"I won...! On a platform of beastiality!?"

Context: The characters have an election to be the King/Queen and made it democratic. The world they are in is basically like Narnia, talking animals just as intelligent as people are around. In fact, animals outnumber humans, and this is when they realise the animals have voting rights and the human vote doesn't mean shit. Margo mentioned offhandedly that she approved of the relationship a different character had with a literal bear because they were both adults with intelligence that could consent, so what was the harm? This lead to word of mouth causing animals to vote for her when she wasn't really campaigning for herself.

It's like Harry Potter but about adults and as if it were written by Grant Morrison. It's so good.

A great comic book writer. They wrote All-Star Superman and did some great work on Doom Patrol.
