Sex & Nudity

  • Drawings (sketches and doodles) and comic strips with explicit depictions, whether fantasy or realism vein, of almost every human sexual behavior under the sun are featured, including masturbation, frottage, fellatio, cunnilingus, fisting, sodomy—these taking the form of heterosexuality or homosexuality, or bisexual orgies/trains—and coitus (regular heterosexual intercourse), involving largely fictional or hypothetical: human, humanoid or anthropomorphic characters—some "autobiographical". There is a little bit of bestiality (particularly with dogs and some cats) as well. However, present as they are, the cartoon depictions of sex involving children or babies are non-explicit or redacted in some way, which is discussed (child pornography, and censorship).
  • A number of the drawings contain only nudity or genitalia (including erect penises) and without masturbation or sex. Some drawings show farting or defecation, often during sex. Others deal with menstruation. There are some gaping orifice drawings as well.
  • A page out of a comic about a family in which incestuous relationships run rife depicts an orgy room with a picture on the wall showing two naked little children having sex, no genitalia being shown. Within the same image, amid the family orgy, there is also a dog mounting a person.
  • There is a short panning shot of newspapers or magazines, and one of them has a black-and-white close-up photograph of the behind of kneeling naked woman handcuffed at her back, her legs spread in such a way that her privates would perhaps be visible provided the lighting had been ample. This is likely the only non-cartoon nudity to appear in the whole documentary.

Violence & Gore

  • A page out of a comic dealing with South African apartheid aftermath shows uniformed combatants armed with rifles and standing around the bodies of bloodied, gunned-down comrades with some skeletal remains among them. In this same drawing, two of the men are carrying the body of a skinned man or animal hanging from a log like shish kebab.
  • One of the comics depicts a man strangling a woman and putting his boot to her face, maybe punishing her in other ways. Another comic strip, in the German language, contains a reference to electroshock therapy.
  • In stock footage, an man discusses a comic book having a story in which a recently-wed woman murders her husband by chopping off his head with an axe.
  • As rape and gang rape are briefly discussed, pages from comics depicting trains being run on women or sadistic acts upon and domination of women are featured.

Sex & Nudity

  • Featured is a motion doodle of a barely-anthropomorphic "kid brother" cartoon who undoes his pants to expose and twirl around his unusual member (which is flaccid); "unusual" in the sense of being larger than adult-sized, a joke of sorts.
