Basically, Humanimals did the same broad concept infinitely better and more tastefully.

The closest thing I can see for a 'point' to all this is an experiment to see what a children's comic would look like if the author were a serial killer - an insider trying to make outsider art, basically. Problem is that Millar decided (because he's a puerile shock-jock) to go full horrifying, resulting in a work where even if you get the joke, it's not remotely pleasant or engaging to read. Again, Humanimals is a much better take on the concept because it marries the weird, freaky poo poo with a strange sense of innocence, and because it's just the implied fictional author's ridiculous, otherworldly fetishes rather than anything actually reprehensible.
