Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:

Inspired by the dark imagination of Edward Gorey, Envious Siblings is a twisted and hauntingly funny debut. Comics artist Landis Blair interweaves absurdist horror and humor into brief, rhyming vignettes at once transgressive and hilarious. In Blair's surreal universe, a lost child watches as bewhiskered monsters gobble up her fellow train passengers; a band of kids merrily plays a gut- churning game with playground toys; and two sisters, grinning madly, tear each other apart. These charmingly perverse creations take ordinary settings-- a living room, a subway car, a playground-- and spin them in a nightmarish direction.

The malicious playground -- My suspicious sister -- The envious siblings -- The refinement tree -- The awful underground -- Honourable beasts -- Grounded -- Danse macabre.
