Every time you post a comic it’s like getting a slap in the face and then immediately a kiss on the forehead. Thanks for letting me know I’m not alone.
My youngest child (is there a gender neutral noun for son/daughter? We tend to use a made-up Norwegian word which means something like "snoogums", just because it's a nice word) is on this journey. They're 12 and will have an easier time of it than you've had, partly because you've been there to help them see that it's OK. She-Ra and Lumberjanes are huge, safe pieces of comfort to them on their journey and it has also helped the rest of my family (where I'm the only non-queer person, it turns out) tremendously. We owe you so much. Thank you for your honesty, wrapped in amazing art. For a guy pushing 50 I've been a good dad and husband to my wonderful, unusual family, but there's so much to learn, so much to simply get used to. It would have been a lot harder without you. All the love.
