The Ribbon

2026 · 5 min

A quick, gleefully absurd cartoon sting that keeps its head off and its tongue firmly in cheek.

Overview: She's just a regular teen who definitely ISN'T headless, if that's what you're wondering.
How it feels: Absurd, satirical, dark and campy. Brisk and easy to follow.
About: Identity, death, isolation, madness
Content: Strong violence and gore. Mild language. No sexual content.
Note: Written by AI, so it can be wrong. Full breakdown
