Comics by Women


Diary of a Dominatrix

First thing's first - I knew this graphic novel was going to be about various accounts of a dominatrix's sexual acts due to the plain heading of it. I'd prefer not to read such things but, I wasn't sure what else to read, so I gave this a go. It started out with the morning ritual of this woman named Zelda Zonks, and how she gets prepared for her "days work" in the dungeon. Molly Keily (author) even adds a paper doll of the character, I guess, for the giggles. She explains the bizarre fetishes and quests men call her to do, and she breaks down each different segment of why and how these men want to be….dominated. There are several pages of items used and listed for these acts and even goes into detail that vegetables are much more humility oriented than a dildo would be because dildos are too personal for her clients. 


The part that shocked me the most is how tortuous these men demand to be punished, like branding - AND she gives an easy-looking explanation of how to circumcise and preform a vasectomy (though of course Keily writes a disclaimer on the side not to blame her if other people even follow her instructions). But I know that's her intension to make it as unpleasant reading as possible and to make men who dare to read it become squeamish instantly. Infact, this whole comic is served to be squeamish towards men from the step-by-step processes of how to torture a man and his manhood - yet making woman only laugh and enjoy it by comparison. After all, Keily doesn't draw Zelda Zonks obscenely elegant and beautiful like most stereotypical male-oriented comics are. She has imperfections like any other normal woman.
