BMZ - Test (4/10) (WIP & PSD)
Added 2023-03-25 17:57:47 +0000 UTCI predict this next set of strips to be a little controversial since getting tested for STDs when going into a long-term relationship is a subject matter some people find touchy and approach very differently. I know that foregoing condoms for PREP is common in the US for example.
I went with this being the main "conflict" of this set of 10 strips because first of all I thought it was funny, second because I rely a bit too much on melodrama when I write any longer story with Boomer and Miles so the conflict coming from a miscommunication is more refreshing, and finally because I personally haven't seen a lot of gay media discuss this particular situation and I figured, fuck it, guess I'll do my take on it.
I tried writing this strip with some shot-reverse shot close up of Boomer and Miles in the second and third panels so it's not just 4 panels of the two of them sitting from the same angle but I don't think the strip works if we don't see both of their facial expressions and reactions.
I might fix Boomer craning his neck into his torso for the public release, it doesn't look very good as it is now.
Comments
I think its a good idea to touch on the subject. Not everyone is fond of condoms but they are necessary. At least if Miles is suggesting to get tested, it might mean he wants to make it more official. But we will see. I look forward to see where the rest of the comic goes. Owo
