    I don’t get it. This guy was shooting doctors? Why? Is there a second page to the comic?

            I think it’s because turpentine is associated with DIY abortion and maybe slavery. Men “fixing” women and the women having to “unfix” themselves. Using different solutions to induce abortion.

            The tin snips and vasectomies is a decent clue.

              Isn’t it also highly flammable? My first thought with the comic was it would be used for arson.

      The Devils Panties tends to use that character to depict an amalgamation of Gamergate, Rapist Brock Allen Turner, Kyle Rittenhouse, and every online debatebro combined, and so the other characters are written to react to him in such a way.
