Every month for over 7 years, I've created and published a new original comic for my Monthly Mailings supporters on Patreon. I've been collecting some of my favorites for wider release, in little boxes topped with their own unique, original comic (made using custom panel-shaped stamps). Maybe they're pretty cool?

This box is Monthly Comics Collection #2! 6 mini comics, where each is sort of an experiment within a concept! Think of a poem or an art show in zine form. Comics included:

Lost in Bed, a poem comic about having chronic illness and trying to find rest.

whole/part, an abstract comic, filled with half held meanings.

In a Crowd, a poem about the experience of being surrounded by countless strangers, catching tiny glimpses into their lives.

On the Outside, a character study of a character having trouble giving up control, juxtaposed with abstract art.

Scanner Play 3, a poem featuring figure drawings moved in the scanner to create wavy, off kilter shapes.

Action Based Storytelling juxtaposes ideas of how narratives should work with the very inactive life of a disabled, chronically ill person.

[VD: Comics, zines, and anthologies by Kimball and Laurel cover a dark table. K (pale hands, orange nails) and L (smaller pale hands) leaf through 8 comics/zines and 2 anthologies. End VD]

My partner @earnestattempts (Kimball Anderson) and I (Laurel Lynn Leake) are queer and disabled comics creators, and we want to share our work with you!

We made a short video showing off our weird artsy comics, and talking about stories that honor marginalized lives as inherently meaningful. Also about committing to disability justice and making more of our work free and accessible! To that end, we're offering some limited discounted slots for the pricier tiers too.

🌿 Kimball &/or Laurel Posts Tier: Never miss either of our behind-the-scenes posts, unless you only like one of us! We don't mind :P You also get access to an ever-increasingly captioned archive.

💭 Counterintuitive Releases: We mail you 4-6 printed comics every year, and share digital releases with you first. Plus posts!

📮 Monthly Mailers: Kimball sends you an exclusive experimental zine in the mail every month, plus you get the Counterintuitive Releases.

Thanks for reading/watching! 🧡 Longer vid description under the cut.

[Longer VD: Comic books cover a dark table, while Kimball (pale hands, orange nails) and Laurel (smaller pale hands) point to their own names. They both do a silly finger wiggle as their voiceover introduces “Counterintuitive Comics”. L leafs through “Me Me Me”, where a noodle-armed Poly Morphous sobs against lush watercolors. K shows "Unfolding", a large greyscale comic featuring paper folded to reveal text and paintings. L flips through roughly sketched diagrams in her “Super Secret Mock-up COVID-19 info zine”. K shows “Holding Out”: Social Security letters, wobbly colored pencil forms resting in bed. L opens metallic “Suspension” to show scifi trappings and character focus. K pages through small, wide zine “Winter”, with a character walking in darkness. L opens artsy risograph-blue “L3no2”: comics about anxiety and depression paired with scrawled, smeared text. K opens anthology “CBA: Uncomics” to their section: broken pencil panels and halting words floating over digital, painterly textures. Then L’s: colored pencil and marker abstractions of magazine layouts melting into unparsable forms. L opens K’s anthology “Inaction Comics” to K’s pages: soft digital figures seeking reassurance and reclining on a couch. A sharp-toothed watercolor version of L writhes in self-hatred on her pages. Finally L flips through “Poly Morphous #5: Sick of Being Sick” (mini with teal cover, pink pages, pencilled comics). She makes a heart shape with her hands. End VD.]

This is our first time figuring out video descriptions - we welcome feedback!

"What If it was This Way" is an experimental, Twilight Zone online comic available at Global Comix https://globalcomix.com/c/what-if-it-was-this-way "Manny always dreamed of being a highly successful writer but after 20 years, he still hasn't reached his goal yet and is frustrated. One day, he meets himself. But this aspect of himself is a very successful writer. Depressed, Manny makes a decision about his life until he meets another aspect of himself and makes Manny realize maybe his life isn't as bad as he thinks it is."
