The 40 Years of Comics Project - Day 1058: Saucy Little Tart, February 1997 (Eek! It's a Naughty Week! Day 1)

I read one of Molly Kiely's graphic novels a while back for the project, and I was pretty positive about her particular brand of erotica. It's fun and happy, and deals not just with the bodies of sex but the emotions of sex as well. And today's comic is no exception. In fact, it goes even further into sex positivity and inclusivity. As far as I can tell, this series is the story of twin sisters, one of whom is a professional dominatrix and one of whom is queer. That's actually about all I know about them. Oh, and they like to have sex. Not, I'm assuming, with each other, but definitely with other people.

What's really lovely about this comic is that there's some excellent gender queering. You've got a sub male, a lesbian who lets herself experiment, and an object of desire who turns out to be something quite different than expected. And there's no hate or shock or derision, just people enjoying each others' intimate company.

Sounds nice.

To be continued.
