Is that a yeast factory?
I'm sorry, I've not seen the film and though I read the wikipedia article I don't get the reference. I used a quonset hut mostly because they're a common, cheap metal building that used to be really common around here. As housing or workshop space they're apparently really unpleasant, but you still see them a lot. Many of the comics and all the still panels are at least partially me trying to catch a specific kind of place/time of day/type of weather, from my hometowns, and filter it through the lens of cyberpunk, so this is mostly that.
It's a joke referencing the movie which had weaponized deer. It was a bad movie but still good in a Napoleon Dynamite kind of way.
The yeast lords and yeast factories in Gentlemen Broncos is a reference to Asimov, Niven, and others who wrote about yeast as a primary food source in their various novels.
Ah, thanks! I knew I was missing something
That's clearly not a doe.
Charming idea, it really is a mood.
I'm sure people have already recommended the 3-issue comic We3 to you, but it also deals with weaponized animals.
btw the "next" links on pages 11 and 12 aren't active.
Thank you! And thanks for the reminder to update the links, I'll fix those shortly.
I actually haven't heard of We3 but I'll check it out, thanks for the recommendation!
Cyberpunk
What is Cyberpunk?
Cyberpunk is a science-fiction sub-genre dealing with the integration of society and technology in dystopian settings. Often referred to as “low-life and high tech,” Cyberpunk stories deal with outsiders (punks) who fight against the oppressors in society (usually mega corporations that control everything) via technological means (cyber). If the punks aren’t actively fighting against a megacorp, they’re still dealing with living in a world completely dependent on high technology.
Cyberpunk characteristics include:
- Dystopian city setting where mega-corporations rule
- Full integration of technology into society, featuring cybernetic implants
- Outsider protagonists (punks) who often are very familiar with the technology around them
- Hard boiled detective and film noir vibes and influence
- Themes dabbling in trans-humanism, existentialism, and what it means to be human.
