Hello friends! Happy Wednesday!
Last week I started scripting the second-to-last chapter of Motherlover… and then went on ahead and scripted the LAST one, too! And I was so worried about wrapping it up! I had all these ideas and worries, and it all just… came out. I even gave myself feels as I wrote it. It’ll be sad to close this book when it’s done after so long… but I’m also really happy with how it’s coming so naturally. Over the weekend I started penciling the next chapter, too. Whew!!

TRANSCRIPT
{This page is largely without dialogue; from above, Imogen tentatively approaches a group of people looking at the table for the LGBTQ center. She peers over their shoulders, but gets intimidated by someone looking at her questioningly and slips away. She spots a carousel of fliers, picks one up with a slight hesitation and reads it intently before being interrupted:)
Stranger (off-panel): Hi! Do you have any questions?
I love this page! The whole “Excited! Well, excited and scared” vibe is so spot on… The Holy Grail light beams around the pamphlet! And her face in the last panel is priceless. 🤔😳😬
😄
Will there be a book? Please, please, please….
Yes! There will be a book through Iron Circus when it’s all done!
The noise of glee I just made. I think I temporarily deafened some nearby wildlife.
Do you have plans to sell a print version of the comic? I’d love to have it on my shelf someday!
I’d like to second this sentiment. 🙂
Yes! The book will be published by Iron Circus when it’s done – very soon!
now i kinda want to know what the pamphlet says
It says “QUEER?” in giant letters, that’s all I need to know.
Honestly, I think my favorite chapter in The Girlfriend Project was when the protag Julia goes to a queer women’s outreach event and gets to meet cool people and experience the community. It does so much to help her accept her sexuality, and I hope this event does similar for Imogen.
Gosh, Imogen is way too cute.
i’m not ready for it to end
