I'm Horrified!

This is the worst thing we've ever done, and frankly, we're so sorry. This week Sam unleashes hell on earth by bringing you the strangest and most tonally dissonant fanfiction comic ever spawned by the internet (well... I guess we can't say that for certain, but it's up there). Why would someone make this? Why would we take an hour of our precious lives to read it? We're just as confused as you are, Horror Honeys.

CW: While it is beyond absurd that someone made a Zootopia fanfiction comic which centers around the topic of abortion, they did, and that is genuinely what we will be discussing today. We're poking fun at the fact that this exists, not the subject itself, however if this is a sensitive topic for you please refrain from listening and we'll see you next week!

Today we've got even more woebegotten tales from the sea! For a while in the mid 19th century, a bunch of Europeans were reeeeeally excited about the idea of finding a "northwest passage" over and around Canada in order to facilitate trade with Asia. Many expeditions were sent to this end, but none ended in such a dumpster fire as Franklin's Expedition. Package your canned goods carefully, Horror Honeys!

An often overlooked piece of history foliowing the Second World War, Bikini Atoll had a small yet thriving community which was upended by America's desire to use the Atoll as a nuclear testing site. As you can imagine, the U.S. Military was less than forthcoming about all the details involved in their "relocation"! It's a story we've been told time and again: a powerful nation acts recklessly while those less powerful pay the price, sometimes for generations to come.

Look, we've all had a rough couple of months here and there, but sometimes it helps to revel in the misfortunes of the rich and powerful! 1992 was not a great time for our girl Lizzy W, and we're going to hit all of the details (spoiler alert: it mostly has to do with all of her terrible children). Frankly, no matter what happened, we're always going to end up taking Princess Diana's side. Keep calm and carry on, Horror Honeys!
