Kain na! means 'Let's eat!'

Today, we are doing something a bit different. We have a truly massive backlog of anti-cephalopod propaganda to address, but we also want to encourage righteous portrayals whenever we find them.

So we point you to the webcomic collective known as The Chemistry Set, and specifically, a member thereof, Kare-Kare Kom!cs.

This strip is created by an artist and writer from the Phillipines,

andrewdrilon, using many different art styles, all equally effectively, with very honest, well-written stories, ranging from the serene to the macabre, all with a fine sense of wonder to them.

This one, in particular:

A wonderful, touching story of survival, family and friendship, this is a modern day retelling of The Incredible Journey, but also including a giant squid as one of the intrepid wanderers.

While another of the stories does feature an arguement involving some name calling, in which squid and cephalopods are invoked, we can only conclude that the overall moral of the story goes to show that this sort of behavior is bad. And the whole thing is very Seussian to begin with.

So for the overall positive portrayal of cephalopods, we happily bestow upon Kare-Kare Kom!cs the first of hopefully many Orders of Knight Defender of the Hydrostat, in honor of his good work, and wish him all the best of luck in the future.

We here at CADUCEUS strongly urge you to go read the story, and all the author's work. And while you're there, check out some more of what The Chemistry Set has to offer. And leave a nice comment, or two.
