More DescriptionSequel to "The Rubber Man," in the year 2030 CE and out-of-shape Rubber Man finds himself toppled from his position as NYC's most famous elementary-level prophylactic-usage instructor and forced to take a position as a janitor at the Voorhees Institute, a facility specializing in fertility treatment and genetic research. His ego decimated, and his marriage heading for the rocks, as he trudges to work each evening, the Rubber Man plays silent witness to the issues of the day: a 'gender idenity crisis' run amok, the case of laryngitis the Vatican seems to have developed, the surge in euthanasia numbers, the buy and and selling of human eggs and embryos - and the recent reinstatement of the draft after Islamic extremists nearly managed to bring down one of the city's most iconic landmarks, the NYC Museum of Sex. The night the Rubber Man suddenly finds himself thrust in the spotlight and hailed as a hero, his fortunes take a dramatic turn. "The Return of the Rubber Man" holds mirror to what we as a society may be devolving into.
