Explanation[edit | edit source]

Little Shop of Horrors. (The, if you're classy, but the plant's purple tongue and it being able to swivel its head is specifically from the design of the 1986 version and not the 1960 version.)

The title is a reference to the song "I Do Coke" by Feed Me (though the reference is ambiguous because the lyric is actually borrowed from a 1990 PSA). "Feed me," of course, is wot the plant says in those movies, and there's also the song named "Feed Me" in the musical and the later movie.

The author's note is a reference to the rewritten ending of the 1986 movie which famously blew chunks.

The clever and astute will notice this comic is frivolous in its concept because Twoey explicitly states in "Feed Me" his food "must be human." Additionally, plants don't eat cats in real life.[original research?]

Meanwhile, Jon gets rich by killing 2 people, then runs away with Liz to fantasy suburbia and everything turns out fine yay.
