When I saw this part of the comic, I thought that these objects closely resemble my sculptural work - primitive, grotesque, and darkly humorous. The story ends with the demonic entity inserting Mr Unpronounceable's own teeth into its mouth and performing unspeakable acts on the sleeping body. I strongly recommend Mr Unpronounceable Adventures if any of this seems darkly humorous to you and not merely horrific.

Mr Unpronounceable Objects
Mr Unpronounceable Adventures is a comic by Tim Molloy. Mr Unpronounceable is also the title character, a mad homeless occultist whose adventures frequently involve jarring space-time shifts, bizarre and grotesque otherworldly beings, and disturbing, visceral phenomena manifesting on his own body. In one sequence, titled "The Tooth Fairy," Mr Unpronounceable is conducting a ritual to "eradicate sadness from this coil of mortality forever." The ritual involves pulling out most of his own teeth and leaving them under his pillow. As he sleeps, a demonic, toothless entity climbs into his window and begins gumming his arm. Meanwhile, Mr Unpronounceable dreams of three strange objects on a shelf.
