#badbadthingscomic

Here at Lady Geek Girl and Friends, we like recommending cool diverse webcomics, and I've come to add another one to our list as this week's Web Crush. It's called Bad Bad Things. I found it thanks to a recommendation reblogged by the queermediarepresentation Tumblr (which might be a Web Crush for another week), and I instantly fell in love with the gorgeous art, mysterious dystopian world, and diverse characters.

Let me tell you more about it below, with some spoilers.

Ok I’m gonna use characters from the comic my boyfriend and I do! (it’s over at badbadthingscomic.com if you don’t know it)

Shortest is Alice! she is a short fat girl and I love her

Then Milo who is honestly pretty buff but not the tallest

Then Daniel who is followed by Maria, and they would get into fights about who is taller, and then they’d actually measure it and Maria would be the clear winner. She would be very proud of herself she likes being The Toughest.

Hey! We’ve gotten several comments about Milo’s binding methods, we haven’t responded up till now but we figured it’s probably time to do that! We just wanted to explain briefly what’s going on there because Milo’s binding technique is definitely not the healthiest, but for reasons that are going to start to get clearer he doesn’t exactly have other binding techniques at his disposal, or for that matter the information regarding the long term effects of binding with bandages. Binding with bandages absolutely can cause a wide range long term of back problems, rib problems, etc. and shouldn’t be practiced in real life. We’ll be putting some resources regarding proper binding techniques/places to acquire binders below! As for within the comic, it’s important to remember that the story is detailing a bunch of poorly adjusted teens in a terrible situation, they’re really not going to be making good choices about a lot of different things and their actions definitely should not be emulated, but in the future we’ll attempt to provide resources for anyone that might make similar mistakes. We also appreciate our readers attempts to inform each other and keep each other safe, the comic is going to be dealing with some pretty heavy subject matter and we’re hoping that the discussions that come up regarding them will end up being helpful to some people who are going through/have gone through similar things.
