Description
Andy and Scout are best buds, roommates, and gay disasters. Along with their friends and plenty of beer, they’re just trying to make it through their 20s, survive late capitalism, and navigate the dating world. Tough and loving Andy is a genderqueer trans individual, who dates like there’s no tomorrow, while Scout, an all-feelings-all-the-time mistake-maker, is still languishing over her ex-girlfriend…from like two years ago.
Created by Archie Bongiovanni (The Quick and Easy Guide to They/Them Pronouns) and originally published on Autostraddle, this edition collects all the best misadventures, internet dates, and bad decisions in one place!

When I "made a wish" for this comic book, I didn't really know what I was getting into. I read queer, I loved the cover, and that was it for me. I was sold!
Then my wish got granted and, wow, I was in for a crazy ride. I know ver few people who are trans, since I go to my town's lgbt community center, but since I'm very introverted, and usually spend my days at home after work and on the weekends, I don't really know any of them for real. We talked, we played, we went to prides together, but that was it.
Grease Bats gave me a little insight of what maybe I could've learned if I wasn't so afraid of going out and meet new people. Being misgendered sounds awful, and I wouldn't wish it on anyone. With all the sadness Andy clearly deals with everyday, they are hilarious to be with, all the shenanigans, the billion hookups, the fashion (I'm living for their shirts!!). How can they get 7 new boyfriends after a bachelorette party? I'm impressed!
And Scout, super shy, unable to date, forever single. She's so relatable! So so relatable. But if I have to think about it, I think I relate the most to Ari: Alone Saturdays and Sundays of Solitude are my jam!
Grease Bats is really fun, raw, and life! You should read it as soon as it's released!

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
