Well, it's really Tuesday, but the comic says Monday. I wonder if/when she's going to tell her friend that she's trans. I guess she's worried about losing her oldest friend, but he doesn't seem like the kind of guy who would do that. I'm also wondering what Zoe saw in the last frame. Did someone walk into her room?

I think she's just taking in the conversation. Anyways good show, I like to hear more of J-five. And condolences for Zoe, I imagine these matters among transpeople are...
... I think my imagination shut itself down protectively. |

Not really related to the comic's content, but I do like the varied line width on Zoe in the last panel

All with the inking pens. I just go over some of my lines twice now.
Now that I'm actually in school for art, I've got professors hounding me about my poor line quality, so I've been trying to be more mindful of it with the comic, since that's my main form of practice. And on another note: What? Only three people have read this strip and feel it's worthy of comment? I actually like this one, despite the fact that its the reason I only got four hours of sleep last night. |

My only gripe is that I had to blow the image up to the size of my entire screen to be able to read it. Not sure if that's saying anything about Erin's opus or my eyesight.
When is Zoe gonna drop the bomb on James? How about she gets a webcam in her room. A picture is worth a thousand cluster bombs. -- Cathy344 Normals are so weird.

Yes, this is a little bit on the small side, unless it's my eyes as well. Is this the first time we've ever seen James, or at least a part of him?
Still, like I said before, Zoe just wouldn't have this worry over here. The main concern with a prom would be that Eric would get so drunk he throws up and passes out. Or break a load of bottles and glasses out of the back of the hall, then smash a statue. What fun we have here. Maybe there's potential for an English spinoff? If they can go to outer space, crossing the Atlantic would be a doddle. Hi there. I want to talk to you about ducts.

To Mock's prom post:
And don't you love it when that stuff happens at the high school prom rather than sixth form or college proms ? I'm just glad I was at the bar when one of the people on my table started throwing up everywhere. And they managed to clean it all up before I got back, lucky or what? ___

Zo really, really ought to tell JJJJJ about her new ... her-ness.
Stig Hemmer, at your disservice.

Is it just me, or did it sound like J^5 wants Zoe, too? Especially after she shouted out her virginity. .
And drinking at a Junior Prom? Huh. |

To Erin: Sometimes, I don't have something to say. Otherwise, my post count would be well over 2000.
To Sarah: Why is that not the first time I've heard that story? And why is it I don't think it'll be the last? --
The worst crime you can commit against another human is to make them think. |

Because people are destined to get drunk, and it's inevitable that someone's gonna be at the bar while they throw up.

I do like this comic, especially the different angles of Zoe using the computer. Many comics use the same old sideways "looking at the computer" and use pretty much the same picture with varying character expressions.
I liked the shot of Zoe looking at her computer, where we can see the desktop, and I think a shot from the opposite angle, looking upward with computer light glowing on her face would have worked just as effectively (but that's been done). So now we know what Zoe has on her desktop.. |

I think that is suppost to be JJJJJ and his desktop.

Yes, it is JJJJJJ. That's why the hair and the monitor and the stuff around the computer are completely different.

I was about to say that. Beat me to it.
Am I right in assuming JJJJJ's in Texas? I've long forgotten the backstory to JJJJJ, if there is one. |

Im glad that youve cleared up whether or not Zoe knows that shes had an effect on Eric, before I was wondering if she was oblivious to the fact she broke his brain. Also, I loved the last frame, no idea why though. |

Sorry Erin, but I figured you decided to just take a break for monday, and actually came onto the website not expecting a new comic, but rather to check on the forum. Anyway, it is clear that JJJJJ is quite effeminate, which because american culture causes most men to be super masculine, the majority of effeminate men are either transgendered (like myself) in some way, or homosexual. Although not all effeminate american men are TG or Gay, this is for the most part true. So, this is a question for everyone (but it would be great if Erin would answer this, I really doubt she would give away parts of the storyline)... but, do you think that it turn out that we learn that JJJJJ is either TG or gay? I think it would be great if he ended up being TG because they were best freinds all those years, yet didn't realise that the other was TG. Plus it would allow each other to share their experiance with alot more trust than Zoe could with Christine. On an off-topic note, that situation kind of reminds me of me and my best friend. I know I am TG, and hope to start hormones as soon as my minimum 6 months of therapy under the SOC is up (Feb 3rd.), yet never have publically crossdressed (except with one of my friends who is a girl "forced" me to try on girls pants, which I am happy to say that I comfortably fit into a size 5) or come out to more than my mom and phyciastrist because I crave acceptance. My best friend on the other hand, often goes out in drag for fun, usually to Halloween and Christmas parties. He isn't as feminine as me (yet I am more feminine than many girls), but the way he acts makes me think he is TG. I would probably come out to him first of all my friends, and I just have to wonder if he would say anything about himself if I came out. |

Sure, maybe he is trans. And Principal Darc too. And Shay, and Larson's little sister...and even Zoe's dad! Everyone could be trans? Wouldn't that be cool, and so plausible too!
