The Breather Job

It’s another cyberpunk strip from the neon-soaked underground city. This strip came out of wondering how they’d keep their air clean in an enclosed space like that. Figured that with a little modification, maybe humans could do the same job as plants. Only snag being that when the human body has a build up of carbon dioxide, you begin to get that horrible suffocating feeling. Sure, perhaps they could have engineered that away too, but these are criminals in a hard boiled, cutthroat city. No one gives enough of a shit for that. Might seem unnecessarily brutal, but honestly I can see rich, gentrified folks advocating these kind of solutions in a heartbeat. It works right? And if you try to protest, you’re already on the side of the dirty, dirty criminals. Checkmate.
