I really like this one... DV isn't okay and I'm happy they found a way to get out
Jamie13
2025-02-02 03:39:26 +0000 UTCThe point is that women have gotten very good at hiding it, but even from the conversation there’s very subtle hints. It’s increasingly sad that women are kind of trained to be very nice even when talking about their abusers. She talks about him being mad or still having a rough day at work. It’s very obvious he’s taking it out on her, why else would she take ownership of those feelings?
Basura
2024-11-17 19:38:04 +0000 UTCYeah I realized that, almost right after I commented.. 😅

Cat Warren
2024-04-30 05:21:19 +0000 UTCI didn't see it at first or second read but in the frame that just has Thursday on it, you can see her right eye blackened. It's very faint, zoom in.

Cassie Greeley
2024-04-15 14:15:18 +0000 UTCOmg did she wear glasses because he gave her a black eye??
Eleni
2024-04-14 20:25:28 +0000 UTCShe didn’t get the black eye until after the pork chops.

2024-04-12 18:22:34 +0000 UTCI noticed the sunglasses and then went back and saw the scarf. I knew something was up before, but those confirmed it.

2024-04-10 09:58:53 +0000 UTCI'm glad to see this after leaving an abusive relationship.
DNL
2024-04-10 09:00:41 +0000 UTCFor the sake of it being a short story and needing to impart information to the reader quickly, I think it's fine
D. Alfonso
2024-04-09 04:47:52 +0000 UTC@Dee Bee It's there, but it's very faint.
D. Alfonso
2024-04-09 04:42:59 +0000 UTCI don't see any black eye anywhere
Dee Bee
2024-04-08 21:51:56 +0000 UTCAt first she wears the coat, then a scarf and ultimately the glasses
Rinaldy Capellan
2024-04-08 14:54:17 +0000 UTCYou are correct. Not every woman is hiding domestic violence. I also wear sunglasses daily (I have transition lenses). But in this story, the main character is clearly a victim of worsening domestic violence from the captions. She covers her one eye the first two days, then covers both eyes with sunglasses the last day. I think it's a reasonable conclusion that the sunglasses are a visual clue to the worsening domestic violence she's suffering. If I've misread the story, I'd love to know why you think so.
Ray Cornwall
2024-04-07 12:54:32 +0000 UTCYou have to reread the character's dialogue to get the hints, also if you watch closely on the main character she is hiding a black eye on the right eye.
S C A
2024-04-07 11:10:23 +0000 UTCYou do realise that women wear sunglasses because it's bright outside, right? Not every woman is hiding domestic violence
Alexandra Knight
2024-04-06 21:48:28 +0000 UTCMy only problem is that, while I get that the sunglasses are supposed to indicate that she's hiding domestic violence, her eyes don't look damaged. The same happens with her eyes not covered in the first two days. I love the story; I'm just thinking the visual cues could be improved to help the story.
Ray Cornwall
2024-04-06 19:11:25 +0000 UTCDidn't get it on first reading because I thought it was going to be cannibalism or vampirism or something along those lines, but then I spotted the little signs of DV and this is so much better! Love the little smile as she looks at the can in the penultimate frame
Lizzie Rowe
2024-04-06 10:59:25 +0000 UTCOh. Oh my god you are not kidding it's so subtle. Incredible details.
LUCIIFER
2024-04-06 05:52:53 +0000 UTCgood for her
evie
2024-04-06 03:25:24 +0000 UTCThe scarf and the sunglasses are so subtle but so important to understand the twist. Well done! 🥺
Thia
2024-04-06 02:41:45 +0000 UTCI must say, though, I do love me a good Underwood deviled ham sandwich
Colleen Rose
2024-04-05 20:11:49 +0000 UTCThe deli case appears to those who need it...
Katie Wudel
2024-04-05 18:36:06 +0000 UTCI’m from British Columbia and lone fruit and veg stands are common here too. I’ve seen baked goods too but definitely never meat lol
ShellBee
2024-04-05 01:22:34 +0000 UTCi didn't like this one 😭 in terms of the twist
Noèlia Vidal Diaz
2024-04-04 10:40:44 +0000 UTCSo the way out was always there: a sandwich! The simplest and easiest! Glad she got rid of him ;)
Barbi Gala
2024-04-03 08:15:21 +0000 UTCIt's even better the second time around

tallasianchick
2024-04-02 02:08:38 +0000 UTCI live in Nova Scotia, and we do have these stands (for vegetables and fruits though, I've never seen one for meat :P )
Thaumatomane
2024-04-01 21:25:58 +0000 UTCThis is real right? Like not with meat I don't think but aren't their unmanned food stands in parts of Canada that work on the honor system? You just find them around, leave money/venmo, grab the food and go.

2024-04-01 13:39:24 +0000 UTCGoodbyyeeeee Earrrrlllllll! 💃🏼
Claire S
2024-04-01 06:31:42 +0000 UTCAbsolutely loved this- yeah, I was wondering why she kept saying it's her fault that she is not doing enough for husband, and that he gets angry easily- I have friends who were in abusive relationships- and I was reminded... But what an ending, that little wink

L S
2024-03-31 14:01:13 +0000 UTCI missed that! Thanks for pointing out!
Vicki Fraser
2024-03-31 12:18:55 +0000 UTCThe slight shading under the sunglasses!! And the fact that she added one time of clothing /accessory everyday to cover up the abuse! Brilliant attention to detail.
Ashalaxmi Adhya
2024-03-31 11:52:36 +0000 UTCNo. It's just telling a story without telling the whole story. In Perfection.

Desi M
2024-03-31 11:00:06 +0000 UTCIt’s so subtle, yet so telling. She seems to be in an abusive relationship. Good for her she met the other lady!
LaFayettes artbin
2024-03-31 08:37:07 +0000 UTCI appreciate any suspicious meat story that isn't about cannibalism. Or at least, isn't revealed to be cannibalism, I can't rule anything out.

2024-03-31 02:39:47 +0000 UTCLove the subtlety
Kayrue
2024-03-31 02:28:25 +0000 UTCI feel it akin to the old fairy tales where the protagonist must find food for abusive family members, and by some miracle they find it, either via a fey like entity or unlikely spot in the woods. Then, eventually the abusive family gets greedy, as the food the protagonist brings is never enough, and something bad happens, freeing the protagonist from their bondage.
Liam Barnes
2024-03-31 02:23:11 +0000 UTClol it represents her scruples disappearing

2024-03-31 01:49:46 +0000 UTCThere’s also a bruise on her wrist on that first day! You can see it when she says, “I hate disappointing him” :(

Shea Antoinette
2024-03-31 00:58:24 +0000 UTCFrom the cover, I expected something gruesome. I was a bit relieved that it wasn't, lol.
pricolatino
2024-03-31 00:58:17 +0000 UTCI think the freezer is from Hell. The way it melted the snow around it, making a circle of exposed dirt while everything else is like a meter snowed under. The ham I think is poisonous. Like the way the freezer collects payment in the form of human souls.
Pingu
2024-03-31 00:55:29 +0000 UTCOoooh yea. It’s shaded just a smidge more. Nice catch.
Dawnette
2024-03-31 00:32:04 +0000 UTCYou can even see a bruise if you look closely in the panel with sunglasses.
Katie
2024-03-31 00:05:33 +0000 UTCThis isn't horror, it's justice.
Johanna Swanson-Stearns
2024-03-30 23:55:57 +0000 UTCI actually call my husband “husband” lmao
Ladytore
2024-03-30 23:55:50 +0000 UTCHmm. The big sunglasses. The beer bottles.
Dawnette
2024-03-30 23:38:42 +0000 UTC😳😳😳
Maya Davis
2024-03-30 23:36:58 +0000 UTCShe doesn’t need to cook for said abusive husband anymore, which was why she was initially going to the case for the meat. She can cook what she wants for herself now.
Kat Harding
2024-03-30 23:24:32 +0000 UTCI also thought that she started wearing scarves and glasses to hide black eyes and hand marks on her neck when she started with neither.
Pulsating
2024-03-30 23:17:24 +0000 UTC...Ambiguity works SO well for horror.
MitchellTF
2024-03-30 23:15:18 +0000 UTCActually, polka dot, to plain green, then back...
FoxxyNerd
2024-03-30 23:11:07 +0000 UTCAnyone else notice the scarf go from plain green to yellow polka dots?
FoxxyNerd
2024-03-30 23:05:56 +0000 UTCThe devil is in the details (or maybe I'm reading way too much into it), but the final meat is processed, unlike the first two options. She chose natural meats for her husband, but the blonde lady suggests a kind that is a departure from health. That type of food kills you. Sometimes, women in abusive relationships have no means to break away traditionally, so they approach with quieter, more desperate means. Of course, junk food won't kill him in a literal, real-world sense, but her taking the step to disregard his health is a step in that direction of payback.
Han Tran
2024-03-30 23:04:27 +0000 UTCSo. Good. 👏🏼👏🏼 I love your collaborations with other artists for backgrounds. ✨️✨️
Robyn
2024-03-30 23:02:47 +0000 UTCWow. Think this is my absolute all time favorite of yours. Love the empowering ending and the super small subtleties. I had to read the comic 3x (and read the comments) to fully understand. Well done
Lavender Malin
2024-03-30 22:49:07 +0000 UTCHell yeah

2024-03-30 22:47:10 +0000 UTCThank you! I didn’t notice that! Now I really appreciate the story!
Sebastian Solli
2024-03-30 22:23:14 +0000 UTCA needful things style deli for victims of DV. The subtleties in this one were great. Excellent work.
Kelley Gillespie
2024-03-30 22:15:17 +0000 UTCis this hunting or gathering? :P
Ethan Farron
2024-03-30 22:12:01 +0000 UTCI think the freezer is a symbol for how focusing on your abusive partner eats away at you
Samantha Maroussis
2024-03-30 22:01:52 +0000 UTCThis is cute but it’s a little weird that the woman calls her husband “my husband” in her own inner thoughts instead of thinking of his name
Chloé Soustiel
2024-03-30 22:00:41 +0000 UTCHe's beating her.
Jessica St. Hill
2024-03-30 21:55:55 +0000 UTCI don’t think the ham is poisonous, probably just easy to hide poison in. We don’t know why the freezer is there
Lori L

Nils Thüsing
2024-03-30 21:47:11 +0000 UTCCan someone please, please explain it to me? I get the abusive husband thing... but why is there a freezer in the middle of the woods and how did that other woman know the ham is poisonous (or was it coincidental)? Like I presume both are eating whatever is been cooked? Or why isn't she dead?
Chatura Muthukumarana
2024-03-30 21:44:54 +0000 UTCI mean he's drinking and beating her so yeah I'd say he's a deadbeat.
Kelly Broomhall
2024-03-30 21:43:14 +0000 UTCHell yeah ladies. Forest meat for forever dinner
Fiver
2024-03-30 21:39:27 +0000 UTCThat better be part 2. Unless the husband is ultimately a deadbeat.
Mark Vandevelde
2024-03-30 21:34:28 +0000 UTCIs it still horror if it's a happy ending?

CharlesYYZ
2024-03-30 21:24:59 +0000 UTCThe super subtle bruises (wrist and eye) with the progressively layered clothing.. damn. This was a good one.
Lumi
2024-03-30 21:24:09 +0000 UTCWhat the others said about the abusive husband, and her covering up with more layers and the sunglasses, as well as her language. But ALSO, did anyone else see the hint about the husband being an alcoholic too? There were 3(?) pints of beer next to the second dinner she cooked.
Nim Williams
2024-03-30 21:20:46 +0000 UTCPls let there be a part two or something 😭😭

D
2024-03-30 21:03:46 +0000 UTCHad to zoom in to see that one of her eyes is bruised under the sunglasses. The other woman probably picked up on it, hence her death ham recommendation. This was a good one! Now she can cook something for herself.
BirdofConsiderableSize
2024-03-30 21:02:39 +0000 UTCBut… Why is there a meat case in the middle of the woods?
Erin Entringer
2024-03-30 20:58:46 +0000 UTCThe subtleties with the scarf and sunglasses are a good touch
CGGuardian
2024-03-30 20:56:03 +0000 UTCIt would assume she’s being abused by her husband. The scarf, then the sunglasses. It’s like a magic meat case for those in need.
Stephanie Mora
2024-03-30 20:55:03 +0000 UTCVictims of physical abuse will often cover their scars and bruises inflicted by their partner with additional layers of clothing- thulsly the scarf and glasses being added while subtle lines of dialogue show that she's a victim of domestic violence "He can be so impatient" "He gets upset so easily these days" and the most telling of all "It's my fault really" (unfortunately this is a VERY real feeling among domestic violence survivors. I myself have not yet gotten over this one completely). I'm not sure I understand any symbolism of the deviled ham being the final note, but the food is going to poison the abusive husband. The blonde used it to off her (presumed, from facial expressions) abuser. I'm not certain why she won't be back again unless she's going to off herself with meat that might be killing them both slowly.
Brandon Scott Jensen
2024-03-30 20:54:36 +0000 UTCher husband was abusive and the drviled ham will kill him the other woman did the same to her husband

Celeste Garcia
2024-03-30 20:49:19 +0000 UTCHell yeah
Allison M
2024-03-30 20:48:04 +0000 UTCThe fact she comes back with a scarf and then later with sunglasses… hope he enjoys the deviled ham
Bruna Xavier
2024-03-30 20:44:36 +0000 UTCWell damn... Lol
CandyCane Benedict
2024-03-30 20:42:45 +0000 UTCI think the deviled ham will kill him, as the other woman's husband is still "sleeping peacefully" after having it for dinner
Amanda H.
2024-03-30 20:41:28 +0000 UTCOk I'm so sorry but can someone explain this to me like I'm five, I am not good at picking up subtleties 😩 is the case full of other dead husband meat???

UpstandingGoose
2024-03-30 19:09:46 +0000 UTCThe spread killed the other person's husband, the relationship of the main character seems very abusive, so they might use it as well
Ris
2024-03-30 19:09:01 +0000 UTCShe is being abused by her husband. Every day she has a new piece of clothing to hide where he has hurt her. Presumably the other woman had a similar situation, and now she…has no husband 😁
