Descender #15

 Descender, Issue #15  begins 10 years before the current timeline, when Andy, who has just lost his mother to giant, attacking robots, meets Effie, his future wife. They live in an orphanage on Niyrata for three years before they escape to join a scrapping crew. Scrappers are people who kill robots. Effie grows to hate the practice, and after an accident leaves her with an artificial, robot arm and hand, she decides to become trans-robotic. Andy rejects her because he hates robots, but starting about five or six issues ago, they started working together.

I often wonder how much comedy writers intend in their work. Who hasn't laughed their way through writing a serious piece? The connection to the trans community, the bathroom bills, and the rest is too obvious to even discuss thoroughly. Of course, with people dying and being trampled upon, it's hard to laugh too hard.
