Woman Comics: Molly Kiely Diary of a Dominatrix

I thought it was interesting where she would like to go for comics, i mean i never thought a comic would be about a dominatrix woman would be one of them.  But i love her illustrations, i love the style with line work and blocking things in with black.  The black and white and some with a little bit of color such as her nail polish and lips make them so much stronger to my eye.  I liked how in the beginning of the comic she had a poster portraying a dominatrix and she is all tied up and on the side its a ad with the number to call is you want to get with her over the phone like phone dominatrix sex.  I thought it was original just because i have never seen this and for a woman to do this is surprising just because it seems more like a males fantasy than a woman's.  I wonder if she was into this kind of stuff or it just amused her to do it, or maybe saw a market for the use of doing this. 

The comic has humor in it that i enjoyed, i mean saying she is your friendly neighborhood dominatrix is pretty funny and how she portrays it as not a bad job where she enjoys what she does like dressing up everyday and maybe beating the shit out of your boss ( which is hilarious.)  It got a little raunchy with the butt plugs and dildos or your fist, and then showing a guy put one of those props up his butt. I mean i guess i know now that dominatrix doesn't mean just whips but crazy ass things that involve stretching a guys balls. ouch. 

The panels i thought were interesting, the use of showing her prepping up her appearance and the other three panels on the same page shows her doing other stuff like popping a pimple, and teasing her eyebrows... i thought the close up's were a great way to go into more depth of an outsiders look of a panel.  Also some of the pages where things that she needs/wants to do.  As in, what she needs to do to get ready, what kind of make up, what should she wear, what would she need to bring for props, and she makes it like a dress up kit doll so you could cut her out and put the outfit you want on her.  i thought that was very creative on her part.

i liked how the panels of the comics were not just the only thing she did but when she did ad's or posters, or a huge panel that just showed how normal they could be when they are in public shopping for food compared to the panels that are just all over the place and showing how many ways you can do something to a guy.  Some of the panels on a page would be a little stressful to try and understand, there would be just so much to try and read into the illustrations and the props and objects on the side would just overwhelm my eyes.
