Synopsis for "Under Glass"

This story begins showing all the signs of being a social commentary as it shows a violent dysfunctional family going through the motions in their rundown tenement. After the father suddenly attacks and murders a neighbor under suspicion his wife has been unfaithful to him, he gloats that the authorities will be annoyed but won't otherwise punish him. As the family all begin to start apparently yelling at the reader for watching and judging them, the panels' point of view pulls back to reveal that they are all in a glass enclosure, a zoo for humans built by super-evolved insects who had overrun the earth after an atomic war in 1993.
