I am not sure that my strategy of talking about poop on panels is a great one. I’ll try to hold it in next time 😉 I really loved the comic fest, though, and was super proud to be involved. Big thanks to Hannah for being amazing.
Toby Morris’ comic featured in this strip is this one. My one can be found here.
Drawing this reminded me of when I drew him in a comic strip I did about 10 years ago, when I wrote for critic magazine (my university paper).
Here’s the panel with him in it (he was less beardy in those days and I was obviously, not out as a dude). The full comic is about me trying to make comic friends, me being socially awkward, and imagining them rejecting me – which, obviously me being socially awkward has remained, but Toby has always actually been a real sweetheart:
The full strip will is up on my patreon page.
This is kind of a weird post to comment on about this, but I felt like you deserved to know this. I’m a pre-T transguy who’s currently out to a grand total of 1 person, due to living in a really conservative and transphobic town and family on the States. Whenever I feel dysphoric or sad about myself, I always read your comics because they cheer me up so much. Being a gay transguy, I really admire you as a person, and your art. I love the fact that you’re proud of who you are, and you give me hope for the future. Thank you so much for posting these because you are helping so many people, especially me.
Ohhh Matthew, this is such a lovely comment to post! Thank you so so much, that makes me feel so good. I’m glad that you find the comics helpful
I missed the poop session! Glad it got a reference in the second session.
this is so great – the talk was great too! <3
