Or, "In which I somehow find a way to make my blog even gayer."
But guys, this is no joke. This is not joke time. I'm here to tell you about The Less Than Epic Adventures of TJ and Amal and how it is the best comic I've found all year. Hands down.
TJ and Amal is basically about two mismatched guys who find themselves taking a cross-country road trip together and strike up a... well. You should read it for yourself. Bear in mind that while most of the comic is safe for work, some of the really important stuff is not. So. Have at it. Meanwhile, I geek out after the jump.
I can't even describe how impressed I am with what creator E.K. Weaver has done with this comic. Well, okay, here's a try. In an effort to sample more LGBTQ comics, I'd been keeping up with a comic blog's Pride Month showcases, and TJ and Amal popped up on my dashboard. Based on the description I was given, I was expecting sexy escapades, or that the probability of sex was at least very high. But by the time I got to that stuff, I had been won over by these sweet, funny, compelling Dorky McDorks and their totally believable friendship. And then they start making out!
If you ever struggle with how to develop unique, believable characters, study how E.K. does it in this comic. She even has an entire chapter that's dialogue-free she's not even trying to keep me from falling in love with her. I'm seriously putting TJ and Amal up there with Achewood. I'm dead serious.
And what's more, right now you can give her money. So you can have a book of this in your hands.
But they've overcome their shyness
