Lyra Hill debuted her second comic in a trilogy of stories about oral fixations and female sexuality, Cat Tounge, rear-projecting two 16mm film loops with a restless slide show animation of shifting, color-separated comic panels in between, fully exploring the sonic and sexual atmosphere of two lesbians fantasizing about jungle cats in a wood shop at Brain Frame 19 on August 9th, 2014.
