Oh yeah, No moral issues with Atwood letting her freak flag fly. Probably wasn't the best business or educational choice but everybody deserves to have fun.

readcomiconline.li just uploaded what might be one of the superhero rabbit comics Ms. Atwood referred to in her introduction, and since it's only 24 small pages I may as well go through it!  One wonders just how long JJJ waited on the doorstep for Supes to get bored and utter just the right sentence.    Important crime strategy: beg the victim to co-operate.  But what's this?! stopping petty crime is opposed to good business practices? stay tuned for the next part!

I think there must have been a chapter in the first volume which hasn't been translated that explains their connection a bit more - it gets referenced later on - but I think it helps that both Miyamoto and Ootsuki's crew are fairly senior in their respective sets. I think the rest is covered by One Day Outing being a pretty optimistic work in general - consider the New Year's Eve chapter, for example.

I remembered after posting the end of chapter 34 that I had said earlier in the thread that when I was done posting I'd post the "cookbook"! Not gonna post it all, but I will include a couple standouts, whether because the recipes are interesting or because the drawings are cute.

It is established that the indentured labour program is a substitute to a prison sentence, so presumably any repeating or violent offenders would be ejected and therefore the guards don't need to be entirely on edge.

Oh, none of the underground dudes are criminals - or if they are, they're not underground because of that. They're all people who have taken extremely dodgy loans from Teai Finance, failed to pay them back normally and then failed to pay them back again through the Crime Games that Teai runs for the entertainment of its sadistic chairman. All of that happens in the original series ODO spun off of, Kaiji. I think most of the underground dudes had gambling problems, to be honest.

con'td This panel really seems like they were shooting for some kind of scene of completely unrestrained cat hedonism but this was the most imaginative scene they could conjure. Where's the mountains of catnip? The strippers?  Well, I guess this counts. Love Interest enters the scene and immediately begins caterwauling in a tune that would immediately warrant an old, large cartoon boot thrown directly at their face at Mach 10.  That light's shining directly in her eyeballs how is she even seeing that rat   But the day is saved, when  ANGEL CATBIRD uses his magnificent, angelic cat-bird powers to...deal with a rat. This is kind of a running theme in the entire comic strip where Angel Catbird's actual, demonstrated abilities are hilariously low-stakes and lovely. Also, just in case you've forgotten, our villain restates his plan to get the serum so he can gently caress his rats.   Catula fucks off, and under the suspicion that they're definitely being watched, Love Interest declares the Catastrophe a no-go zone and exiles all the patrons.   Strig is still caught in his Seraphic Felinowl form, so he consults advice from Love Interest on how to change back. This whole exchange is dumb, but I do enjoy how his transformation back to human involves his feathers just literally yeeting themselves off his body.  lady you wanted to jump every one of his 206 cat bones not a few panels ago  We cut back to Catula, who uses his vampire laser eyes to shatter a hole in the laboratory's window and grab Dr. Muroid's flash drive or something. This power never is shown again, by the way.   Enraged by this violation of his lair, Dr. Muroid summons his rat army to reign vengeance upon the cats. Honestly, I'm rooting for him.  What is it specifically that I hate about Catula's design so much? The giant Stalin-Waluigi mustache? The Bugs Bunny feet? The receding hairline? That his name is Catula?  Presumably a few days later, everyone is back to the office, forced to listen to the rantings of Dr. Muroid's rat lust.  Strig is informed that one of their own was murdered, and processes this information by briefly turning into Spock. He also receives a gift of honeycombs, which is actually his costume, which, hoo boy, you are not prepared for how goddamn lame it looks.   Oh no! Our heroes return to the Catastrophe to find out it's under attack! The rats are piling dynamite, and it's too late to stop them. Strig turns into ANGEL CATBIRD to escape it, and also the guy in the black suit is casually revealed to be a giant crow man. You want pacing or explanations in this comic? gently caress you.next Blarghalt has a new favorite as of 13:13 on Mar 10, 2024 |

cont'd  Strig is blown to strigareens, achieving the good ending.  In more low-key horniness that's somehow skeevier than actual porn, Strig thinks being told he's being consumed by flames literally means he's hot.  NO NOT ALLEYCAT who the gently caress was alleycat  i need I need you to understand what's going on here. Animals are sentient in this setting, right? This was one of their friends. A person, and they just bury him in a shallow grave in some loving random backyard.   And they get over it surprisingly quickly to go bother Catula, and decide the only way to deal with this crisis is to form a united BirdCat Liberation Front.   I wanna slow down for a second here to really hammer in how completely schizophrenic the veers are here. First, our hero discovers he's a cat hybrid. He meets Cat Dracula at a cat club, which casually reveals the existence of Cat Vampirism, and now we're going to his lair at Cat Catula. This has all the twists and turns of a 10 year old coming up with their own plot to their favorite cartoon, except a lot less coherent.  But Dr. Muroid is hot in their trail, and will have his revenge! Rat revenge! RATVENGE! That's all of the first issue for now, but don't worry! I have more things to make you angry with!  At the end of every issue of ANGEL CATBIRD is what I can only assume is commissioned art of ANGEL CATBIRD by other artists, because the alternative is too horrible to contemplate.  I'm assuming this is supposed to be Alleycat? The character that I'm not even sure is even mentioned before his death and they, once again, buried in a loving shallow grave?  This art style looks way better than the art actually used, though in pretty much any art style Catbird still looks weird and gross.  ...I'm starting to suspect this comic is an extremely roundabout way of Atwood airing out some things.  Incredibly intense painted on the side of a van energy with this one.  I wasn't kidding when I said no matter what art style he's drawn in, ANGEL CATBIRD still ends up looking like something one would have an instinctual urge to slay. And then there's this one, which was made with the amount of effort this comic actually deserves.  You thought we were done? This comic comes with notes.  The weird thing is, a lot of this concept art end looks way better than the final product.  And we arrive at why, because packed into all of this are Margaret Atwood's character designs, particularly the one for Kate, the love interest, who has what I think is one of the worst costumes I've ever seen. It also reveals how this comic is in no uncertain terms definitely a vanity project with Atwood calling all the shots.  This one I think deserves to speak for itself. It's almost impressive how there is absolutely no cohesiveness to any of this and serves only as a vehicle for Atwood to tell us lovely cat puns and cat facts. I'm gonna stop here for a second to deliver a bit of a theory of mine. You've probably read The Handmaid's Tale. You've definitely heard of it, and it mostly deserves the praise it's gotten. Except for one part. The book has an epilogue that is notoriously lovely, and resembles this comic a lot in that it serves absolutely zero purpose, adds nothing to the story, and seems to only exist as a vehicle to tell lovely jokes. What I suspect, what I deeply suspect, is that Margaret Atwood is the kind of writer who's talented, but absolutely needs an editor to be looking over her shoulder at all times and has the ability to tell her 'no', and Handmaid's Tale's epilogue and this comic are premium examples of what happens when that person isn't around. The Michael Kirkbride of feminist literature.  And just to drive home this is Atwood's passion project, here's the blurb on the back. While not explicitly crediting her as the writer, the other two are only billed as the artist and colorist, respectively, which means every line of this could've only come from Atwood herself. END OF ACT 1! I promise it gets dumber! cont'd Blarghalt has a new favorite as of 17:26 on Mar 10, 2024 |
