Part 8 of 12

Summary:

The city has been overrun of late, invaded by a strange wave of eccentric criminals. There are men dressed as kangaroos waging a righteous war against the shopping world, omniscient elephants looking for a good grift, leopards and lions feuding over territory and tadpoles with laser eyes. And nothing can stop them, nothing can reason with them or contain them or predict them; and they continue to emerge, reminding humanity of its disgraces, its nightmares and its shameful secret that beneath all the veneers and delusions of civility, we are all truly animals struggling against our chains.

And amidst all this chaos and absurdity, there emerges the Monkey Boy. He came from nowhere. He has no name, no voice and no pants. But he does have an insatiable love of sprinkles, a nearly infinite number of alternate forms that bestow on him additional powers, and a sword shaped like a banana. He is a creature of a different and unknowable sort and may be humanity’s last hope to finally and truly cage the beasts within.

Part 8: “The Littlest Death:”

SEX!

Okay, now that I’ve got your attention, let’s talk about sex. And supervillains! And supervillains who use sex as a weapon. But not like that, not like you’re thinking now. This guy’s even worse than that, this guy uses societal stigmas of sexuality to bewilder and confuse his enemies. And, if left unchecked, he threatens to usher in a new age where human beings are comfortable in their skin, where prejudices based on sexuality can’t possibly exist and where the whole of the human race thinks that sex is okay. Can anybody stop this fiend before it’s too late?
