This aptly described "graphic novel" contains images of full frontal and partial frontal nudity. The title actually refers to a condom. The plot is about a young man who is struggling to figure out what to do with his sexual urges, and his life as a gay person attempting to be straight is complicated by the fact that he lives in a 1960's Southern town full of religious bigots on the order of the vicious Ku Klux Klan. In this setting, the religious people of the town are easily fooled at best, and at worst, completely racist and full of murderous hatred toward blacks and gays. Fathers in this novel are illiterate, disabled, or arrogantly hateful toward both blacks and gays. I found it kind of sad that the gay men in the story did not have intelligent, strong fathers to help them through the most vulnerable times of their lives. The author's message seems to be that accepting ones' own homosexual orientation is therapeutic, definitely not something everyone would agree with.
