Associated Student Bodies #2
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join free"Chrysalis" in Associated Student Bodies #2 (1998) delivers a quiet, heartfelt moment of connection and courage, anchored by Daniel’s emotional journey from isolation to participation. Written by Lance Rund and illustrated by Chris McKinley, the story captures a tender turning point as Daniel finds his voice through the support of friends and the unexpected invitation to join Roy’s pride parade march. Terrie Smith’s cover art beautifully mirrors the issue’s themes of identity and belonging.
In "Chrysalis," Daniel’s quiet struggle with self-acceptance unfolds in the everyday rhythms of school and friendship, set against a world where anthropomorphic animals navigate their own emotional landscapes. When a sudden moment of connection with Roy, a bold lion from the pride parade, nudges Daniel toward courage, the story finds warmth in small acts of solidarity and the quiet power of being seen.
In "Peeping Bandit," Ricky's quiet jealousy of Steven’s new girlfriend—whose name may be Jennifer—drives him to spy on them from a tree, only to lose his balance and tumble down, landing unexpectedly in the arms of Tiny. A moment of awkward tension unfolds in this short, character-driven drama from *Associated Student Bodies #2*, where emotions run high and the smallest misstep can lead to an unspoken connection.
In "Coyote Rose," Scratch returns to town with a quiet hope, his music a mix of memory and renewal. Playing at The Stonewall Bistro, he finds unexpected warmth in the audience—Daniel and Marcus watching, their presence a quiet echo of what once was. With a shift from sorrow to song, he finishes the set with a lighter heart, leaving behind more than just music.
