It has one distorted, blue, huge hand with three thick fingers and one distorted, blue, huge foot. Two smaller human-like figures are attached to the larger woman’s body’s stomach.

[Image Description: This is a one-page black and white super panel comic. A text box in the top right corner reads ‘Kolkata metro, 2017’. It is a jam-packed train compartment with passengers of varied ages and genders. The page is divided into five panels, with the poles within the train compartment acting as separators. Text on the left-hand side of the page reading ‘LADIES’ indicates a section of the seats as reserved for women. At the centre of the page in a circular panel we see a hand grabbing patterned fabric, against a black background. A small rectangular panel that appears above it, has a set of horrified eyes within, indicating the woman becoming aware of groping hands. The woman who is harassed screams “Bo*****da” – the text in Bengali appearing on the top right section of the page. Another female passenger who appears in the top left section of the page reacts, with the text “Look at how she is dressed!” in a speech bubble. A woman towards the bottom left of the page is pointing to the crowd, at the perpetrator as he is slipping away, with the words “CATCH THAT MAN!” in a speech bubble attributed to her. In the bottom right corner of the page, an exchange unfolds between two bespectacled middle-aged men. One of them is saying “Chhee what disgusting language!”, as the other responds with “The metro is no longer for the Bhodrolok!*”. An asterisk at the bottom of the page reads ‘Bhodrolok’ – Bengali word for gentleman with caste connotations. A text box appears in the bottom left corner of the page which contextualises the contents of the image. The text reads: “In 2021, an online survey across metropolitan areas in India indicated that almost 56% of women who avail public transport reported being sexually harassed.” in the bottom left corner]
