Nice Try, Vagina Mouth



This is another fabulous comic from the webcomic Perry Bible Fellowship (see link to the right). It really spoke to me, not only because it is just funny and clever, but also because of the vagina dentitis. There is a Native American story (can't remember which tribe at the moment, sorry) called "Teeth Down There." I think you can guess what happens.

I think this is a fascinating way of representing the unfathomable mystery that is the body of a woman. All sorts of frightening, bizarre inventions are thought up in folklore (and webcomics) to represent or give name to the overwhelming, vast, beautiful mystery that women have inside them. One doesn't know if he'll find a garden, or a mouth full of jagged teeth!

Anyway... I'm sorry the PBF comics arae so tiny; you can click on the comic to enlarge it a little.
