Sammy J’s News of the Week:
My week has been incredibly boring – apart from my exciting Wednesday morning. Picture this; a bleary eyed Samuel James arises early on a Wednesday morning, his stomach groans and aches. Perhaps the delicious dinner he ate last night was too rich for his digestive system? He races to the toilet and suddenly it’s a massacre – the poo explodes into the bowl and is bright red as it slides down the side of the latrine. More anal bleeding?! Oh no, the colouring is reminiscent of the plate of balsamic beets that he ate the night before. Beetroot poo + Diarrhea = a powerful and messy combination.
Complimentary Tweets of the week:
I have officially made it in the SM scene. (SM = Social Media, obviously, what were you thinking?). The Localist replied to my tweet that I like k’road:
Plus! Original plumbing tweeted me too:
AND I got a recommendation from the lovely queer porn star, Vid Tuesday, and the lovely queer comic star Erika Moen:
Best Review Ever:
I’m so very flattered by this review: http://outontheshelveslibrary.wordpress.com/2012/09/17/trans-webcomics/
Must Read (we)Blog of the week:
I thoroughly enjoyed reading Dylan Meconis’ “How Not To Write Comics Criticisms”, and the link to this little gem by Alison Bechdel.
Awesome Purchase of the Week:
PORN! Comic Porn!!! I was absolutely horrified when I found out about Smut Peddler after the kickstarter had wrapped up, so I was so excited to find that the e-version has just been released and now I have 342 pages of smut goodness all to myself!! Also, it only cost $15 so I think you should download it immediately. What is better than lady-friendly, sex-positive comic porn?! The fact that it has stuff from Erika Moen, Jess Fink, and EK Weaver
Celebrity Gossip of the Week:
Paris Hilton was caught hating on gay guys in a secret recording. Meanwhile, Rupert Everett was caught hating on gay guys in a media interview (can you be caught doing something that you do in an intentionally public way?).
As an antidote to such horror please watch the Sami Sisters newly released song “Oh Boy”.
Online Campaign of the Week:
Everyone’s favourite ski-masked feminist punk crims, Pussy Riot, have posted a letter to the public thanking the international support that they’ve received subsequent to their arrest in Russia. Thanks to everyone’s favourite human rights organization, amnesty international is letting you write back.
– End Transmission –
I think drawing trans bodies and anatomy is good, echoing some of the other comments on this page. I can see using a cis dick to represent a trans guy’s dick in cases where it would make sense to the story, such as with a trans guy with a need for visualizing a cis dick to deal with dysphoria. But personally, I’d go with showing off our own forms.
