Hi! I’m stoked to present my thesis comic, If This Be Sin, based on the life of Gladys Bentley. It’s for sale on Gumroad! You can download the 16 page full-color PDF for $2.
Gladys Bentley, was a blues singer, piano player, and drag king who performed bawdy tunes in Harlem nightclubs throughout the 1920s and ’30s. Despite the social obstacles she faced as a black, openly queer woman, her outrageous and energetic act became a mainstay of the Harlem cabaret. In 1952, under the oppressive social conditions of the McCarthy era, Bentley publicly renounced her previous identity and claimed to have found happiness as a feminine housewife.
Gumroad is super simple to use, you just have to enter your credit card number and you’ll be sent a direct download, plus Gumroad will email you a link to re-download it if you ever lose track of the file.
FOR EVERY 100 NOTES, I’LL GIVE AWAY A DIGITAL COMIC TO A RANDOM TUMBLR USER so please share if you can! (Within each 100 notes, only people who reblog are eligible for a free copy.)
Thank you and I hope you enjoy the comic!

Wet Moon is a series of graphic novel chronicling the lives of Cleo Lovedrop and her group of friends as they navigate their way through art school, relationships and mysterious happenings, all set against the backdrop of the mysterious and swampy Deep South.
The representation of queer characters, characters of colour and fat characters is remarkable. Plus, hetereonormativity is refreshingly non-existent! This is a truly a diverse ensemble of well developed characters in a world where sexuality and gender expression is fluid, early 2000s pop culture references are rife and cats have adventures all of their own… I would, of course, recommend it.rec also! gorgeous, gorgeous art.

Is this what I should use as a visual aid when explaining privilege?
Yes.
