Small Favors...

[fajrdrako]

I read a comic yesterday that I'd never heard of before: Colleen Coover's Small Favors #4, from 2001. How on earth did I miss this one? It's billed as a 'girly porno comic book' but I would think 'romantic sex comedy' is a more accurate description. I picked it up largely because I thought the protagonist Annie looked like Hopey from Love and Rockets, a long-time favourite bi-girl character - and because erotic comics about, by and for girls is pretty much my kind of thing.

The good thing about it: it's cute, it's fun, it's sexy, and it makes a person feel good about girlsex and about life.

The bad thing about it: I was somewhat disappointed that Annie's cute girlfriend, Nibbil, isn't a real girl. She's a... a sort of anthropomorphization of Annie's sexual conscience. Which doesn't fit so well with my own sense of sex fantasy. And, well, it's so very, very cute.
