BOB! Art, Writing, Animals — The aforementioned Very Gay Comic is now...
For some unfathomable reason, Tumblr has decided to suggest my blog to brand-new accounts to follow, so I've had a crazy influx of followers who, of the ones that are genuine accounts, probably have no idea what they've signed up for. (sorry.)
Oh, and I also have some new bittern-loving followers who have a slightly better notion but might not know the whole story!
So, here's your chance to break out, if you so choose.

Few readers enjoy their agency in a polity of literature more completely than does the child holding a comic book. Left alone with “childish things,” the comic book reader is unpoliced and unimproved. You can see it in the glare of resistance they offer, looking out from behind their colourful pages to cast a skeptical glance at the adult question, “what are you reading?” The answer—nothing—is childhood’s mantra of freedom. If the child’s fancy is for mass-market comics, they enter a world shared by millions of other readers who also care passionately, while differing wildly in the sense they make of their favourite stories and characters. The sense that they make is their own, and it will last a lifetime.

As Shawn matured into his gay teenhood, he brought Jughead along with him, a life-saving fantasy in the homophobic world of Calvinist rural Alberta, where Shawn grew up.
A several months ago Shawn came across a complete collection of a circa 1980s “underground comix” called Lgbtq+ Comix. Nothing From intern at DC Comics to underground zine author, to becoming an editor and writer in his own right, Greg Lockard has covered just about every facet of the comics industry in his career. After breaking through with his graphic novel Liebestrasse – a influential and poignant historical lgbtq+ romance, set in 1930s Germany as the Nazis rose to power, created with artist Tim Fish – Lockard has continued to explore LGBTQ+ relationships and identities. Lockard’s most recent work is Trick Pony, with Anna Bird on art. Mixing Western genre staples with psychedelic imagery and fairy tale influences, it’s a tale of fading rodeo star Jimmy Thomas, who takes an almost hallucinogenic horseback journey to his childhood house, hoping to confront the personal demons he’s spent a lifetime running from. In the first part of our interview with Greg, we talk about his own comic book beginning story, the inspirations behind both books, and the magic of comic books as a storytelling format.

Only three issues were published, in 1976, 1979, and 1981.[1] It has been described as the first gay comic.[2][1] It was edited by Larry Fuller. The short-lived comic struggled to uncover an audience. It has been compared to the more successful and leading Gay Comix, which debuted in 1980 and opted for more emotionally nuanced content, as opposed to the "campy erotica" of Gay Heart Throbs.[3] The title is thought to be a reference to Heart Throbs, a romance comic published from 1949 to 1972.[4] The second and third issue were illustrated by Mike Kuchar, who described the artwork in the first issue as "not good".[5] Though already famous as an underground filmmaker, Gay Heart Throbs was Kuchar's first job as an illustrator, and he was contacted for many more jobs involving erotic illustration on the power of his work on the comic.
