This is a big one, one I’ve been sitting on for a while. I’ve been getting comments from a variety of people who think that I need to be binary; that nonbinary people shouldn’t be nonbinary. And then those same people will also enjoy/relate to different pages of my comics. You can’t! Screw death of the author, because if you can’t respect the author you shouldn’t read their work. This is my life. It’s not for you to pick and choose from.

That being said, thank you to everyone who leaves comments about how my comic has helped them, that they relate to them, that it makes them feel valid. I read every single one and I love and appreciate every single one of you. You are valid and amazing!

From December 4th to the 31st we’ll be on break from comics, but never fear! We have guest comics lined up for you! Guest comics will be posted at 2pm every Tuesday in December.

I drew this the day this happened, which was I while back now. But I was so happy when I saw that in my bank account!

I was checking my bank account every morning…

Sometimes it’s better to not say anything at all.

Is there much difference?
But hey, calling you what you want to be called is too hard for me and I’M offended that you expect that of me.

I tried out faceapp and I don’t know what else I should have expected.

For reference this is what we look like:

Met up with people I haven’t seen in a while and forgot I hadn’t come out to yet. Sometimes I still freeze. It happens to the best of us!

I remember being so happy when Sailor Uranus was introduced. I felt represented even if I didn’t know what that really meant. I was 10 after all.

As a child I was very excited about a lot of “tomboy” characters and then immediately disappointed with them. Now the Sailor Jupiter example is the one I remember the best, but as I got older I did learn that she was never meant to be “the tomboy” of the group – but as an 8 year old I thought she was.

Sailor Jupiter is a great character! I projected onto her as a child and got disappointed.

There is the argument however, about “tomboy” characters who are marketed as such but end up becoming “pretty” or getting a good makeover and now they act different. And that was NOT a fun thing to grow up with.

A friend and me were out walking in our area and found THIS PIN just out on the ground near a construction site. It even had the backing on it still!

We were both pretty amazed!

The Toronto Comics Arts Festival is a place for me to never stand out. There’s also something about being AFAB, white, and masculine presenting being 90% of nonbinary people. While it’s obviously not a bad thing – that’s my preferred way to be – I think that it’s become the norm, which is the not so great part. It really excludes POC, AMAB people, and really anyone outside of the white androgynous circle. Which sucks! I hope one day there’ll be something I can do to help this.

But for now, I hope TCAF will have more diverse people shopping around for their indie comics!
