The Doll Games’ archetypical "manly man" with action arm, originally used to chop a plastic log (now lost). An early addition to the Doll Games borrowed from A. Jackson, his name seems to gently parody his original identity as brawny lumberjack "Big Josh". In spite of his muscled torso, mustache, and the mature bulge in his plastic underwear, all of which marked him as masculine "other" to the youthful androgynes Laurie and Aina, and no doubt to the young Jacksons, Josh had a vulnerable quality: his legs dangled weakly from his loosely jointed hips, and later began to loosen and fall off, as did his hands and even eventually his left foot, making him a source of comedy, especially in the late farces, but also transforming him, in the end, into what we can only see as the Doll Games’ sorrowful, suffering Christ.
