I liked the characters & their found family dynamic. The themes of pro- queerness, Blackness, and weirdness were lovely to see so joyfully on page. It’s a cute story about creating community, even in the face of pushback from dicks. The art was bright and youthful, and reminded me of the 90s for some reason. I honestly wasn’t quite sure how old the characters were supposed to be (I could have missed context clues tbh). The plot was a little bit stretched thin; it almost felt more like the major touch points of a story, rather than a complete story on its own. But I enjoyed the read, and would recommend
