I’m From Sugarwood Canyon.

NOTE: True stories by gay people from all over, indeed. Emphasis on the “from all over.” This story comes from the imaginative, creative mind of regular IFD art contributor, Brian Ness. He produces a quarterly zine called Kitten Punch, about the goings-on at a theme park/commune for sissies, called Dandyland.

Brian asked a couple months ago if IFD could be the topic of the next issue and I of course told him I’d be honored. After reading it, turns out I’m honored and flattered. I figured it would be a fun way to wrap up the IFD Anniversary Week. Enjoy the story, graphic novel-style, after the jump:

I remember Leslie. Leslie was the kickball and soccer star of Robert Semple Elementary, toughest kid on the playground, and I was her friend. I wasn't tough, I was nerdy. I wouldn't play with the boys in their games of tormenting the girls because the girls were my friends, especially the strong ones. I remember her birthday party. In [...]
