Special Thanks to this thread's Editors @Loona & @The Rabbit Holes for proofreading & correcting the novel that is this OP.
Part 1 of 2
The furry fandom is a very visual one, so much so that a majority of those that benefit from it are in the business of physical and digital art. Often unsung are the writers, those who either stick to a purely literarily format or who actually weave a story together with text and picture. In today's Western society, single subject images or small comics are much more popular than their much more focus-intensive long-form counterparts, as the attention span of children and adults alike have diminished to just a few seconds per subject.In this thread, we are going to share in depth the stories spun out in furry fashion, be they a diamond in the rough or absolute literary garbage. With that said, this thread's posting etiquette should focus on Fair Use - "the use of the subject for criticism, comment, news reporting, teaching, scholarship, and research" just to name a few examples. This is in place to make sure that the thread is not mucked-up with low-effort "lol look at this fetish" posts. Below are three examples (two here, one linked) of how to post about a subject in an analytical and Fair Use fashion.

The Pervert
The Pervert is a comic (and the name of the first chapter) that follows the life of a young adult Matt Perez (named "Felina" in the comic) as an anthropomorphized dog akin to Peanuts' Snoopy, working as a sex worker in Seattle. The first few panels show Perez's character engaging in anal sex with a client, lamenting in his thoughts how gay men in transitionary bisexuality are lying to themselves:This chapter focuses around the norm of his experience as a pre-op transsexual prostitute, where most of his normal clients are men who claim to be straight and how they are full of themselves. Perez thinks with a sense of disgust that he swallowed his client's cum in the ball pit of a fast-food restaurant, and how he is getting used to this life. What caught my attention the second time around reading this is that in this chapter, the client mentions he can see the outline of his male genitals in his shorts, and that he is okay with that. At no point did I think that Perez's portrayal ever looked like a female - instead I was under the impression he looked like a metrosexual young man. And to drive a point home, he goes into the women's bathroom to wipe the makeup off his face before leaving the site.
Couples
Now to add context, Perez appears to be portrayed in his mid-twenties in this loosely autobiographical comic. Given that context, this would be anywhere between 2012-2014 that these stories take place. At first I was under the impression that this was a historical fiction story because Perez is using a cellphone/smartphone while in his younger years. I though this because I did not know he was born in 1988, though looks to be in his late forties from a video made in 2013:
I am adding this in here and now to show just how well he might have "passed" during that time.
I am adding this in here and now to show just how well he might have "passed" during that time.
Perez hates when women do this to him. The final page of the chapter is his thoughts on cooking a dish made by a loved one - it can be replicated but truly never tastes the same. Also, he would have only charged $70 should his night went as planned.
Lunch
Out of all the chapters to hit me like a train in the sense I still cannot make sense of it. It starts off innocently enough with Perez eating at a diner with another MtF troon. He observes her eating chicken noodle soup that his companion says has a texture of egg drop soup. Perez's reply is "Fuckin' gross. Is some dude's cum all up in that shit?" which to me, and assuming to you - is not a very feminine thing to say, but such is to be expected with men. It sounds more like two guys talking shit to each other, and that isn't even the end of it. I will post the two out-of-left-field pages below, then discuss:In short, Perez's rat-like companion asks him how far along he is, he holds out his dog-like paw (without thumbs, despite having thumbs everywhere else) to show how soft his skin(?) is. He then comments that his dick is trying to be like his skin, soft and trying to turn into a "pussy". Yes, that's right, the AGP's favorite word for female genitalia, one which real women never use to refer to their vagina. The rat then offers a "quick fix to that" and pulls out a knife from his purse, to which Perez reacts by agreeing and wanting to stick his penis in a nearby Reuben sandwich. Rat then asks about the burger Perez ordered, then recalls a burger he had once in France, and that a classmate was afraid Rat would turn him gay if he didn't sleep on the floor away from him. Perez, in alphamale fashion, tells Rat "I don't give a fuck about your faggy David Sedaris story" and instead wants to know about the burger. The chapter ends with a weird start to what I can only imagine is foreplay for these people, where Rat mentions "Let's cut our dicks in half with this knife." See below:
Honestly, if you watched the video of Perez I included in the "Couples" chapter, it's easy to imagine these disgusting words coming out of his mouth - everything about him is the polar opposite of womanly, and it shows in this comic.
Sex Positive
This chapter is the beginning of a rather odd sub-story in the clusterfuck that is the main story. The first page is Perez on his way to a client's apartment. He thinks about how Seattle is "ok" for his line of work, and that "sex positivity" isn't real, but more like a 'fuck you' to the law. At the door we are introduced to Tom, an old gray bulldog. Tom is a regular of Perez's, and Perez comes onto Tom, most likely because that is how Tom would have wanted an interaction to go, but this time he refuses. Perez goes to sit on a recliner on one end of the room, only to remember that seat is off-limits. Tom dismisses his error and says he can sit, saying he "misses her" who we are first led to believe is Tom's late wife. Tom calls Perez over to sit on his lap. Perez obliges, and Tom says he just wants to talk to Perez this time and startles him with a hug. Tom then wants to know why Perez whores himself out, Perez refuses to tell why. Tom insists Perez tell him why he is a prostitute, and Perez agrees only if Tom tells him why he hires him in the first place. Tom explains that it is due to the loss of his "wife" - Perez tells Tom that Seattle isn't a bad place for "old gays" like him. Tom resents this label, and makes sure Perez knows it. Tom refuses to tell Perez any more about his wife, so Perez asks why Tom hires him, a gay man. Tom gives Perez a drink and tells him to swear not to tell anyone this - that his wife was a transsexual. The following page ensues:"So you guys remind me of her" is Tom's answer. For someone who resents the label of homosexuality, living with a pre-op MtF still falls in that definition. Perhaps this is another example of an individual who is stuck in transitionary bisexuality, using someone else's delusions to assure his own - his troon husband who believed he was a woman and Tom who believes that made him straight. Bruce/Katlyn Jenner gets an honorable mention as a troon role-model, further cementing the time period of early to mid 2010s. Tom then refers to his late "wife" as a "him", Perez corrects him only for Tom to reply "I always knew my wife was a girl, even though she had a little extra. Shit, I don't know." This is quite telling of Tom, more so to his confusion and possible coming around to the fact he was really in a homosexual relationship. Having fulfilled his end of the deal, Tom asks Perez why he is a hooker. Perez states that he is putting himself though college and cannot get work placement, though the "Yeah. Yes" at the end of his statement makes it sound like a lie.
Tom leans into Perez, telling him he can feel (what I can only assume is) a binder under his shirt. Perez tries to deny this, but Tom assures him his boywife, "Edna", did the same thing with bandages. Perez defends his decision by saying he does not want to do any of this work as a girl, and no amount of money could make him do it. This sticks out to me - Perez seem to believe that once he transitions, he will be a different person, so he sacrifices whoring himself out for money as a boy so when he is a girl, her image and slate will be pure and clean. This, of course as we all know, is never how it works. Tom asks for a kiss, and Perez obliges. The chapter ends.
Trouble in Paradise
This chapter starts off incredibly based:What appears to be a homeless man or street thug asks Perez for a bagel in which he is eating. Perez refuses, calling the beggar "my guy." Somehow this tips the beggar off to Perez's orientation, and calls him a faggot. Perez then offers him his food, which the man refuses on account of not wanting to get AIDS. This makes Perez unreasonably angry and threatens the man in a very bizarre fashion, saying he would "fuck [him]", "jam a size 11 shoe up [his] ass" and "smash [his] head off the fucking fire hydrant and cum all over the brains".

In the next page we see Perez has vacation plans with "Annie" via a text and he responds, saying he plans to ask for time off work - turns out he does have a job and it is at a call center. He thinks to himself he has not had an outburst like the one above for a long time. When in the center, he is told there are no shifts for that day. Perez asks about a Romney campaign opportunity, and tells the shift manager that if he does not get this, his girlfriend would kill him. The shift manager relents and gives him the job - he smiles at his desk.
The next scene is of him and who we assume to be Annie, a gray cat. Both are in bed, and without warning Perez begins to masturbate. Annie asks him what the fuck he is doing - to which Perez replies he has done this in front of her many times and is just calming his nerves. Annie asks him why he cannot be satisfied, after all they are on vacation in Portland. This angers Perez, as he does not want to go into the communal restroom to self-pleasure. Annie retorts that she just wants "one day without it constantly being without sex." It appears Perez has outed himself in this story as a sex-addict in his retelling. Perez defends his actions by saying he just wanted to get off, blames Annie for not being intimate with him for more than a month, and asks why she is always on his back. Here's where it gets good - Annie paid for dinner while Perez bought books. Annie states she is tired of being the one who always has to make the mature decisions. Perez tells Annie they will need to talk about their relationship after the vacation, then fucks off to the bathroom and thinks to himself about his gag reflex.
This chapter is amazing in the fact that it paints Perez as a very unlikable character. If you've read up on Perez's thread here, you'd know he is always a victim and can do no wrong in his own eyes - even in telling this story his own way he makes himself out to be a large asshole.
Cut Throat
This is another excellent chapter that showcases how MtFs can never be rid of their toxic male rage, no matter how feminine they pretend to be. Also this chapter is full of troon sexual degeneracy, which was bound to happen since this is, of course a troon story.To best summarize this, it starts with Dimitri (a red cat) and his brown-furred feline partner coming across Perez and his brown-furred canine friend. the feline asks Perez if he and the other canine are friends, which he responds in the positive. The group of four sit on a park bench. Without explanation, the brown-furred feline starts to preform oral sex on Perez in public. The canine who was seen entering with Perez leaves, causing this scene:
Honestly, I cannot make sense of this panel - Dimitri getting sad, then Perez saying he still likes him? What the fuck happened?
Moving on, the three go back to a house where they snort cocaine and have group sex. Perez wakes after the hedonistic night and looks worse for wear, needing a shave. Walking home, Perez can hear others talking about him. He tries to ignore this until a mechanic calls him a "Fucking gross tranny" which leads to Perez beating the ever-living-shit out of him. The mechanic relents, Perez leaves and returns to his place of residence where he washes the blood off of himself in the shower.
Truly a powerful portrayal of how hormones can be administered, but the male urge of violence still persists. The reason this scene is justified is because a lot of "queer" people want to be violent, but know if they did so in reality, they'd be fighting a losing battle. Instead, they consoom media like this showing the underdog poor trans womyn beating a bigot, something they will never see or do in their lifetimes.
Get Some
This chapter starts off going from 0 to 100, with Perez in a bed suddenly performing oral sex on a man. What makes this scene interesting is that his enlarged breasts are out. So much for "not doing this work as a girl" I guess. Perez thinks that if this John gets violent he could use a nearby lamp as a weapon. Perez is then flipped on his back and now receiving anal sex, to which he encourages the John to keep on going. They both climax, with John having ejaculated inside of Perez. Perez then thinks to himself he now needs to go to the clinic.At the clinic, he is told he is clean and HIV negative. The doctor recommends he practice safe sex - Perez responds "Yhea, that's not gonna fucking happen." Very nice, exactly what a healthcare professional wants to hear. While leaving the clinic this interaction comes about:
Having told a disappointed-looking man to suck his cock, he is rightfully asked to leave. Perez then goes out in pity for himself, saying he does not value his life, he puts all his love into others, that love motivates his every action, no matter how negative it is to his life - absolute lies as we have seen throughout the comic thus far and will continue to see.
The next scene in the chapter takes place a few months earlier, where he is referred to as a fag by a co-worker in a factory. Going in to assist his co-worker, something slips and Justin, his co-worker, blames Perez for it. Perez quietly resonates how his wrench is durable, and that he has love in his heart but wants to cave Justin's head in. Perez then says he has to see James, the foreman portrayed as Clifford, The Big Red Dog. Perez goes to James who praises Perez for his rising performance, but Perez deflects by telling James that he (Perez) isn't a good man but does not deserve this [job]. Perez tells James about how the other workers insult and threaten him. James passes this off as a part of work culture, Perez tries to get himself fired by asking James if he is a conservative - to which he responds that he is a moderate. Perez then tells James that he is a girl, which catches James off guard. James mistakes Perez for a FtM - which Perez corrects him for:
James, God bless him, tries to make light of the conversation by asking Perez if he has a vagina. Perez jokes about it and the price with James, with James asking Perez if he wants to be called by a different name. Perez admits he doesn't see a future at the workplace. James offers Perez a raise until he finds work elsewhere, which Perez accepts. A month or so later, Perez is let go due to a co-worker dumping a costly amount of soap, and needing to make up the loss. Perez laments that they should have fired the meth-user who let two chemicals mix to create a poison. Out of all the characters I feel bad for in this comic, it's James. A man with a heart of gold being forced to supervise a narcissistic troon - who knew a minor character would be the most likable?
In Dreams
This chapter is a fever dream, in which it doesn't happen, but is telling of Perez's psyche. Perez, in his dream looks much more like a woman, clothing included. He vocally states he does not like it - only for the surroundings to swallow him whole. He lands in a dreamscape, where he wanders until Tom finds him and helps him to a house. In the house, Edna's recliner is visible, with the lamp from "Get Some" next to it. Perez takes the lamp and strikes Tom:Tom is shown lying on the ground, bleeding from a head wound. Perez goes outside to find Tom standing there, looking saddened. Perez breaks down crying, apologizing - only to wake up having had a nocturnal emission.
Sleep Walk
This chapter is told from the perspective of Tom in his younger years, having just moved from the Midwest to Seattle, telling a stranger how much he hated where he lived. After having purchased marijuana from this stranger, he gets in a cab where he sees a feline woman attempting to hail a cab - he suggests to the driver that she might want to rideshare. The woman timidly enters the taxi. Tom asks her where she is headed, she responds by telling him it is a punk concert, then describes it as a bunch of "shitty drunks yelling and playing guitar bad." Tom is interested in seeing this, so he goes with the woman to said punk concert. While there, Tom is struck in the head by a guitar thrown into the crowd by a band member. Tom tells Edna, the feline woman that going to the concert was a good idea, then loses vision, then consciousness - only to awake in the hospital.Awaking in the hospital, we see Tom in the same room as a male nurse who looks suspiciously similar to Edna. Tom asks the nurse if he knew the woman who dropped him off, the nurse responds in the negative, disappointing Tom. Upon being discharged, the nurse tells Tom if he sees her, he will call him. Later, Tom gets a call at his residence from Edward, the nurse, who claims he found her (Edna). Tom gives Edward the address, and shortly thereafter there is a knock at Tom's door - only for it to be Edward, who claims the woman flaked and wanted nothing to do with Tom. Tom is disappointed again, but invites Edward in nonetheless for drinks. Tom goes on about how he felt it was true love with the woman he met (despite not even knowing her for a few hours) and would want to see her again, but would give her space if that is what she wanted.
Edward then asks to use the restroom, where he goes and gets out a wig and makeup from his backpack. He dons his female façade and calls to Tom:
Tom, asks what she did to him. Edward/Edna tells him he is dumb as hell, as Tom starts to put the pieces together, albeit poorly. Tom asks if it's a prank - no. Tom asks if he can fly - no. Edward tells Tom he is transsexual. Tom and Edward talk about Edward's situation - Tom is very open to it and tells Ed that he will always be safe with him. Ed spends the night with Tom, they kiss and the chapter ends.
Honestly, they made Tom's character so stupid I do not believe that if Tom actually existed, this would be his story - or anywhere near it. Perez's history of attention-seeking knows no bounds, therefore I do not trust this chapter one bit as far as accuracy to actual events.
Up All Night
This chapter starts with the assumption that time has passed, as Perez has a ponytail which has grown out. We see Perez pacing in his room, calling someone in his contacts called "Weed Trap". A feminine scene looking cat answers - Perez wants to talk about his life - and the cat tells Perez this is a transaction and to have started with "I'm not a cop". Perez complies and tells the cat that cops can have sex with then arrest - the cat tells Perez America sounds awesome. I have reason to believe this character is Boydell's fursonification - being a cat and located outside the United States of America. The interaction between them is stiff at best, awkward at worst:The cat sends Perez a lewd photo after they hang up. The scene changes to Tom in present day looking out a window, who we assume is a troon-prostitute Ed lookalike in bed & Weed Trap Cat on a webcam. The scenes continue to shift, now to Perez prostituting himself, then to not-Ed sitting on Tom's face, to Tom thinking of a feminine Perez, then Ed with Perez, then a different scene with Weed Trap masturbating with a dildo inside him. Scenes continue to mix back to Perez receiving anal sex, then Not-Ed performing oral sex on Tom, to Perez's face in climax, to Tom's face, heartbroken, then to Weed Trap ejaculating on himself. The scene mixing slows down with Weed Trap getting paid online, Perez getting paid, Tom paying Not-Ed, then Perez getting a call from Tom. Perez declines Tom's call, which saddens Ed. Perez then calls Weed Trap - telling him that he never wanted to get into this work - it was just a fantasy. Perez feels dissatisfied with his life, as he believed there would be a payoff, but instead all he gets is money to pay for his hormones. Perez continues, being afraid for his safety and feeling sorrow and hate for his clients. Weed Trap tries to reassure Perez everything will be okay, and to hold on. A panel of Tom kneeling before the recliner is shown. The chapter ends.
The amount of sex shown and the pleasure shown on Perez's face leads me to believe that this isn't as bad for him as he makes it out to be. Not only that, but it appears that he’s started to emotionally sap Weed Trap.
Blackout
This chapter starts with Rat from the "Lunch" chapter at Perez's place - they are both shown preforming oral sex on each other's male genitals. Rat notices Perez was in a magazine called "Basement Sluts". Perez apologizes to Rat that he could not have anal sex with him as he is too "charismatic". Perez then comments on Rat's Prince Albert penile piecing, and Rat agrees that it was best he did not have anal sex with him. Rat then tells Perez two of his exes "blacked out" when he attempted anal sex with them - the first falling over, the second losing consciousness and hitting his head:Sex is talked about so casually and insensitively here, making all involved including Perez look and sound like absolute coomers. Perez and Rat are then shown at a table, clothed taking about the two above incidents. Perez then wants to try anal sex despite the risk of the Prince Albert on Rat. The final page of the chapter shows the two prepping for anal sex.
Migraine
Perez awakes feeling as if his head is on fire - he attributes this to him pulling in more money. He goes down to the food pantry run by a local church. At the church, he observes "The Mexican moms and Filipino Grandmas have no arguments today." "Lie about how many people are in your household." - things thought about by someone with a lot of love in their heart who gives only to others. It gets better:It's hard to feel any sympathy for Perez at this point, because he is a parasite. How he barely knew Weed Trap and unloaded his problems onto her, how he made Tom his regular, an emotionally vulnerable old man in mourning, not practicing safe sex and the common visits to clinics - Perez is a drain to everything he touches. The next few panels is him with the cart, putting his food in the fridge, then going atop a hill to ride down it via shopping cart, only to crash and bloody his nose. He then thinks about the food pantry again, then about his clients, how again he convinces himself "I don't do this as a girl. I'll give you everything. I'll give you her. I gotta survive."
Clearly this last bit is conflicting with his previous promise not to prostitute as a girl, which is pointless because he will never actually be a woman.
Bloody Cape
This chapter starts off silent, depicting a human hunter stalking and shooting a deer.The second page shows Perez with Rat - both are in a restaurant with Perez hinting on a literary project - notes about how he does not want to go back to Michigan. Rat asks what happens in Michigan, Perez tells him anything he could say would not do it justice. Rat asks if they still hunt there, Perez confirms this, and that his dad is a hunter. Perez talks about how he's eaten more deer than sushi in his life - this freaks Rat out which causes her to leave. In this universe I would wager that hunting is seen as a cruel, discriminatory practice since all main and secondary characters in this story are part-animal. Perez is shown in bed with Tom, where they have this exchange:
Even with a John, Perez is still absolutely pathetic and looks for attention and pity wherever he is.
Tom holds Perez and asks if his father would approve of it. Perez sarcastically tells Tom that he would get a medal or personal pan pizza for "drinking old man cum". Tom tries to suggest he isn't that old, and might be the age of Perez's dad. Perez brushes Tom off, telling him that his father is younger than him. Perez goes to leave, Tom asks him about "that story" but Perez doesn't answer. Perez goes through Tom's fridge, then flash forwards to him at home, looking at a contact for his father on his phone, then calls Tom. Perez skates to Tom's house, and lies down at the doorstep, not knocking. Tom finds him, takes him in and takes care of Perez, tending to him. When asked if he's eaten anything, Perez tells him no, it has gone awry. Perez spirals:
Perez went to Tom because "You don't know enough to hurt me." In true parasitical and narcissistic fashion, when Tom offers to take Perez in, Perez leads him on, saying Tom doesn't even know his name. Tom introduces himself as Tom Redding who works with the mayor's office, and that "I have sex with feminine men and shemales." This somewhat amuses Perez, who tells Tom nobody says that anymore. Tom defends his words in jest, to where Perez says "They sell it as a brand. Nobody calls themselves Angel or Bambi at home. Maybe they do, I don't know."
Perez is so close with this quote - of course troonism is sold as a brand, for the first time in history a marginalized group of people have a price tag on their head, and are encouraged to submit to the services of Big Pharma to go into debt - hook, line and sinker. Additionally, we know AGP fetishists like Perez often choose obnoxious feminine stripper names - for example we have a forum on one Jessica (Jonathan Yaniv) Simpson who 100% could have chosen a less obnoxious name. But no, he had to choose the name of a female celebrity.
Perez tells Tom it is "an experience, being sold" to which is followed up by Perez telling Tom he could have met someone after Edna. Tom does not take kindly to this and tells Perez he is saying it because he is sick, then asks if he needs to get an HIV test. Perez calls Tom an asshole, then apologizes. The conversation then moves to Tom asking about the story from before, the one from Michigan, asking why anyone would want to read such a sad story - THIS STORY. Perez defends his work by saying that it's where he's from, and where he's going back to unless he wants to be homeless. Tom again tries to convince Perez to stay with him, that they could be happy and he would let Perez fuck other people, that he does not need to be alone or be a prostitute forever.
Tom then gets to ask his question about the story - if Perez ever shot a deer. Perez admits to gutting them after his father shot them, but never shot one himself. Tom again tries to tell Perez he can stay. The chapter ends.
It should be obvious to Perez at this point that Tom is head over heels for him, that dramatically showing up lying at his doorstep and dumping his problems on him would cause Tom distress, but it happened regardless.
Death Rattle
Perez is packing up his possessions, reflecting on the times he has sold his body. He thinks to himself, "There were interesting moments. None of them felt like they were mine. I was present. Composure was maintained." One panel shows him kissing a John, and Perez thinking about kissing Weed Trap. Perez then shifts his reflection onto the first time when he cried at work as a survey agent when he had a conversation with a woman who lost her kids to a car fire, then asking her to rate her experience with the auto insurance company. The scenes shift to Perez walking though a store, first asking for cigarettes, then nicotine gum."There's nothing worse than lacking the self awareness to know you've lost."
These words are too little too late, coming from someone who sold their body, poisoned lives and was a parasite to the community around him.
Best Coast
Two weeks later, Perez is seen walking though an airport terminal X-ray. The x-ray shows his enlarged breasts and male genitalia. "I love making C-students uncomfortable with their careers."What does it say about someone who loves making others uncomfortable? The picture of Perez painting himself as someone with a lot of love in his heart died as soon as this story was told - he comes off as so unlikable it's a miracle that nobody pulled the plug on this comic. I suppose troons get plot armor and a free pass to do and say whatever they please.
Perez gets a call from Tom, begging Perez not to leave, that he can take care of him, he doesn't need to be alone. Perez finally tells him his name, "Felina Love." Tom asks who that it, Perez responds with "It's me, you dumb bastard." Only over the phone is Perez honest with Tom, when he is no longer needed:
"But when we fucked, I fucked for money, okay?"
Was it that hard to say, and could it have been said sooner? This comes off as cold on Perez's part. I understand Tom's character is one who cannot let go of an infatuation that he felt with someone like his late boywife, but at the same time Perez waiting this long to say this makes it feel as if he baited Tom along for the safety and care, which is obviously immoral.
Perez boards a plane and arrives in Detroit. His father hugs him, with Perez thinking about how "a life ended somewhere back there. Whatever follows is faint imitation."
The belief that a life, an identity can end when somewhere is left, when habits are changed does not erase what occurred, nor does it make those involved forget. A life never ended back there, instead Perez washes his hands of his past life without wanting to confront it, truly learn from it. This is obviously a terrible habit and does not allow for personal growth.
The only upside to this is the final page, where Perez realizes Michigan isn't as bad as he imagined it, in fact he feels at home.
Closing Thoughts
My closing thoughts on this comic are very much a "I read it so you don't have to”. The comic tries to be beautiful in its art, not in its story. This story, much like the others shared about individuals who have their own threads, are ones that we Kiwis could never have imagined if they didn't actually happen. These stories are trainwrecks that can only ever be written by individuals whose poor judgement and/or life decisions allow the world around them to write a horrible fate for them, and this story is nothing special. In fact, this story told by Perez goes so out in pity for himself, but does not come off as likable to anyone who understands basic social conventions. Perez is a person who one would not want to root for - as he chose a life of prostitution, one where he probably scarred a few relationships, gave false hope to people like Tom and could have went home at any time. He chose to stay, eat from the pantries that supported actual families, have a relationship with a woman WHILE also working as a hooker and refusing to acknowledge that it was not for the money - if was for the pure hedonistic pleasure we see him get in many of the panels where he is engaged in sexual acts. Slapping likable anthro characters from lovable IPs does not make this any more easier on the eyes or heart - in the end it is a self-righteous troon telling another troon their sob story and that troon working with what shit writing they had.There's an unofficial epilogue to this story, but if it's anything like the one we just reviewed - it will just end up being self-serving garbage.
In fact - it is! It's just Perez as a movie star with Princess Carolyn (from Bojack Horseman) as her agent who sucks off a suit only to be pulled out and reviewed by Isabelle (Animal Crossing) and for some reason includes what appears to be fucking Raine Dog (Dana Simpson). In the middle of the interview, Perez appears to die, then instead be tripping on DMT, then it's all just a part of a film shot. It's an edgy coomer fantasy and nothing more.
My Final Rating:
And because there is truly no rest for the wicked, let's take a look at the reviews:
Multiversity Comics
The Comics Journal
AIPT
CBR (Interview)
Summary: Choking on that girldick.
