Jamie’s sexuality is complicated - she struggles with pinning down the nuances of exactly what she’s into, and hesitates over all the terms her friends suggest to sum it up. And…stop just short of sex, because Erin’s on her own little arc of self-discovery, with “asexual” somewhere at the end. Especially after one instance of f/f experimentation, where they part as friends but it doesn’t rock her world. And then there’s Jamie, who identifies as straight for the first few years of the strip. Mostly-realistic (there’s a talking cactus thrown in) stories about a bunch of struggling twentysomething artists/retail workers.Ī lot of the cast is straight, notably Hazel, but there are a couple of lesbians in their friend circle from the beginning - like Thea, who gets married over the course of the strip. Slice of life adventures of best friends gregarious Jamie and cynical Hazel.Ĭomedy, complete (but currently doing full-color reruns of the original B&W strips).

A lot of webcomics aren’t long enough or romance-focused enough to give the characters multiple love interests, and there’s not always an organic way to have people just announce their preferences - especially in fantasy universes where words like “bisexual” don’t exist.
