In a world where horror meets humor, a captivating four-panel comic strip titled "Exorcism" has taken Reddit by storm. The comic brilliantly satirizes the age-old ritual of exorcism, juxtaposing it with the dark side of modern social media.

**First Panel:**

The scene is set in a dimly lit bedroom, creating an eerie atmosphere. A possessed individual, with a wild expression and disheveled hair, lies chained to the bedposts. Three characters stand nearby: a priest holding a book, a detective smoking a pipe, and a person clutching a cross. The detective, realizing the exorcism isn't effective, suggests taking a break with the line, "This exorcism isn’t working! Let’s take 5."

**Second Panel:**

The tension eases as the priest and detective step aside for a break. The priest, now seated and engrossed in a phone, voices a common sentiment: "Man, social media really brings out the worst in people." The detective stands nearby, also absorbed in their phone and pipe.

**Third Panel:**

In a darker setting, the priest becomes alarmed as the phone screen illuminates with the ominous words, "BRINGS… OUT… THE… WORST…" This revelation sets the stage for the comic's c*****.

**Fourth Panel:**

Returning to the bedroom, the priest, detective, and the person with the cross resume their positions. The priest now presses the phone against the possessed person's face, showing them something horrifying on the screen. The possessed individual looks utterly terrified, eyes wide and mouth agape. The detective adds to the chaos, urging, "Read the replies! READ THEM!!!"

Reddit users have engaged with the comic enthusiastically, adding their own humorous twists. One user commented, "Guess I’ve been exorcised so much I might as well be zen itself." Another mused, "Horror movies could've been so much shorter if the characters just showed the ghost a Twitter thread."

Adding to the toolkit of exorcists, one user humorously suggested, "I'll add Doomscroll to the exorcist toolkit." Another playful interaction referenced the iconic line from 'The Exorcist,' saying, "Your mother is an incel living in his parent's basement in hell, Karras!"

The comic's punchline, "The power of Reddit compels you! The power of Reddit compels you!" has resonated with many, encapsulating the absurdity and humor of the modern digital age. Another user hilariously remarked, "Well, now she's possessed by 238 demons. I'm not really sure what I expected here."

This comic strip cleverly blends the s****y elements of traditional exorcisms with the contemporary horrors of social media, offering a laugh-out-loud experience for those who stumble upon it. The dark, grayish tones of the artwork, punctuated by the bright screen glow, add to the overall eerie yet comedic effect, making it a must-see for fans of both horror and humor.

Your mother is an incel living in his parent's basement in hell, Karras! And, of course, "The power of Reddit compels you! The power of Reddit compels you!"
