Comic page giving a mini tutorial on what an RSS feed is. Panel 1: You might've seen this icon before. It's the RSS icon. But what is RSS? RSS is an update feed for a website. Every time the site publishes a post, article, comic page, etc. the feed is updated. Most websites have a RSS feed. Panel 2: You'll usually find it in a site's menu. It might also be on a sidebar or the footer. Panel 3: But if I click on it it's just a bunch of code! What gives? What am I supposed to do with it?! Panel 4: This is where you'll need a feed reader like feedly!

Comic page giving a mini tutorial on what an RSS feed is. Panel 1: One, on Feedly click the follow button. Two, copy the URL from the site's RSS button and add it to the search box. Panel 2: Three, this will bring up the feed for the site. Four, Add it by clicking the follow button. You can also search the name of the site without the RSS link but it's more accurate if you have the link. Panel 3: Add the new feed to a folder. Panel 4: Now the feed will appear on your Feedly when it updates! Panel 5: What I did was get the Feedly add-on for my browser. So every time a site I follow updates the extension lets me know! Panel 6: Clicking the title of the update opens the site in a new tab. I personally like seeing content on it's own site. But you can set everything up so you only ever need to open Feedly.

Comic page giving a mini tutorial on what an RSS feed is. Panel 1:If you run a site make sure your RSS button is easily accessible. The URL will usually be something like yoursite.com/feed or yoursite.com/rss. Panel 2: Be sure to follow your own RSS feeds to make sure they're updating properly. This way if it goes down for whatever reason you'll be able to catch the problem before your readers miss too many updates. Panel 3: And that's all there is to it! It's very customizable so play around with it to see what works for you! Panel 4: No fuss. No algorithms. Just the updates you choose to see! Hey! My favourite comic updated!

Up on a lake I'm sitting on a paddle board with my six year old nephew. As he's staring off into the distance, thinking deeply about something he asks me "Jey, you're not a girl like mommy are you?" I'm clearly excited to be having this conversation with him and respond "No, I'm not a girl but I'm also not a boy like you or your dad." My nephew thinks about this and says "Okay! And you can still be my first-mate right?". I tell him "Of course, Captain!" where I'm beaming with excitement over his response as we paddle on wards!

We’re both very proud of it.. Our comic was 8 pages so I’ll be scheduling one per week… Continue reading Compassion: Dads – 1

Comic page done in warm yellows, browns and purples with black line art. Panel one is a waist up shot of Millie as she pushes her hair behind her ear and says “I feel bad because I miss my parents, but my holidays were so much less stressful last year when I couldn’t see them.” Panel two, same shot but Millie is looking down and to the right sadly and says “But like, my mom was surprisingly supportive when I broke up with Stacey.” Panel three, a long wide panel showing everyone at the table making booing noises and faces upon hearing Stacey’s name, while Millie smiles a bit. Panel three, back to Millie from the waist up, she says “Yeah. She let me vent to her and even came to hang out with me a few times. She helped me figure out that what Stacey was doing was abusive.” Panel four, a close up shot of Millie looking down and to the left and saying “But it’s still not always easy to be around her.” Panel five, closer shot of Millie just showing the bottom of her face, her mouth, and her hands delicately holding her café cup, she’s saying “And my dad.”

Comic page done in warm yellows, browns and purples with black line art. Panel one is a large panel with no borders and is done in greys and a little splash of light blue. We see Millie from behind in this flashback and the back of an armchair in the background, Millie’s father is sitting in the armchair watching a glowing tv screen. Narration reads “His big support was ‘don’t tell my sisters or they’ll make fun of you', when I said I was dating a woman. Like, that was aa good as it gets with him. Panel two, back in the present and the warm colour palette. Millie is smiling sweetly at Gabe who puts an arm on her back and says “That’s so hard.” Panel three, medium shot of Gabe as he holds his cafe cup and thinks about his own story. He says “My dad came out when I was ten so I had like this built in exposure to the community.”

Page 3 of our Dads comic, inspired by interviews with real folks with all names and some story details altered of course. It’s a bit of a heavy little comic, but the compassion between a group of queer friends is important. You can grab the anthology this is from here
