Kody is Over

Kody, they/he, makes the queer bummer of a webcomic, KEEPING TIME

[kodyisover]

PREMIERING APRIL 23RD, 2024

In the mid-2000s, Daniel returns to his hometown for the first time since his twin sister, Alex, died. Resigned to living his life in the colorless grief he’s accustomed to, he is unprepared for his estranged friend and former bandmate, Denver, to burst back into his life. Denver convinces Daniel to rejoin the band, and the act of creating music together brings them closer than they've ever been. Just as their band seems headed for brighter future, Denver and Daniel realize falling in love in the scar that Alex left behind might prove to be their undoing.

Keeping Time is a queer, adult webcomic that's a bummer of a romance between two bandmates who fall in love. If you like deeply flawed, not-at-all wholesome characters, then I might be cooking up something you like!!

🎸 Launching publicly on April 23rd at keepingtimecomic.com 🎸 If you can't wait, you can read ahead of its release on Patreon!

Daniel may be having a terrible time here, but I, on the other hand, am over the moon.

I cannot believe I get to announce... Keeping Time has been nominated for an Eisner Award!!

This is BEYOND my wildest dreams. I genuinely never envisioned in my comics career that I would work on a project that would get enough recognition to be considered for an Eisner, let alone my own solo venture. Thank you so, so much to this year's Eisner judges for this recognition.

Voting in the Eisners is limited to industry professionals and voter registration in this year's awards has ended. But if you are able to vote in the Eisners, are currently reading this, and feel so inclined, I would be so, so humbled if you'd consider voting for Keeping Time for Best Webcomic.

Relatedly, there is a petition collecting signatures right now to codify an anti-AI stance in future Eisner eligibility and that's something I strongly believe in. Anyone can sign the petition, so if you want to help out comics folks take a stance against AI in the highest industry recognition that currently exists, please sign here: No AI at the Eisners.

If you were the only living child of parents going through a contentious divorce while you're also harboring complicated feelings for the charismatic guitarist of the band you just rejoined, you'd probably feel this way too

Daniel moved back home willingly against his will (diaspora kids know), rejoined his old band (the guitarist basically proposed to him about it), & is finally enjoying some time to himself. So this is the perfect time for him to be doomed by the narrative, right?

One of the things that's most rewarding about telling a story where the present flows forward but the flashbacks happen reverse chronologically is the joy readers get from seeing things come together.

Maybe there's something here about Denver's anger & how it burns him as much as it burns everything around him... Maybe this queer slow burn band romance comic has been a trans dude opining on masculinity all along..

Y'all for real please do these. Even if you're certain your posture doesn't suck. One day you will wake up with impinged shoulder pain like I did and let me tell you it fucking HURTS. Do these exercises even just once a week and it will make such a difference. Especially my fellow creatives out there, stop shrimping over your work and go do these right now. RIGHT NOW.

Stef is willing to give this new singer a shot. As long as he doesn't do something like start a complicated intra-band romance with the straight* guitarist he's had a crush on since high school, I'm sure it'll all work out
