Maria walks through a crowd. People say things like, “excuse me, sir.†“What’s up, man?†and “Yo, dude!â€
MARIA: Uh, Sam? I’m feeling kind of uncomfortable here. Do you wanna maybe come hang at my apartment for a while?
SAM: Oh, well… I sort of just met someone, and we were hitting it off really well, so I said I’d be around here for a while…
MARIA: Oh. Ok.
SAM: Sorry. Wren’s going with you though, right? She’ll probably love an excuse to get out of here.
MARIA: I can’t find her anywhere. I guess she probably went home. She was pretty miserable.
Eeeeegghhhhhh this highlights why I feel really uncomfortable at drag events. (Or why I would be if I ever went to them. Basically I feel excluded so I don’t bother going. :P)
And thanks for adding the trigger warning on twitter. ^_^
I’m not much of a commenter (more of a lurker) in general, but I just had to stop by to say that I LOVE this comic. I found it last week and have been checking for updates like…twice a day. I suppose that’s all I had to say. uh…keep doin’ you, champ! thanks for giving us this.
And oh, girlfriend, I have so been there. “So, you came to drag ball in a dress? Why didn’t you come in drag?” SAD. FACE.
I would hug you, Maria, but sadly you are fictional.
@ Dusty Halls,
Wren and Candice are on a break! It doesn’t count if it’s on a break! (I thought if I said it maybe, just this once, it might actually become true.)
I mitigated this problem by performing in a drag show and singing the song I’m Not a Fucking Drag Queen from Better than Chocolate. I kinda shocked the hostess at first, but then she got what the song was about and was cool.

Oh no, Maria! This is…angry-making, but mostly sad-causing. But with anger.
But yay Wren?
Nooo! Go with her! HP can owl you!

At first I was like
“… ”
then I was all
“OMG!!!!!”
then I was all
“but… Candice…”
Don’t do it, Wren!!
Maria! You are breaking my heart! 🙁

I just noticed that Nhi is grabbing Wren’s tie! A quite sexy detail, as I am a fan of tie grabbing.
I love the little things in this comic.
