<preview> Ball joints?

<full page> Ball joints.

Am so used to seeing the real dolls and blowup dolls in the titular fuckdoll role that this makes for an interesting choice. Clearly Zenon is a wannabe god of much taste and culture. Would have liked to see her key lying next to her on the grass though.

Perhaps the keyhole is decorative.

Aside from objecting to the waste of it, I applaud his imaginative use of power. The imagery is very bleak - discarded doll lying in disarray.

Always darkest before the light? I'm torn... I don't want to see a wasteful, sloppy villain win - and he's jumped the shark already. Nor the boring hero. My vote is for an anti-hero.

Zenon has crossed the line from ordinary, everyday villainy to cartoonish supervillainy.

Probably just a coincidence but the bottom two panels form an image oddly reminiscent of 190/191.

There are only so many ways a body can sprawl on the ground.

I have very mixed feelings about this development.  This is the first instance of radical physical transformation in SJI.  I fear the worms that may even now be fleeing the opened van.

It feels like we've descended into the "I'm almost started!" arc from Calvin and Hobbs.

Also, Z-Bro took one of the sexiest women in creation and made her something not sexy.

My critique of Z-Bro is now this:

You lost your turn, moron.  Give the power to someone with some spine and imagination.  Happily there IS a dude better suited to this power right there and available.  Thanks for playing.  Either disintegrate or disappear for about two years.  Please and thank you.

It's not: remember Vik hulking up.

Also, this isn't the "real world". They're still in the pseudo-reality of the pink mist (as stated in 898) when Julian talks to Kanti. While mental changes are a given, there's no indication that physical changes would be reflected in reality.
