Title: Dollthing #1. A three panel comic strip. Panel 1: 2015. A faceless hairdresser points a mirror at the back of the protagonists head. They say, 'looks lovely, doesn't it? You're very brave, having it all lopped off'. The protagonist with the classic teenage transmasc bomber jacket, says, yeah, thanks. It looks great. They don't look enthused. Panel 2: 2022. a shadowy hallway. Protagonist is sobbing with lines of hopeless thought/mumbled desperation behind them in the mirror like they can't get a mastectomy and they'll never get on t. They are buzzing all their hair off, wearing a garbage bag tunic to catch the hair, though much of it is instead on the floor. Panel 3: 2024. Protagonist with shaved head in lingerie, taking a mirror selfie in a changing room. Thought bubble: it is doll! Of course! It is so simple!Dollthing #2. 2 panel comic. Dollthing is holding a lamp and its cable looking confused, in the dark. Offscreen someone says 'bottom!' Dollthing replies, 'yes?' Before realising they meant the base of the lamp. 'Oh.' They switch it on.it's dollthing #3! a two-panel comic. the titular character stops by a mirror and takes a moment to admire themselves. 'this face was made for the brainwashing chamber <3'
