Year Released: 2018-2022?

Is it long, medium, or short?: medium

It is for kids, teens, or adults only?: it’s a colourful silly comic, but it does talk about day-to-day realities, transphobia, and mental illness so the audience is presumed to be at least teens.

A cool quote from the work: “- You’re somebody to me. - You’ll get sick of me, too. - You kidding? I wouldn’t even get sick of those silly little animated yellow guys you like so much. - They are funny… They like bananas… - They sure do.”

Blurb: “The adventures of three young adult animals just trying to get by in the big city!”

Why is it worth your time?: Bailey, the yellow cat, is explicitly stated to have Dissociative Identity Disorder and a couple of pages depict Bailey with their alters. Even though DID is shown mostly as a struggle, Bailey also has a personality outside of that (they are the goofiest member of the main trio). If you want a humorous slice-of-life comic where one of the characters happens to be plural, it’s for you!

Plural Tags: abuse not mentioned (but DID is specified in the tags and additional material), non-switching, mostly enmity but occasional teamwork/friendship, visions and voices, children, imaginary friends, maybe more tags??

Content Warnings: N/A

Accessibility Notes: N/A, no alt text/plain text/image descriptions.

Misc. Notes (if any): the authors were interviewed by Alexandrite System about Secondhand Soup and DID: https://youtu.be/1L7v20hJkWM
