Dark and unsettling, this comic takes us out of our comfort zone. With tight economical writing, and expressive moody artwork, this short story quickly establishes an alternate reality, where just a simple change to the zoological hierarchy turns the stomach and forces us to look at the things we’d prefer stay hidden.
Mike Dawson The Fifth Quarter, Troop 142
A cautious tale that pits a man who sees the world differently than it sees itself, the enormity of being different pulls at you in every panel. The weight of a lifetime of inertia keeping you locked into your role is staggeringly difficult to overcome, and this story addresses just that kind of struggle beautifully.

…this is an incredible comic book. I don’t know if Eric Grissom is making commentary on the food system or labor or life in general, but it’s really good. It makes you think and wonder and while I only have guesses I’m okay with that because the story is so rewarding.
