plight of the honeybee
id: a black and white comic of gerard of greenleigh. text reads: “Then there’s “plight of the honeybee,”” as gerard stands, his fallen comrades cast in shadow behind him, facing the fairy godmother flying overhead. “plight, not flight,” as gerard falters, then moves ahead. “It’s like a stinger, you go out but you die at the end of it,” as gerard, white against a black background, reaches towards the glass shard in the screaming fairy godmother’s chest. “sort of a sacrificial move.” gerard is cast in shadow as he pulls the shard into his own chest, the fairy godmother exploding beside him and the background stark white. “The reason it is “plight of the bumblebee” is because it is their plight to die.”
