Liliane, Bi-Dyke!

Ever since Modern Tales began selling banner ad space on the sites and forums, I've made an effort to click on every unfamiliar comic that comes up in rotation. I suck at staying on top of things, so this is the most exposure I get to comics that aren't already MT-associated. Yesterday, I spent an hour reading nearly all of Liliane, Bi-Dyke.

Liliane, a slightly butchy bisexual, has a pretty tough row to hoe. She's attracted, in her own words, to "butchy girls" and "faggy boys," but the butchy girls tend to wind up female-to-male transsexuals, killing her interest, and the faggy boys tend to be... well... fags, and never actually want to date her. Ah well.

The comic's conveniently chopped up into different story arcs, my favorite of which are the agonizing "Dog Park Pickup," and the currently-running "Tips on Passing" for gals who want to pass for guys. But really, read them all. It's some really beautiful cartooning.

Holy cow, she's doing those online now?

I came across a decade old collection of "Lillian" strips in the local used book store (where I get most of my graphic novels) about a month ago. It is good stuff. My fav was when she finds a detached chunk of human flesh in the entrance to her aparment, with no blood or any explaination for how it got there. Naturally, she starts researching how to preserve it.

Glad to see they're onlin now!

Oooh, she's building an online fanbase fast, isn't she? I also saw the ad and clicked on it. I mentioned it in my blog ( http://rocr.xepher.net/weblog/archives/000414.html ), then a few hours later, Joey Manley pointed all the MT'ers to the comic on the MT list.

I also knew the comic from seeing them in print way back when. I'm reading the archives now, and it does rock although some of the shorter stories are a bit obvious.

If people like Spike and me make an effort to notice those ads, that effect should be considered in the value of those ads, by the way.

Damn, I'll have to read these. Thanks for the heads up. After reading "Tips on Passing", I think I'm technically a male. Oops. That "I wanna be faggy!" cat cracks me up.
