One of the highlights of exhibiting at the Emerald City Comic-Con for me was getting to be a speaker on the Beyond Categories: Non-Binary Sexuality panel!
Randall Kirby, Leia Weathington, Charles “Zan” Christensen, Ellen Forney, Jason Thompson and myself gathered together to discuss having bi/pan/queer sexualities in a monosexual world where both the straights and the gays don’t accept you (or straight up view you as The Enemy) and our experiences with biphobia– all with a healthy dose of dick jokes and wise-crackin’.
The anthology on non-binary sexuality that Zan is putting together through his publishing house, Northwest Press, is titled “Anything That Loves”, look for it in July.
(The video may take a bit longer than normal to load because I accidentally made the file gigantic? Try unselecting “HD” in the bottom right hand corner and also I’m a cartoonist not a video editor sorry I have no idea how to do anything! ;)

Oh dang, thanks to Kenzie for pointing this out to me! I’m very flattered to be included as a queer comic artist to check out :) Sometimes I’m sad about how much biphobia I’ve encountered from the queer community for falling in love with my partner, but I maintain hope that someday these people who are lashing out with intolerance will remember that there’s room in the acronym for those of us who are not monosexual. The B in LGBT doesn’t stand for Bacon ;)
LGBTQ* Comic Artists You May Be Interested In
Erika Moen - artist/writer
Some of Erika’s illustrations/dialogue is NSFW. Please be advised. Also, some of Tumblr has been really harsh about Erika’s marriage to a cisman and her views of queer politics. If you would like to hear some responses to Erika’s work within the comic industry and her feelings about sexuality as it evolves, I highly recommend watching her visit to Yale video below.

Hey guys! This Thursday I am honored to be doing a short reading of my work at Floating World Comics for the No Straight Lines book release party!
WHEN: 6-8pm, Thursday, August 9th
WHERE: Floating World Comics, 400 NW Couch St., Portland, Oregon 97209
WHO: Justin Hall, Robert Triptow, Vaughn Frick, and Erika Moen
FACEBOOK RSVP: Right here!What is Fantagraphics’ No Straight Lines anthology?
Queer cartooning has been one of the most vibrant artistic and countercultural movements of the past 40 years, tackling complex issues of identity and changing social mores with intelligence, humor, and an irreverent imagination. LGBTQ comics have often existed in a parallel universe to the rest of the comics world, and this anthology seeks to address that by shining a well-deserved spotlight on some of the best of this extraordinary body of work.
Hope to see some’a you there!

You guys, my Queer print istwo feet long.
(This is, of course, a print of my Queer comic I posted last week)
I still have a few copies of this print left, if you want to queer up two feet of space on your wall.

Oh my goodness, I’ve been really blown away by the responses to my Queer comic. Seriously, I’ve gotten teared up over the heartfelt emails from my fellow queers who have gone through the same experiences as I have <:) The love and support I’ve received for it mean the fucking world to me.
I’ve also been asked about making the comic available as a print! So, hey! That is a thing now! (For a limited time)
The smallest size I could make it and still retain its legibility was a whopping 8.5” x 24”
That’s, like, two feet long :OSo yeah! That is my update. Uhm, hope ya had a good weekend?
