So this image right here is the first Fem-Alex that I drew last year once I was beginning my process to get prescribed HRT. The rest are a collection of Alex drawings that I was experimenting with as I was figuring out what my eventual look would be before coming out publicly.

Self discovery and improvement never stops, so I'm sure I'll be changing more as time goes on!

BEHOLD, PROTO-FEM-ALEX

Everyone has their demons. Some of them very often do need support themselves! So with that, with the help of some friends, we've started Monsters Anonymous!

Are you a creature of infernal, eldritch, or other unknown or otherworldly origins? Have you struggled to find purpose and productivity with a host or otherwise attached sapient creature that somehow doesn't wish to give in to your dark influences? Are you at odds with the rest of the world and would rather seek paths to a better way forwards that isn't laying waste to villages? Have you escaped some unmarked testing facility and require a new identity? Do you seek a true purpose beyond the surface facade of your assumed destructiveness?

Then pull up a seat! Let's talk! Let's find the double negatives in your polarizing existence! We're here for you!

Another reel-ified comic, featuring @minamothart again as Gal Famous!

Original comic post:

For the record, I’m not really sure if the maintenance team in my office building checks for stuff like loose toilet seats, but it was driving me crazy so I took matters into my incredibly capable, *experienced* hands.

This feels like the first comic I’ve made that’s actually like, a “comic” comic, as opposed to what these strips have been so far: mostly just stories through my first twenty two months of transitioning, or general concepts that I wanted to express my feelings on.

Like, this story is rooted in a real event, sure, but bringing in Jack and Gal Famous for this makes the strip feel like… a “comic” comic, whatever that means.

Ok, so… “Gal Famous”…

She wasn’t named in her initial appearance, but this was tentatively her name at that point already, and I’d like to credit Fran Sundblad for it. 

When writing that strip, I sent the draft to Fran to ask her opinion.  The character was initially listed in the draft as “Guy”.  Fran said that she was going “to refer to him as ‘Guy Famous’ from now on”.

I really liked that name, and once the character became a lady she was “Gal Famous” to me.

…also I really like drawing her, she’s a fun draw.

Will we see a ton of Jack and Gal Famous moving forward?  Not sure!  My guess is that strips will still often include little vignettes about stuff that happens to me, but when they can be utilized, I’d like to get them involved.

They’re kind of new territory for me, I’m not really a character writer… or like, a “writer” writer…
