[Image Description: A single image featuring an edit of a comic consisting of 6 panels. The comic features two individuals, one who’s purple with a teardrop shaped head and one who’s green with a rectangle shaped head. The first five panels consist of a panel with a light blue background. The last panel has a hot pink background. Various parts of the conversation between the two individuals has been edited. In the first panel the purple individual speaks up and says “Hi I’m polyamorous.” To which the green individual responds with “Oh, so like... you have commitment issues.” In the second panel the purple individual puts their finger over the green indivdual’s mouth to stop them from talking and tells them “No.” In the third panel the green individual speaks up again, whilst the purple individual still holds their finger over the green individual’s mouth, and says “Erm, so like... your partner let’s you cheat on them.” In the fourth panel the purple individual now holds two fingers up over the green indivdual’s mouth to once again stop them from talking and tells them “No.” In the fifth panel the purple indivdual speaks up again in response, while still holding both fingers to shush the green individual, and says “like polyamorous, as in able, wanting, or choosing to feel love for multiple partners at the same time. Like exactly what the name means if you actually thin hard enough. Poly. Amorous.” In the sixth panel the green individual speaks up again, as the purple individual is seen still holding their fingers to the green individual’s mouth, and says “Oh heck.”

The image consists of an illustration of King Arthur standing before a round table surrounded by knights. 12 People point their swords towards the center of the table while standing in a circle around it. Each of the swords in the image has bold white text over it. The 12 swords, going in a clockwise order, are labeled: "lgbtqia+", “d&d players”, “neurodivergent folks”, “we just wanted to spice up our marriage”, “witches”, “enneagram 7s”, “renaissance faire peeps”, “kinksters”, “willow smith”, “sex therapists”, “vampires”, “#vanlife”. The center of the table is labeled with big, bold white text which reads "non-monogamy."

Her girlfriend’s going on a date with a real hunk—but she knows what really matters (tomorrow’s lunch). A little poly-friendly edit of the cover of dc comics’ “heart throbs” no. 124 (1970).

[Image Description: A single edited image taken from the Lord of the Rings: the Fellowship of the Ring, showing the council of Elrond. The image shows many different characters attending the council, each seated with their chairs forming an unclosed circle, starting from the bottom left corner and going all the way around to end at the bottom right corner. Near one end of the circle is a pedestal. On top of the pedestal the original polyamorous pride flag is placed. Each of the characters surounding it has bold white text put over them to show what each represents. Starting from the bottom left, going in a clockwise order clockwise it reads: swingers, solo polyamorists, kitchen table polyamorists, polyfidelity, polycules, geographical non-monogamists, quads, parallel polyamorists, throuples, kink/fetish community, open couples, relationship, enm, monogamish couples. At the bottom of the image is white text which reads “The flag must be replaced.”

[Image Description: A single square image with a white background. At the top of the image is left-aligned black text which reads “you say the values of polyamory are love, openness, honesty, commitment and consent but those are just the values of any healthy relationship.” The rest of the image is made up of many overlapping pictures of many different children giving a thumbs up.

Disclaimer: not all polyamorous people think everyone is hot at all times. But some do! Lil edit on an oldie. Original illustration from the back cover of gay comix #5 by artist Theo van den Boorgard.

[Image Description: A single square image of a single comic panel from Gay Comix, issue 5 from 1992. Right above the panel is some bold black text which reads “polyamory”, immediately followed by thin, italicized black text which reads “(noun):” The panel has two outlines, one being yellow and the other being light brown. The background of the panel is light green. The panel consists of two men and two woman. Each walking in their own direction. Each of the individuals is looking at another and they all have the same thought bubble popping up. The text within the thought bubble reads “what a beauty!” From each person there’s also various dotted arrows pointing to every other person to signify that each person is looking at all the others with the same thought in mind. Near the top middle of the image is the “@polyamproud” watermark in gray letters at a lower opacity.
