In one of her older strips; The Life of Momongo, our eponymous heroine, is born into an over-populated future world riven by famine. But fortunately, she just happens to be a 'human insect' with the ability to mate with any organism and incorporate its genes. So, aware that jellyfish adapt by physically shrinking when they run out of food, canny Momongo ensures her survival by mating with just such a multi-tentacled beast.
