When Is a Chicken Considered Dead

This was my first and so far only pro-life comic. Mostly it was the last because I broke the bank trying to convince Anne to say that last line. Or, indeed, the first line. . . it doesn't cast her in the most flattering light, does it?

Just joking. Anne isn't real and she doesn't get paid to do this. If anything, she's about to owe someone a lot of money. (Ava. Actually, she already owes Ava huge. Ava just refuses to acknowledge this.)

I'm guessing the cartoon on its own doesn't seem to make much sense. The point is that saying a baby's not alive until a certain arbitrary point in time such as birth makes no sense either. . . in the case of birth because if you hold the baby, its displacement is literally only a few inches. So moving a few inches forward and up makes the difference between living and nonliving. Got it.
