Funny enough nobody including the author seems to think about "being stomped to death by a rhino" or "stabbed with a rhino horn" or various other things because yes, a lot of herbivores will loving fight to the death in real life.

EDIT: Also yes, the human kid's Species Has Characteristic is "Tool Use". Also, there' a cat who's a car mechanic. No, the comic doesn't seem to think these don't match up.

How did they build houses? How did they make clothes? You need tools to do that.

Can't forget, the human's Species Trait is also "curiosity". Yes this is meant to differentiate him from animals.

Yeah, tool use in humans irl is notable but everyone in hellworld uses tools, also even irl there are other animals that are able to make and use tools. If you're actually looking for a human trait in a world where everyone has sapience and more or less the ability to walk upright, I'd probably go with endurance, or maybe even just not fitting into the rules of Hellworld because he's not from a species extensively tweaked and modified by the birds, but whatever.

Wellllll...

Locusts are a set of species of grasshopper. And they're unique from other grasshoppers in that they have a sort of molt-based phase change they can go through in life in reaction to environmental stimuli that switches them from acting and looking pretty much exactly like other grasshoppers into the jacked up swarm monsters we think of as locusts and back. So they are sort of the same thing. That said you don't have to hand it to Holbrook.

Given modern Jug being ace, it's interesting to see his lack of interest in women this long ago.

In other news, Georgia Dunn says todays BCN is the official end of the World War Mole which started June 19 and that she cut out several side plots to get it to its breezy five months of storyline. :psyduck:

Yeah, Jughead being uninterested in/sometimes repulsed by women has been core characterization for as long as Archie has been a thing, iirc? I've seen people argue that it may have been intended as gay coding, and I know there has been some drama in modern Archie fandom (what a delightful phrase) about writers choosing to make him ace because of that potential coding.

I wonder how much of that is amplified due to the Riverdale canon having him just be plain ol' straight around the same time.
