Fru T. Bunn

Fru T. Bunn, The Master Baker and his Gingerbread Sex Dolls is a strip in the British adult comic Viz that has appeared in many issues since 1999.

Fru (short for Frubert) is a Master Baker (a pun on the term "masturbator") who for one reason or another is unsatisfied with the sex life he has with his wife, Noreen. To this end, he bakes himself life-sized sex dolls made out of gingerbread, with currant buns or meringues in place of the breasts and donuts in place of the genitalia.

Other gingerbread characters frequently appear in the strip, in place of actual people. For instance, Fru gets arrested for having sex with a gingerbread sex doll in someone's caravan. He then gets locked in a cell, occupied by an inmate who turns out to be a gingerbread man with an extremely large chocolate eclair for a penis, and it is implied that Fru is anally raped by the inmate. The February 2005 issue shows him being arrested by gingerbread policemen for statutory rape on a gingerbread serving girl he made, and being led to a gingerbread police van in front of a gingerbread lynch mob. Where the extra gingerbread people come from is never elaborated on, adding to the surreal nature of the strip.

Sadly, other bakers in the comic's world are just like Fru - while on holiday, Fru notices a fellow baker on holiday with a gingerbread doll of his own. Fru follows them to the beach, where he begins masturbating over the sunbathing gingerbread doll. Unfortunately, he gets pummelled when the baker accompanying the gingerbread doll returns from swimming. Fru has also attended a swingers' party for bakers and their gingerbread wives, and gone "dogging" with other bakers.

Fru and Noreen have a school-age daughter, Chelsea. Initially she was fairly normal, but later became severely handicapped, being reduced to a very low mental age. Since then it has several times been implied (though never stated outright) that she walked in on Fru performing a sex act on one of his dolls, and the shock of seeing this resulted in her being left in her current (currant) state. More recent strips have retconned this, now stating that Chelsea has been handicapped since birth.
