Summary: I'd like to dedicate this to those friends of mine who, looking out for their own my well-being, advised me not to post it. (Well, I say 'advised'. It seems more diplomatic than "NOOO KAREN NOOOOEESS!") They almost convinced me... but if Marvel gets to publish Adventures of the Spectacular Spider-sperm, I no longer shall be swayed by what should not exist in a sane world. After all, I live in this one. :D

So here's those Superhero monthlies!

With Contex, it Makes Sense.

Reccer's Notes: This in-universe ad campaign for a menstrual hygiene product line, complete with bright perky Girl Power! celebrity superhero endorsements, defies the trope No Periods, Period with downright glee. ([personal profile] odditycollector also captures the tone of the menstrual hygiene ads that used to run in comics in the 60’s and ‘70’s (https://www.sequentialcrush.com/blog/2012/01/selling-romance-pursettes-tampon-ads) —a pretty tacit acknowledgement of the existence of comics readers who needed such products.)
