at that hideous baby in the second-to-last panel! I'd be less inclined to put sunscreen on it than to douse it with Holy Water--I'd expect it to disintegrate into ashes, but whatever it takes to keep it from eating my brain. (Yes, I know I'm mixing monsters here, but that creature could be anything.)
