About
You can't sculpt someone to love.
Derryl, a lonely radish, attempts to create a boyfriend out of a defunct and now illegal children's product. His creation, Peter, springs to life ready to make a child happy, and instead finds a suffocating and cloistered existence catering to Derryl's needs. When Peter sneaks out to a party one night and meets Derryl's friends, he discovers there's even more to his creator's intentions than he thought.
A queer complication on the Pygmalion myth, brought to life through Lonnie Garcia's emotional, multimedia comic art.

Reviews
"An eerie but nostalgic comic about being held hostage in someone else's sadness. A wonderful use of colors and mixed media, digital drawing and analog sculpture collaged with expressive cartooning, captures the unease of someone unable to face reality.'"
