Is it tacky to write a story with a moral in 2021? Folk stories with witches and devils were created by catholic clergy to keep acadian habitants in check but no episode of Twilight Zone ends without a little moral lesson, not about witches and angels but about human nature itself.
If I can pretend to be Rod Serling for a moment:
People like the cat in the black cat use their own suffering as an excuse to destroy others with a clear conscience but in the process they are also destroying themselves until one day…
The man that cat is based on died of a heart attack in the woods after decades of cocaine addiction.
i could go on and on, talking about all the alcoholics and addicts in my life, but what would be the point? There are many people like us in Acadie...many people like us in Canada and in the World.
Yes, there are still technical flaws but in ten years I have ever given so much time and so much effort into eight cartoons to make one, oh so precious point: we need better mental health for boys and men!
...and not just better therapists, psychiatrists and all that stuff, we need to show ccompassion, as human beings to other human beings. There's nothing I hate more than a feminists (if you can call that a feminist, more like an immature teenagers) who taunts or mocks a male victim of abuse. Newsflash, Dworkin; one person's trauma always ends up affecting the people around that person, no matter their gender!
With Mittaines at the hospital after a heart attack, Buzz and Sooky find the long lost bio of an ancestor who lived through a part of canadian history that is still controversial to this day.
A story about national and post-generational trauma and the duty to heal oneself.
