The X-Men Made Me Gay - comic by MeFi's own The Whelk.

Via mefi projects, previous comics from the same author include this tasty booze recipe.

Loved the comic, but I was even happier to rediscover The Whelk's other piece on that site, Hot New Trends for 2015. Hooray for WizardGoth!

Love this! I had a similar road to self-awareness through the Animorphs books. I especially identified with Tobias, who was stuck in his red-tailed hawk morph (semi-)permanently and learned to love being a bird first, human second.

Wait 'til he sees Channing Tatum as the Mermaid.

Whelk, want to go see that together?

Good stuff! Shades of Steve Berry's "Holy Hormones! How Batman and Robin Made Me Gay" article from the 80s, which doesn't seem to be online.

Did we discuss Steven Universe Made Me Gay outside of a link on FanFare?

I am shocked, shocked I tell you...that the Whelk is that fucking young!

Hooray for WizardGoth!

I really liked Dazzle Camo, coz I've been wondering just recently why dazzle hasn't made its way into fashion nearly as much as it could.

Also: Mulder in the Speedo that launched a thousand fanfics is pure gold.

Oh my.

I thought Dazzle camo had been a thing since at least 1982.

Back in 2012, Dale Lazarov (writer of various gay erotic comics and editor of Gutterfags [Mefi Projects]) put together the NSFW presentation Comics Made Me Gay for the Toronto Comics Art Festival.

By the way, FlameCon queer comics convention in NYC is coming up this weekend, August 20th and 21st. Dale will be there. Not sure if The Whelk will be.

If any MeFites are going to FlameCon, please try to say hi to Sophie Campbell for me; I'm a huge fan of hers and I'd probably go if it were anywhere in the Midwest.

My long-held contention that Marlo Thomas made me gay seems less cool, somehow.

Dammit.

That was fun. And, as a bonus, I now have a name for the barrista whose head cocks to one side seemingly from the weight of his multiple piercings: Swiss Army Ear. Thanks for posting!!!!!
