Oh Joy Sex Toy @ohjoysextoy.bsky.social · 16d

Happy Bisexual+ Awareness Week! What better way to celebrate than with this comic from our archive? Menthaam knew she was straight until she fell for a boy online- who turned out to be a girl! Clearly, her sexuality required a deeper investigation after that. 1/2

Why Not Both? by Menthaam, published March 22, 2022 on https://www.ohjoysextoy.com/why-not-both-menthaam

PAGE 1
Menthaam depicts herself as a pinky-orange cat-person who wears a big baggy knitted sweater with a white Peter Pan collar poking out around the neck. She sits with a mug in her hand, talking to another blue cat-person who plays on her phone while they both sit in their own easy chairs.

The Friend says confidently, "You know- I have never understood how it's possible to fall for someone of the same sex as me. I just can't imagine dating another girl!"

Menthaam responds, "Oh? There's nothing strange about it."

Her interest piqued, the Friend leans forward, asking incredulously, "Oh yeah? Would you be able to do it?"

Laughing good naturedly, Menthaam shares, "Dude, I'm bi. I've dated both guys and girls!"

"No way!" Exclaims the friend, now a little embarrassed but also curious. "I hope I wasn't rude? But, like I'd love to know more!"

"Sure!" Replies Menthaam. "To be honest it took me a long time to figure out."

Menthaam stands next to a child-like illustration, showing a stick-figure version of Menthaam (labelled "Me") and a blue canine-person (labelled "Boy"). Shrugging, Menthaam explains, "Before puberty, I had no doubts at all! I definitely liked boys!"

Now we see a brown cat-like person with pink hair who is texting with a smitten Menthaam. The narration reads, "And then one day I mutually fell in love for the first time. It was long distance, and I was like, "Wow, what a cool guy!" And only when we met for the first time, I realized I'd been growing feelings-" Here Menthaam and the new person are united, holding hands as they walk.
"FOR A GIRL!" Exclaims Menthaam, seeing her partner for the first time.

Narration: It filled me with doubts and confusion about my sexuality.
Image: Alone, Menthaam unlocks her door while looking thoughtful.
Narration: Coming home and thinking hard, I realized that my feelings remained the same.
Image: She hangs the lesbian pride flag on her wall.
Narration: Being interested only in her, I concluded that I must be a lesbian.

Now back in the sitting room with her friend from the beginning of the story, Menthaam takes a sip of her drink and concludes her story with, "Shortly after, as happens, we broke up."
"Aw yeah- early romance. What happened next" Asks the friend, on the edge of her seat.
"Well..." Menthaam drinks from her mug. "I met some one new, and- it was a guy!"

Sitting beneath her lesbian pride, Menthaam looks up at it in confusion.
Narration: My new found attraction had me in a loop. Maybe I wasn't gay? And what did that mean to who I was?

"Maybe my relationship with that girl was a mistake or mere teenage infatuation?" She asks herself, head in her hands. "What if the attraction to women is simply imposed on me by society? Or maybe relationships with men were a mistake. What if I've been making the wrong choice all this time?"

Menthaam takes the form of a big pink anthropomorphized ball being batted between two blue figures, one labelled "Gay" and the other "Straight".
Narration: I was tormented by doubts for several years.

Narration: Sometimes I felt that I was more attracted to girls, but other times I was more strongly attracted to guys.

Menthaam, back to her cat form, sits on an old-fashioned apothecary scale which wobbles back and forth between the weight of a girl fox and a box fox. "I can't just pick one!" She exclaims.

"For a long time, I shied away from finding a real partner." She shrugs.

I’ve updated a lot of my comix with plexiglas backing boards, so I can see the backs of my collection more often. this issue stopped me in my tracks 😶

😮 oh wow, I had no idea. thanks for sharing this!!

🐾 Pratt the Space Cat 💫 @intenselycasual.bsky.social · Aug 26

honestly, being on Reddit makes me either feel too old to be there, or too left-leaning / too far along in life to agree with most things. you’re right that it’s not all bad, but sometimes I need a hazmat suit to read the comments

👀 👀 someone said “jumpsuit”?

🐾 Pratt the Space Cat 💫 @intenselycasual.bsky.social · Aug 26

I just bagged mine as well. Comic Pro Line’s “life size” bags fit perfectly, but I had to tape some boards together for some structure. 😄 was your copy originally direct to you?

🐾 Pratt the Space Cat 💫 @intenselycasual.bsky.social · Aug 26

agreed! I couldn’t believe it. I found it in a stack of other unprotected copies of CBG, and this was at the bottom, with very minor spine damage 😵‍💫

yet another challenge for a long-time indie publisher. 😞@fantagraphics.bsky.social has given us so much good stuff for decades, and continues to do so. I placed a sizeable order (to Canada, nonetheless!) and I recommend you do, too. support comix and artists! 💛

just wondering if you would ever consider shipping to Canada. I would’ve loved to get the Cherry collection as well
