I finished my new book a couple weeks ago and I'm about to start making new horror comics for Patreon, but I needed a little break from spooky stuff so I made this little personal comic. ☺️

Man, this story hits home. From one millennial homo to another, you nailed it!

Ryan C

1000% relate to this

K-Bar

Okay, my heart.

Sam Dunn

Oh my god I had a lion king sleeping bag as a kid

Beeeee

Feelings!

Dany Monavel

Me with Ranma 1/2 m (I’m bi)

Kim Marie

The Lion King sleeping bag. 😂

Jenny oldenburg

My heart aches for all the little kids who had to say they’re just curious. You are valid ❤️

Maxwell Rosenberg

Wow, yeah… a lot of us have had a moment like this at some point.

Skye Cameron

Aw kind of reminds me of that one Black Mirror episode.

Stormvexed

Cammy is my favorite too, I wanted to be her tho. Ryu naked would probably also be my sexual awakening 😂

Nobi Wolff

Beautiful, and solid 90s aesthetic

Stormvexed

Looking at fan art on a friend's parents work dial up. So relatable.

Jenn

You’re such a good story teller. 🩵

♡ LayLay ♡

I can’t imagine being alive before, like, 2004. Imagine having to wait for ur porn to load HAHAHAHAGJA

Desi

This reminds me of how my Bi awakening were these cute stickers of girls with butterfly wings I would buy from the grocery store! I was so crazy about collecting them but... Felt weird about liking them so much? I ended up hiding them and trying my best not to think about it again until I was in my 20s 😅

Eric Setzke

"It took three full minutes for that image to load", ah man, that takes me back. We'd look up basic pics from DBZ (not even anything racy) and print them. For some reason. We just had them now. I guess so we didn't have to wait for them to load again. I remember I downloaded the trailer to Chrono Cross and had to leave the computer on overnight.

Tony Choi

Oh something cannon spiked in you alright (my main was Sakura, but my heart always went out for Vega)

Grendel456

The good old days of fan art like this. DBZ was my go to

Jenea Ylinen Fredrickson

"Three full minutes..." 💀 I'm having flashbacks to old flash cartoons. 🤣

holyhonedge

Jesus fuck that's relatable

Mark H Brady

Enduring the sound of robots screaming in order to dial in.

Grady McCoy

This is so sweet and relatable.

Jennifer J Hutchins

Never played video games, but I had the same experience watching Zena Warrior Princess.

Jake Spooky

you're gona show us those illustrations, right? ;)

Roxanna

Awwwwwwww 😭💗

Ben Bozovich

That was amazing!! And relatable! :-)

Shalini S

omg iconic!! love the spooky stuff but this is great

Roxanna

People used to just buy them, although watching the same ones probably gets boring

Jordan

This is great! Hope to see more of these (along with more spooky stuff)!

Green

I absolutely had a binder of random print-ups of my favorite various characters and pics

Erica

This was great. It made me miss 1996

Avatar Juan

Aw yes, the great bi awakening. for me it was Full Metal Alchemist when Bradley wore that tight black shirt with the suspenders.

sleepingox

Mine were "and he magically grew muscular" stories. Then one day his hung top buddy showed up.

Carly

Oooooooo new book 👀👀

Mike Stevens

It involved a lot more planning than today's sessions 😂

ay_josh_ko

It's the Simba sleeping bag for me 🔥🔥🔥

mungbean

I had that doona cover on my bed in the 90s in Australia!!! Love this.

kwadamson

I want more like this ☺️🥲

Ari

Curious why you didn’t actually show the NSFW images?

Gwen Smit

Man, I remember being allowed as a kid to go download and print out coloring pages online and it taking aaaaages when I just wanted to color. Ah, nostalgia.

Charlie B Komorebi

This is so cool, would love to see more comics like this 🥰

Eric Setzke

HA! Yeah! I Kept all mine in a folder. My favorite one was some fanart of Samus Aran sitting down with a cup of coffee. Wasn't even like, revealing or anything. Would be neat to find that artwork again.

Kelly Pickard

Thank you so much for sharing. I've enjoyed your work for years (even when the spooky stuff gives me the willies, ha ha), but this was uniquely heartwarming.

Rob V

I am fairly certain that my sister had that simba sleeping bag and it is still some where in my parents' house

Zesty Conversation

The je ne sais quoi of this one…I grew up with websites like these myself &, oddly enough, I was just talking about the awkwardness of figuring out sexuality as a kid/teen & how much I value media that portrays that journey authentically. Good stuff, Adam. Good stuff.

It's Porga

I love this!! You have such a way of capturing nostalgic vibes and making it feel so cozy. This story was very heartwarming 🩷🩷 also super excited for a new book!!!!

MitchellTF

Aw. That's so sweet and cute and I hope you have your sexuality all figured out now!

Tiesha Marie

Cue me and Jessica Rabbit 🐰

Tutimon

Cute. Loved it 🥰

D. Alfonso

Hah, we had that exact bedspread (the shapes one). Lovely comic. 💗

Owen Blacker

I remember seeing you mention the Geocities design on Bluesky and that is just perfect. Love this story

Charlotte Waubke

I guess to not actually sexualize the childhood experience for adults, you know? Like, of course it is about sexuality, but in the childs world, so even though maybe relatable as a memory for some, it is not our world anymore

Yelly

I'm bi, with a preference to women. As a kid, i told my mother i had a crush on Android 17 from DBZ. That was fine. Told her I felt the same about Android 18. Nope, I just admired her. That felt weird to me. I couldn't even look at her on the screen anymore. I'm autistic, and that just made it so difficult to understand. Raised Catholic, being gay was a sin. But I liked both. I didn't know bisexuality was a thing until my teens, but I was so far in the closet by that point Mr Tumnus was even miffed at me. I didn't realise things until I was in my 20's, but thought 'I only have physical crushes on women'. I'd never really came across women who were my 'type'. They were written for men, by men. Then last year (I'm 32) I played Baldur's Gate 3, amd came across Karlach. That changed...a lot. I'd never crushed on a character so hard. My spouse (AMAB) came out as non binary. It all finally make sense now...even if it's a little later on in life.

Chad Evett

This…feels familiar.

Marco Wemekamp

Recognizable! Uncensored version soon? Hahahaha

Pedro Parente

💕💕💕💕 i had a similar experience.

Caroline Lutz

Not you casually dropping the news about finishing your book 😍😍😍 CANNOT WAIT Apart from that, loved this comic! Precious (and a bit weird too, in the way we used to be weird as preteens 😂), very well done, love it!

Ian Wickham

You must defeat Sheng Dong to stand a chance

Helen Hammond

Same. She rocked my world at like 12

Brushfeather

Aww, part of your 🏳️‍🌈 awakening was Ryu? Loved the heck out of him as a kid. But... not like that, lol.

Lindsey

Please take a longer break from horror. I always loved your heart warming and funny comics waaaaay in the day.

Hronn Holmer

awww. that is very sweet. i adore your versatility. sweet childhood and creepy horror!

Josh Johnson

Approximately how many viruses do you think those two images downloaded to that computer? Very cute, had a similar affinity / crush on the red power ranger

Pooja Patel

Awakening! Also I still have that same lion king sleeping bag from childhood.

Theo

You say this isn’t horror, just I see an image listed that’s blankacammy and … that’s definitely horror.

rider.break97

this comic reminds me of when my friends told me about the website naruto xxx dot com and I went on and was disappointed that it was only the girls and naruto's sexy clone jutsu on the site lmaooo

madscipanda

Love this. I definitely had crushes on Chun-Li and Cammy. I remember being really into Princess Leia's gold bikini from a very young age

Joe

Replace Cammy with Psylocke and replace Ryu with Gambit or Cyclops…also Banshee in generation X and that was my childhood 😂

Elisabeth Elvira Alba

This was me and my friend in 8th grade circa 1998 looking at Ranma 1/2 and Tiny Toon (hahahaha) 'fanart' on her family's computer after midnight.

Tiffany Franklin

Very nice! Also I had to share that I had the exact same Simba sleeping bag in the 90's. Lion King merch was prolific.

Patrick Garman

Ha! I remember a similar experience at a friend's house when he showed a group of us his dad's playboy website subscription on the old AOL dial-up. I was kind of uncomfortable with the naked ladies, but didn't really know why until I discovered Playboy online for myself a little while later....

Alex Angelo 🎃

Me as a teen searching “emo boys kissing” on YT but telling myself I def didn’t like boys 😂 _________ Ok so I don’t know when exactly I had my “awakening”. I’m trans ftm, so grew up female. And after an uhm.. slightly spicy sleepover with some girlfriends, I found out I was probably bi. And it really scared me. When I started thinking I was trans at 16, I spend many years being out as a “lesbian” and did everything I could to look and be “masculine”. But I still watched and consumed so much mlm content in secret. (Fanfics, yaoi, googling “boys kissing” etc), and I felt like a perv because of it.. I had so much internalized homo- and transphobia. The thought of being trans was scary enough, but being trans AND gay/queer? That was too much. Finally came out a few years ago as trans and pan after being closeted for close to a decade. Now I’m 1 year and 8 months on T, and can soon celebrate 2 years with my boyfriend. And I’ve never been happier 💕🏳️‍⚧️

Dr_Amuly

I swear I had that exact lion king sleeping bag

inkshark

One of my favorite things about this comic is that it's still horror, but only for people i don't like :D

Queer and Pleasant Banger

I dont remember if I had it or a friend- but for some reason I remember that EXACT lions king sleeping bag

Rachel Perry

I love this one! you are so talented <3 doesn't matter if it's horror or not - if you wrote it, imma read it!!

John M

Aww this was definitely me back in the day ! 😌

Mitchell Johnson

I relate to this so much! I occasionally bring your comics into my therapy sessions, because they help me to express the silent pain I felt growing up.

Laci Tower

Mine was Sailor Moon

Jackie Wu (GeckoKid)

Mine was Chun Li, and Lara Croft! Didn’t want to see those fanart either!

DrinkingGasoline

This is genuinely really sweet. I think this is such a common thing for kids, especially younger kids

Ashe

I had the same reaction the first time I saw Jessica Rabbit 👀 it was like my whole world got bigger and then smaller at the same time, in a good way, though. I figured something out about myself and it felt good.

Amber Davis Art

Fantastic art as always. Truly inspiring

A Rare Bog, A Rattlin' Bog

I have never met a queer person who didn't know it from a very early age. It's just nature.

Nastassja Minson

i didn't know until i was 14, but looking back at my childhood, there were definitely signs that i just didn't recognize

Nicole Zimbardi

I spy Chrono Trigger amongst the games! 👏🏾

Sonny Ly

Ryu and those bushy eye brows just wakes something up in me

Jeffrey

OK, *actually* not horror. I don't know why the assurance that it wasn't horror had me a little bit more on edge. Like you were just gonna be like "Surprise! It was horror the whole time!"

Angela Rose

I love that you included the retro website look.

David O'Neal

I love how pretty much EVERY fighting game is stuffed with incredulously hot men. Ryu and Ken from Street Fighter, Daddy Kano and Jax from Mortal Kombat and God knows how many I used to play arcade mode of Dead or Alive 3 as Jan Lee just to see his ending where at some point he's just flexing before beating up a bunch of bad guys.

Sailorboi88

Van Damme playing Guile in the Street Fighter movie was part of may gaywakening

Alpha100auri

Where's the uncensored? 😭

Jombegu

I'm in this comic in every panel it seems like. Thanks for telling your story and making some of us feel seen in the process!

Yasemin

This is so sweet!

Kyle Michel Sullivan

Loved this one. When I was in 8th grade back in the stone age (before home computers) I used to draw nude women for the boys at school and sell them. made enough to buy cokes and comics and stuff. But at night, I'd sketch nude men for me.

Kyle Michel Sullivan

For me, it was 12, where I knew something was different but I couldn't \figure out what till I was in 10th grade...

India Voerman

lol same but with Disney Princesses in middle school

Khara Gomes

Same but with DBZ characters 😂 Much love for this insightful childhood post, sharing this part of your life just feels so relatable to so many of us. ❤️

Kitty-sune

Fr, when I was a kid I'd play GTA 3 just to drive Missy ((or whatever her name is)) and bring her to an open house. I remember having this feeling in my stomach everytime I'd look at her

Marcus Kaeso

Took me a few weeks to get around to it, but this and the subway comic are the ones that finally made me pledge. Not that I don't love your spooky stuff, but comics like these really hit home for me. <3

Rachel Cannon

It was Sailor Moon for me 😆 Great comic!

The HonestGoth

Side note, I fully had a sleeping bag like that.

Ari

I thought you had posted another comic a couple days ago but now I can’t find it. What happened??

Leelynn Brady

I'm glad you prefaced that it wasn't horror because I was a bit terrified at first lol

Tossumout

Now it's time to post the uncensored versions of Ryu and Cammy

Jarrod Kersey

i think i had that same sleeping bag!!

clever cryptid

I had that sleeping bag and the bedsheet set for Simba too!

MochiCiel

lolll this was DBZ and Sailormoon for me when we were kids lol!

Feline Bimbo

Well, I hate to be a party pooper, but in most of the world the next years in the story is more horrifying than anything Adam drew. I know from experience.

CatAtk

It was Xena princess warrior for me 🙈

Alex Angelo 🎃

Are we ever gonna get those drawings in full resolution? 👀

Andrew Frisina

This hits harder after the recent comic, Adam. Really beautiful. Heavy bisexual vibes.

Keeven Macik

So cute omg!! Please continue this comic!! 😍😍🧡🧡🧡🧡
