The Story of the Zoops

An animation created from the work of illustrator and comic artist Heather Cushman-Dowdee.

Imagine a land where suddenly the way that generations have always fed their babies is suddenly thought of as weird and offensive. Though this could be right here in our country, the place I'm talking about is the land of the Zoops.

i dont know anyone who can watch this without laughing about how ridiculous this video is.

[filmindie]

I wouldn't say you or your friends are the target market for the video. Most 24 year old guys aren't interested, let alone understand a breastfeeding parable. The question is why are you even seeking this video out? To be snarky I suspect.

[filmindie]

wow did you all just get out of class or something? All these new, completely negative comments make me think that all you folks came from the same place. That's okay 13,000 views can't be wrong. Thanks for helping get the message out.

[jmdenn]

you have no idea who has been watching and laughing at you (not your comics, but you)

lulz

[filmindie]

Really? You don't even know me. I'm not Hathor if that what you are thinking. Check out my other post while you're at it I could use the hits.

i am patriarchy what is this

[FouCapitan]

This is the stupidest thing I've ever seen. Taking this metaphor of breastfeeding vs. bottlefeeding and turning it into this Suessian nightmare, while at the same time talking to your audience like they're a bunch of simpletons really doesn't garner any sort of support.

I mean seriously? Left-hand salad nazis? Whatever narcotics Hathor was on, I'll stay very clear of.

[LuthianLightbriger]

Your art, metaphors, and story telling ability are all equally atrocious, but as terrible as they are, nothing you have done compares to the irreparable damage your poor parenting, insistence upon breastfeeding past a reasonable age, and "unschooling" have done to your children.

All of Hathor's ignorance summed up in one video.

Love it! What a gorgeous way of representing the damage formula companies have done to our natural instinct to breastfeed and nurture our babies!

[marudoethiopia]

I want to go to one of these milk-orgies described in the video.

The moral of the story is that if you don't feed your babies left hand salad you will become enslaved by pink rectangle aliens.

[NefariousBshenkd]

I think there's a metaphor here, but I'm not sure what it is.

[miyalana]

So wait, they cant reproduce by themselves, have nothing much to do unless they start a family (That sounds kind of depressing), the only thing to eat is sugary salad growing out of the dirty left hand's of zoop mothers, and this appears to have caused them to become all horribly overweight. No wonder a smarter race enslaved them!

[BabyEmersonGary]

I thought this was wonderful. All the haters, you make as much sense as the haters in this film. Why get angry if someone chooses to nurse their child? I just don't get it, that energy could be used in such a beneficial manner elsewhere.
