The Menu That
Shouldn't Exist

Flocc returns to Emoji Soup for a menu that predates the restaurant, survives municipal paperwork, teaches mushrooms to do philosophy, and eventually presents the check before dinner.

Need is infinite. So is the menu.

A speculative comic novel about nourishment, labor, forms that become residents, practical mushroom logic, and the difference between being charged and being condemned.

Fiction boundary: this is an original work of speculative comic fiction. Its characters, restaurants, institutions, menus, receipts, and events are imagined.
