When I was a young boy-like creature I remember watching the gore classic, Blood Diner , were two crazy brothers hold a ritual to raise a Goddess from the dead. When they actually succeed, she has this amazingly enormous vagina dentata and bites off a dudes head! From that moment on I was changed.

Just last year, another indie film made a few waves  about this topic. Teeth
was a coming of age story in which a young girl has to face more than the typical horrors of high school. She also has one of those pesky dentatas. Recently, my girlfriend (who shares a love of the dark and bizarre with me) decided that the world needed a website devoted to the glorious beast that is the fur burger chomper. Hence, DENTATA.net was born. WARNING: images on dentata.net could disturb and horrify a large percentage of the population, causing eye bleedage and (for the fellas) penis inverting. Click at your own risk.

My lady, Shannon Hourigan, used a collage of her own photographs as well as others and blended them together to create a variety of women whom all suffer (or are blessed, depeneding on how you look at it I guess) from a case of vag-teeth. It’s a surreal world she has created in which the monster is accepted and on the loose!

When she showed me the site I got excited. It was so sick and twisted that I simply had to put my own thumb print on it. “Let me write a vagina dentata comic strip for this site!” I said with a exclamation mark. She agreed and I soon gave birth to my VERY short lived comic, Polly and Virginia. It followed the “adventures” of a young woman named Polly and her sass talking, dick chomping vagina, Virginia. The strip went for four episodes before I abandon it, but I still think it could be a pretty funny strip if I ever had the time and maybe someone else to illustrate it.

 

To clarify, this is not a site devoting to male hating or bashing. It is, in fact, a very humorous and artistic look at one of mythologies most horrible creatures. Check out the site. It’s a lot of fun and TOTALLY suitable for work (cough cough).

Dentata.net

Much love

Travis
