Highlight of the morning
ahh thank you!
I love the fourth panel where Andy’s level of FANCY cannot be contained.
That’s one of my fave parts too, actually.
SO FANCY! Andy really loves going out!
fancy crop top!!! A+. thank you for these comics btw, they make my Saturday.
thank you for enjoying them!
love this comic so so much
thank you!
Hahahaha! for a second I thought the bottom of scout’s rainbow was the bottom of the shirt, and they were having some kind of crop top battle!
omg no way would Scout EVER wear a crop top, but also that crop top would be amazing!
“no they’re lying — SEVEN YEARS STRONG” made me laugh out loud in my kitchen.
Omg I went to a mainstream straight club once. It was so exotic. All the men wore the same clothes and all the women had the same haircut and very little clothes. ANNDD when white straight men dance they keep pointin at their crotches. It’s such an an animal mating ritual! Couldn’t stop marveling and laughing.
One time I was at a straight club and I had to go to the bathroom and literally everyone in there had long, straight blonde hair, tiny black dresses and stilettos. I felt really out of place.
I’ll raise you one:
I went to the straight club with a bunch of straight friends, but my glasses were broken, and literally at the shop to get fixed.
Long story short, I struck up random conversation with the girl at the sink next to me, when suddenly my friend who I thought I was talking to the entire time suddenly popped up next to me to wash her hands.
Everybody was literally wearing the same effing thing!
Except for me of course, who was wearing a tank top that said “Girls Only”in glitter (the gayest thing I owned at the time) camouflage Army pants(what even..) and running shoes.
To go clubbing in.
No one clued me in on that dress code..
The other time I went to the same straight club with a bunch of gay friends, I ended up getting super drunk and crying over my unrequited crush on my best friend in a bathroom stall.
I feel like there is a moral in this somewhere..
all of these stories are SO GOOD!
There’s very little more hilarious than how seriously straight white dudes take themselves when they’re dancing terribly haha.
“it will be good for me to get out of my queer bubble” is like the mantra i repeat to myself over and over and over every time i go anywhere terrible, which is mostly everywhere. “this is good! i’m getting culture! mainstream culture! i’m communing with normal people!”
ANYHOW LOVE THIS
and totally would be the one saying it was our anniversary to get free drinks
I lie about dating my queer friends at straight places all the time. Because people are assuming it anyway.
“If we’re going to this straight club, I’m going to need to look a lot gayer.”
The struggle is real.
Haha. Yes. I say (and do) this each time, because my friends mostly like going to straight bars.
Accurate.
Sometimes I forget that the rest of the world isn’t queer.
This comic rulezzzz
I forget ALL the time!
Andy is who I want to be. Scout is who I am.
So real
Tee hee!
Andy is for sure my crop top role model. I’m getting there, just need more with flagrantly queer mottos.
i like how it had a happy ending whilst also exploring feelings.
I laughed so hard at “I’m going to need to look a lot gayer.”
