Oh my goodness, I’ve been really blown away by the responses to my Queer comic. Seriously, I’ve gotten teared up over the heartfelt emails from my fellow queers who have gone through the same experiences as I have <:) The love and support I’ve received for it mean the fucking world to me.
I’ve also been asked about making the comic available as a print! So, hey! That is a thing now! (For a limited time)
The smallest size I could make it and still retain its legibility was a whopping 8.5” x 24”
That’s, like, two feet long :OSo yeah! That is my update. Uhm, hope ya had a good weekend?
follow me and watch me figure out how to use twitter!
Batman Hot Pants 3 Pack, $19.50, Hot Topic.
This set of Bat-unmentionables offers everything that you could ever want from a pair of super-skivvies: studs, glow-in-the-dark Bat-symbols, and trompe-l’oeil utility belts. One could only hope that these undies also prevent VPL under a Kevlar-lined bodysuit…
Everybody’s got their thing, man. Don’t let ‘em tell you what to do!
This is SHIRT #2 which is available from my new Topatoco store! It was inspired by a request many moons ago and remains one of my favourite images. Check it out!
Queer (English Version)
Alright friends, I got the English version online! I just wanted the first day’s worth of hits to go straight to Projet 17 mai, since they’re the ones who asked me to contribute, y’know? /:)DISCLAIMER: Since this comic is addressing sexual identity, I only included sexualities under the Queer umbrella— although, obviously, queer also encompasses many gender identities as well.
As I said in my post debuting the French version,
Projet 17 mai contacted me several months ago about creating a comic on the theme of homophobia, and though it is definitely something I’ve experienced (being denied service in shops, having people throw garbage, being followed by howling gangs of men, etc. just for holding my girlfriend’s hand), I actually have been more hurt and upset by the biphobia I’ve experienced from the LGBT “community” for falling in love with and marrying a cisgender man. Even bisexuals have been needlessly mean because I feel the term “queer” is a better fit for me instead of “bi” (it’s totally cool if “bisexual” is the term that works for you!! It’s just not the one for me).
Basically, the Identity Police have been very hurtful to me (and others who are attracted to multiple genders), so that’s what I did my comic on.The English version of that comic I posted earlier.
