A satirical look at patriarchal ownership, dehumanization, and sexual objectification when middle-aged virgin buys a sex-doll.
Doll is celebrated cartoonist Guy Colwell’s (Inner City Romance) darkly satirical take on patriarchal ownership, dehumanization, and sexual objectification. When an artist crafts a lifelike sex doll for a disfigured, middle-aged virgin, it soon takes on a lurid life of its own. Like an erotic Frankenstein’s monster, the mannequin brings out the basest instincts in each person it crosses paths with.
