Taking credit for the work of people who are barely even credited in the first place is… a way of responding. If only she had disappeared behind the curtain for a moment, re-emerging with everyone there with big hair and guitars and eye shadow and screamed “we are McCarty and the Et Als!!!”
She is McCarty for sure but I doubt that she is et al too …
We’re all et al on this glorious day!
My friends just call me Al.
Can you call me Betty?
Hello Al, I’m Et.
Alright Allen Iverson… Or is it just Al. Can’t tell with damn LlIi
Oh, that reminds me:
l ll ll L
I’m at a loss as to what you are trying to say.
Speak for yourself.
Maybe et al was their last name.

Oh well; next time.
She drew attention to her being the/an author of the paper rather than just being a naming coincidence (or family relation, etc).
Adding the et al was likely for that effect, rather than an attempt to take credit for other authors’ work, imo
“Et al” is a pretty funny honorific though
Common misunderstanding - her full name is “Jessica McCarty Et Al”
Is that her father?
Yeah, Papa Et Al registered Et Al as his family name, and combined names when he got married
She’s so prolific, one mere mortal body is insufficient for her bamfness.
