Episode 5 – You Don’t Think He’s Gay Do You?

Finally…

 

Click on the image to go directly to the new episode, or go to the main page of A Coming Out StoryHere

This one was intended mainly to introduce my circle of friends and add a little to the setting.  I never intended for it to take so damn long to produce…I just kept hemming and hawing about how I wanted to do this one, which is a very repetative sequence of panels, and so I did other things and let it slide for far, far too long.  If I want to finish this thing before I’m 100 I need to be a tad quicker at getting these out.

This one is about a certain blind spot I had in my teen years, that drove some of my friends nuts.  They kept waiting for me to grow up and "get it" and I kept wondering why they often looked at me like I was from another planet.  Little did any of us really understand that I was growing up right on schedule, just on a slightly different course from theirs.  Paradoxically, had I a better understanding of my own homosexuality, I might have had a better understanding of their heterosexuality, and how hormones were jerking them around too, in their way.  And when a guy with a ‘C’ average at best said he was going to go help one of the foxiest honor roll girls in the school with her homework, I might have been able to read between the lines a tad better then I usually did.

    Thank you Willie! Yeah…writing the dialogue for the cartoons I can almost hear those voices from the 1970s again. It’s the way we used to talk back then.
