    For any Hideshi Hino fans, a magazine-only Garo oneshot was scanned. Apparently it might've been reworked into another story, but I don't recognize it.

    A group of disabled children living in the shadows of some factory smokestacks create a statue out of mud and then beat it down with sticks as a symbolic retribution against the adults that built the factories that spew out the black ash that has stolen away their eyes, mouths and ears. Unfortunately, the ritual fails to work this time too, as the factories remain standing. At the end, they watch the beautiful sunset through the smog.

    Thank you for sharing this rare work by Hideshi Hino! I have not yet found it in any of his collections. Some fascinating early (1968!) environmentalism in there. I cleaned up the scans to the best of my abilities.

    PS:

    The "どろ" of the title doesn't mean "doll" but "mud". ("Doll" would be written with katakana as "ドール".) Then again, "mud" is usually written with the kanji "泥", so there's definitely some wordplay going on here.

    Any day a Hino gets posted is a great day! Thanks for cleaning that up and translating Caterpillar!
