Description
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.

Critical Reviews
Critical 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." - H.A., author of The Chromatic Fantasy
"Pure eye candy: the mixed-media backdrops and highly stylized characters dance together in perfect harmony to create something completely unique. And at the heart of it, an important lesson in codependency." - Yugo Limbo, author of Be Kind, My Neighbor
"Free from the absolute, concrete statements about a specific type of person, Pygmalion is a lightning rod that resonates with the reader's experience." - Arpad Okay, The Beat
