The rise of webcomics has allowed for an explosion of stories, advice and representation to come out of the trans* community in recent years. Previously a pretty invisible slice of the LGBTQ pie, the spectrum of gender queerness is now documented over the internet in a dazzling array of portrayals. Trans* comics tend to tread a fine line between comedy and tragedy – trying to put forward their facts and life lessons while remaining somewhat uplifting to read. And of all the comics I’ve read, Rooster Tails may have the perfect balance to tug at your heartstrings. So, as I do, I interviewed it’s creator:Read More →

Gaysome Review

It never ceases to astound me how vocal people are about things they dislike, which they could easily just not partake in. I mean, I could complain to cows about my lactose intolerance – but we’d both end up just feeling guilty and sad. My bugbear of the day lies with Gaysome, a fairly new webcomic that I really like, which has been put on an indefinite hiatus as the author needs a break from being hated-on for “portraying gay stereotypes“. Which in the most professional terms I can muster; is complete donkey%^&*$!&fist. Sorry. That word may be a bit too sophisticated for people outsideRead More →

If Brian Cox is “The Sexy Face of Quantum Physics” (which he is), then Andrew O’Neill is “The Sexy Embodiment of Ig Nobel”: His comedy is one of Laughter, thinking and randomness. Back in August at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival I came up with a convoluted plan to see a small part of the show Andrew O’Neill is Easily Distracted, by going to it, leaving after 30mins, getting a taxi to my own show, and arriving late after my friend Simon D. Heaven had done his half first, which I normally did. After being told quite correctly that this idea was stupid I’ve been waitingRead More →

SG WNA Birthday

Happy Birthday to Morgan Boecher! Creator of What’s Normal Anyway, the comedic and insightful webcomic about being trans male. WNA isn’t Morgan’s autobiography as such, but the experiences of the main character, Mel do intersect with both his own and the people he knows. As such it explores many of the different trials and events that very different kinds of people may endure, quote from Morgan “There is no one right way to be trans, after all.” I’d seriously recommend WNA to anyone wanting to know more about being trans or the effects of hormone therapy, as well as anyone whose just up for aRead More →

Sunstone

Have you ever searched for one of the sadly rarest gems in comics? A story that discusses BDSM, without being straight-up porn (or crap)? Well throw your copies 50 Shades into a burning bin, huddle up to the glow and feast your senses on Sunstone. Sunstone is the first, and to this date only comic I’ve read that focuses on the relationship between a Sub and Dom that act like real humans. They talk outside of sex, have jobs, pay bills and most importantly; don’t go to a goddamn High School. While discussing the dynamics of a BDSM relationship, the comic also explores related topics,Read More →
