Kimberly Wilder: An Assessment Part 2

In another, rather more humorous drawing that also suggests cannibalism, an older woman, naked but for the apron, oven mitt, and high heels she wears, holds a forked hotdog over a charcoal grill with one hand (the hand wearing the mitt) as she holds the younger woman standing before her firmly under the chin with her other hand. The older woman eyes the younger woman menacingly.

On the faintly sketched picnic table behind the women, linked sausages, a bottle of ketchup, and a bottle of mustard, equally faintly executed, stand, as if waiting to be of service to the cook.

The nubile young woman, a large bow in her hair and the top of her low neckline tugged below her breasts, lifts her shirt to reveal her garter belt, and the viewer sees that she wears no panties. The rest of her meager outfit consists of her stockings and high heels. The young woman, eyes on the hotdog that has been either taken from the grill, cooked, or is about to be put onto it, to be cooked, looks anxious. She is wondering, perhaps, whether the menu will include, along with the frankfurters and sausages, her own grilled penis. However, her erection makes it obvious that, despite her anxiety, she is also aroused at the thought that her own manhood might be added to the picnic's fare. Becoming food for her mistress' table, Wilder suggests, would be fulfillment, indeed, for the lovely young lady whose only desire, it appears, is to serve her better.

I have described the next drawing in my earlier review of Wilder's work, so I will simply reiterate it here for those who haven't read it before:

In some of her fantasy works, a beautiful female or a lively shemale or transvestite nymph struggles with patriarchal power which takes the form of a monstrous phallus. One young woman resembles Eve, without Adam. She is shown struggling with what seems to be Eden's primordial serpent, the devil. However, the presence of two other serpents calls into question this initial interpretation. One snake, python size in length and girth, has climbed a tree--the tree of the knowledge of good and evil?--wrapping its coils around a limb.
