This is one of my favorite comics in a long time! It reminds me a lot of Dykes To Watch Out For for the millenenial generation. The characters are so vivid and three dimensional! And it touches on issues of gender, sex, and emotional health without being preachy. A very fun read!

This is such a funny comic bind-up! It consists of mini-comics surrounding best friends and roommates Scout and Andy and their queer friends. Aside from it being hilarious, it doesn't shy away from serious topics and feelings. I really enjoyed it, as it was a quick and light read for the most part, but also very validating. I loved how it was centered mostly around friendship and not romance, and the characters were entirely different from each other.

CWs: homophobia, transphobia, misgendering

I'd read a few of these comics before on Autostraddle.com but hadn't really followed who everyone was. I really enjoyed reading a collection of the comics, getting to know all the characters and following all their (mis)adventures.

When I "made a wish" for this comic book, I didn't really know what I was getting into. I read queer, I loved the cover, and that was it for me. I was sold!

Then my wish got granted and, wow, I was in for a crazy ride. I know ver few people who are trans, since I go to my town's lgbt community center, but since I'm very introverted, and usually spend my days at home after work and on the weekends, I don't really know any of them for real. We talked, we played, we went to prides together, but that was it.

Grease Bats gave me a little insight of what maybe I could've learned if I wasn't so afraid of going out and meet new people. Being misgendered sounds awful, and I wouldn't wish it on anyone. With all the sadness Andy clearly deals with everyday, they are hilarious to be with, all the shenanigans, the billion hookups, the fashion (I'm living for their shirts!!). How can they get 7 new boyfriends after a bachelorette party? I'm impressed!

And Scout, super shy, unable to date, forever single. She's so relatable! So so relatable. But if I have to think about it, I think I relate the most to Ari: Alone Saturdays and Sundays of Solitude are my jam!

Grease Bats is really fun, raw, and life! You should read it as soon as it's released!

This is one of the best comics I have read in a while and it made me feel like a young queer punk again. Archie Bongiovanni has crafted a fantastic cast of characters who feel so familiar it is sometimes spooky. I can see why it has been compared with Dykes To Watch Out For--it portrays a queer community that, for someone like me who grew up in small Southern cities, I can only wish I grew up in. Required LGBTQIA reading.

Guys, I really wanted to love this one. It's so freaking important to have queer representation across all lit genres. But alas, I wasn't super jazzed. This comic compilation about two friends navigating the difficulties of life off the gender binary should have been a homerun for me. But honestly, I think it is way too long and reads way too slow. Also, the narrative is patchy and jumps around which I don't think short comics support very well when trying to keep a reader engaged. I wanted to love it. I really did.

Cute comic about two people's (and their friend's) queer experiences and lives. It had a little too much angst for me, but maybe that is a pretty accurate portrayal of how it feels to be queer in today's society.

Fresh and decidedly old fashioned at the same time. Takes the century-old format of a newspaper strip and applies it to 20-something queer angst. Also, worth the read for Andy’s t-shirt slogans alone (“Yes Today Satan” might be my favorite).

I absolutely loved this comic and I think it’s a great insight into a queer family. I went in thinking it was a teen title but I think it’s for millennials and gen x folks. I hope it gets lots of attention and readers from adults.

I was so sad when this ended! I felt like I was hanging out with my friends the whole time I was reading it. Sometimes when I read queer books, I feel like bi characters get left behind so it was very nice to have such a great bi character in this book for me to relate to. I loved all the individual characters but Scout was my favorite. I loved the relationship that all of the characters had with each other and how they just seemed so respectful and loving. And if there ever was an issue they would talk about it (with much griping from Andy about ~feelings~) and work it out. Also, I loved all the Halloween parts because that is my favorite holiday as well! If you are any shade of queer there will be a character in here for you somewhere. I really feel like everyone is well represented in this comic. Highly recommend this!

I loved this! This book is a collection of strips about the life of Andy and their friend Scout. Andy is genderqueer and trying to live the best possible queer life - amidst angst and confusion and all of that good stuff. Scout is all about feelings and being queer, and living life ... and these two are AMAZING.

Archie Bongiovanni has captured a little corner of the queer world that made me laugh, nod enthusiastically, roll my eyes and feel a little teary. I'm not exaggerating. There's a LOT in this small book and I know it's one perspective on living in the world when you're not quite like everyone you see all the time. But ... I get that ... and it's important to be able to see yourself on a page.

The art is great, fresh and hilarious - make sure you check out the t-shirts - and this book is going to be a balm for the soul of anyone who lives in the real world!

Thank you Archie Bongiovanni for stories for the "rest of us". :D

A really cute coffee table book that I flipped through easily! The art style was quirky and fun and each "episode" felt alive! Although I do wish the blurb of this was clearer because I wasn't expecting short tales and I really wanted more from Andy and Scout. Overall, a really cute and very queer read that I will recommend to people who enjoy visual art with an LGBTQ+ hook!

This is a sweet comic. I am sure it will resonate even more with people from that age group. The characters are young 20 something queers making their way in this world.. Enjoyable rrad.
