Cute comic about two people's (and their friend's) queer experiences and lives. It had a little too much angst for me, but maybe that is a pretty accurate portrayal of how it feels to be queer in today's society.

Fresh and decidedly old fashioned at the same time. Takes the century-old format of a newspaper strip and applies it to 20-something queer angst. Also, worth the read for Andy’s t-shirt slogans alone (“Yes Today Satan” might be my favorite).

I absolutely loved this comic and I think it’s a great insight into a queer family. I went in thinking it was a teen title but I think it’s for millennials and gen x folks. I hope it gets lots of attention and readers from adults.

I was so sad when this ended! I felt like I was hanging out with my friends the whole time I was reading it. Sometimes when I read queer books, I feel like bi characters get left behind so it was very nice to have such a great bi character in this book for me to relate to. I loved all the individual characters but Scout was my favorite. I loved the relationship that all of the characters had with each other and how they just seemed so respectful and loving. And if there ever was an issue they would talk about it (with much griping from Andy about ~feelings~) and work it out. Also, I loved all the Halloween parts because that is my favorite holiday as well! If you are any shade of queer there will be a character in here for you somewhere. I really feel like everyone is well represented in this comic. Highly recommend this!

I loved this! This book is a collection of strips about the life of Andy and their friend Scout. Andy is genderqueer and trying to live the best possible queer life - amidst angst and confusion and all of that good stuff. Scout is all about feelings and being queer, and living life ... and these two are AMAZING.

Archie Bongiovanni has captured a little corner of the queer world that made me laugh, nod enthusiastically, roll my eyes and feel a little teary. I'm not exaggerating. There's a LOT in this small book and I know it's one perspective on living in the world when you're not quite like everyone you see all the time. But ... I get that ... and it's important to be able to see yourself on a page.

The art is great, fresh and hilarious - make sure you check out the t-shirts - and this book is going to be a balm for the soul of anyone who lives in the real world!

Thank you Archie Bongiovanni for stories for the "rest of us". :D

This is a sweet comic. I am sure it will resonate even more with people from that age group. The characters are young 20 something queers making their way in this world.. Enjoyable rrad.
