Gay Comix #5

In "Just Because," a woman simmering with anger over a TV preacher profiting from anti-gay rhetoric finds her perspective shifted when she meets Jo, a lesbian whose quiet resilience and lived experience offer a stark, unexpected contrast to her own frustration. The story unfolds in three intimate pages, capturing a moment of connection and quiet revelation between two women navigating a world that often misunderstands them.

Binnie Blinkers, the perpetually flustered star of her own newspaper strip, spirals into panic when her son comes out—prompting her to call the syndicate for help. In a move straight out of a 1980s sitcom nightmare, she tries to fix the situation by forcing him into a marriage with an older woman, all while clinging to the absurd conventions of her own comic strip world.
