Description
In a world drastically altered by a mysterious plague that has wiped out all male mammals, Yorick Brown finds himself thrust into a survival scenario that is both harrowing and absurd. With only his devoted pet monkey, Ampersand, by his side, Yorick becomes the last remaining man and must navigate this new landscape filled with challenges and unexpected allies.
As he embarks on a quest to uncover the truth behind the catastrophe and search for a female scientist who may hold the key to restoring humanity, Yorick experiences both moments of heart-wrenching loss and bouts of dark humor. He encounters strong, resourceful women who are coming to terms with their new reality, each with their own motivations and struggles. Amidst the chaos, themes of gender, identity, and survival begin to unravel, prompting a reevaluation of what it means to be human in a world devoid of half of its species.
Through stunning artwork and rich storytelling, the narrative unfolds into an exploration of societal roles, personal relationships, and the resilience of the human spirit. Yorick's journey is not just about survival; it becomes a quest for understanding and meaning in a world turned upside down. As he faces both the absurdity and tragedy of his situation, readers are drawn into a thought-provoking adventure that challenges conventional perspectives on masculinity and femininity.
