Status Updates From Man-Eaters #1

well, S.C.A.T. seems only logical.

So they do put estrogen in the water as the artist made an advertizement for estrogen free water? Putting estrogen in the water… wouldn't that counter ovulation blocking drugs? And who would put estrogen in the water supply? That would have serious consequences for not only the male human population but also the environment. I really have trouble trying go understand what this author wants to say.

Is she making fun of male domestic abuse victims?

A pamphlet speaking about cat attacks and saying that cats, like girlfriends, can never be trusted… so she really is not holding back anymore. She is basically saying that murderous predators (remember, that is what she herself introduced here) are in the eyes of these men the same as girls. Also, this seems to suggests differences in cat behavior. And what was with the prior cycle talking?

So... since she bleeds now… does that mean she will turn into a big cat right away? The earlier panels suggested so.

The hormones block ovulation? the lining of the uterus stops and never sheds…so they sterilize the girls? Does the author realize that?
I guess not since she shows men burning tampons and being misoginistic ("who bleeds for 7 days and doesn't die" and "no more blood" signs)
Considering the sort of symbolism used, I wonder if not she is afraid of period blood and female sexuality.

Btw. why are grown women fine?

They say menstruation must end because of the cats, the comic states that the gov. stated it was for their own good, they put hormones like progresterone and estrogen in the water supply and we have protestors against it with "love conquers hate" signs…. if people suddenly turn into violent monsters, that is not hate to be scared it is a national emergency.

At the onset of menstruation teen girls transform into big cats that attack everything on sight… so this is a werewolf story. Seriously, what she presents here is obviously a metaphor but one used for male sexual awakening and not female ones. Becoming muscular, aggressive and hairy monsters is something claimed to be happening to boys, not girls.

Oh my god, the comic is really not subtle here. The restrained girls have the following things on their shirts:
A female Symbole with cat ears, "Girls can do anything", "Fight like a girl" and "feminist AF"
The writer really isn't subtle here, at all. As a matter of fact, with such lack of subtlety it is usually the case in my experience that the writers are pretty much the same as what they fight against.

Why does every girl's room here have cat pictures and other cat related things?

Also, what cycle? Why wait for another cycle?

The saying is "curiosity kills the cat"... I see that subtlety is not strong with this one.

You should see that S.C.A.T team.

"Suspect a big cat attack?" That guy has two limbs ripped off, half his face and big chunks of his body missing. Apart from the fact that no human could fake that, that does not look like the attack of a big cat of any sort, that looks as if he was attacked by an allosaur. Which makes me think the artist does not know how big cat wounds look like, as otherwise the art is pretty good.

That giant double page is a waste of time and space. That one couple has a girl that bitches about alleged prostitutes being everywhere in sci-fi while the guy thinks of growing a pornstache and most of the other people either think or say the exact same thing.

These two are homicide detectives? Is it normal for homicide detectives to run around in loose skirts and biking outfits? And I am serious, the dad is dressed as if he wants to go to a bike race.

This dad is really odd. And what dad with a daughter that age and of his age would use Monthy Python references? I think the author did not keep up with the times.

Apart from the fact that there is insane cat symbolism here, I also remembered why that cover looks so familiar. It is similar to some posters for revolution. The raise feature in several and some even have three arms with clenched fists in the same position as these three cat legs.

The girl is twelve and when she talks to the reader about how her dad is a cop and how she could describe him she pictures Magnum and one guy from Miami Vice. And you see, I have no idea whether I get that reference and I am definitely old enough for that. How disconnected from the world is this author/artist?

How old is this girl supposed to be? Because she looks like she is still pre-puberty and plays with tampons but yet she has some weird fantasy about a tampon woman fighting a mr. misogyny tampon who has a castle of misogyny and fights for the systemic oppression of women. Said tampon even says the personal is political. That sounds like some weird sort of activist, not like a preteen girl.

" Part Cat People, part The Handmaid’s Tale, ?"
So this is about women popping out babies while transforming into cats? That advertisement already sound fake as shit.

1st page has a comic within a comic, illustrating a character's imagination. 2nd page has some great 4th wall breaking. And I'm loving the layout. And plenty more awesome. Back to reading.
