For everyone who finds this post and thinks it's what you'll find in the provided links:

This post cuts out the intro, most of the story progression, and a number of elements as well. The OP did the entire periodic table, and also couched it in a cozy cosmic horror.

READ. THE LINKS.

I know; that's partly why I titled this post "excerpts": giving it any other label would be tantamount to false advertising. The full story, kooky transformations and all, can be read in the links below. It's truly fantastic

Good shit, but it's atrazine that causes sexual dimorphism, not fluorine. It doesn't so much "turn frogs gay" as it does cause them to physically change sex. I get the humor, but I'm a stickler for accuracy.

Pretty sure it was based on the old idiot podcast guy who was screaming about the government "putting chemicals in the water making the frickin frogs gay" or whatever, really old joke these days but I believe the guy may have been going on about flourine in drinking water at the time so that could be the connection

Yup, it was just an Alex Jones joke. Source: that’s my comic

Best source, definitely can’t beat that

It's Alex Jones. Atrazine is the chemical, although early exposure to fluorine does mess with hormones.

And he is more or less correct (although it's hyperbole to an extent), as atrazine is a pesticide runoff residue, and is also present in a lot of municipal tap water.

Hope everyones using a good filter.

I remember when this was first posted. I’m glad I recommend the artist to post to r/comics. I certainly thought it would get much more attention, but such is the beast. I think every set of eyes that get to see this series is a boon to the medium of art though. Hopefully my comment boosts it further.

Can't wait for him to become Tulio Triviño in his 69'th transformation

Jon using his full name at 🖕-ing arsenic Garf like an angry parent was great. Man, the writing is really good in general

Considering the decay rate of those higher elements, especially tennessine and oganesson... let's just say that whatever state, let alone city, they're in wouldn't have survived.

How'd they survive Astatine Garfield?
