Moving Right Along… (A Coming Out Story)
Looks like I’ll have the pencils for episode eleven done tonight…if I’m not being distracted by this really cute new neighbor that I have that is. I’d hoped to have them done by Sunday night but it just wasn’t possible. But as long as I can start inking on Wednesday I can have eleven up by the end of this weekend.
I hope those of you reading this series get as many giggles while reading eleven as I’ve had drawing it. This one’s been a lot of fun to draw. It’s about something your gay neighbors go through during adolescence…that period of time when (if you’re a guy, say) you start realizing that you’re looking at other guys in a sexual way and it’s embarrassing and you don’t want to and you keep trying to stop you’re utterly unable to stop. Your eyes just keep straying back to that really cute guy, and then they wander all over his body like a pencil sketching out every line and curve…and you catch yourself doing it and you think ‘stop it’ and you look away and then a few moments later your eyes just start straying right back again… I can laugh about it now, but back then it was very, very irritating…
