While You Were Lonely: Showering

heres a little comic ive been working on for the last week. its just a little story about my first boyfriend and recalling the gratifying feeling you get when you tell the universe:

"not this time bitch, somebody loves ME!"

this was great fun to do it, but man, does paneling and sequencing take a lot of work!
i think ill screen print this and make it into little book.
recession tip:
this season save on expensive sponges/exfoliants and use your boyfriend's chest hair instead. boyfriends make the best loofahs. but if you cant find a boyfriend, prostitutes and the homeless are great alternatives.

Queer as Folklore: Scissoring

in my thesis: Queer as Folklore, i invent a series of modern day fables depicting the mythological origins of gay culture.

vaginas make the hardest knots to untangle. the trick is to use vigorous bumping and grinding in a moist and warm environment.
