Crowdsourcing this one because I'm confused. So I think this is in Rockford IL because that's the only place these roads converge, except that's like, at least 2 hours out of the way for them? So the implication would be that they've already been going the wrong way at this point, like they went north instead of south on 39 (taking 39 would have been a weird choice in the first place but I digress), but the sun is in their faces in the afternoon in the previous scene implying they're going southwest and in the right direction. At least from what I understand. Chat help me where are they going. I have to be misunderstanding at least some of this

Drop Out by Gray Folie 🐱

Trans rep: 9/10

General enjoyment: 10/10

Age rating: 16+

Oh my. Okay im going to start off with a really big content warning, this comic doesn’t just reference topics of suicide, depression, and trauma, but instead revolves around them for the entire length of the story. Honestly reading this comic made me consider a lot of my own stuff, especially relating to growing up queer, and had an intense emotional impact on me (i.e. i cried a bunch).

The story follows Lola, who is nonbinary, and Sugar, who is a girl but also describes some past conflict with her gender. The two are in a relationship and decide to do a joint suicide by jumping at the Grand Canyon. Most of the story takes place during the road trip they take to get to the Canyon, during which they talk through their trauma and personal reasons for wanting to die.

Its a really intense and emotional story, but also a really important read because of the deep insights it gives into the real struggles of life, especially for trans people. Arguably the trans rep isnt super front and center to the story, so I cant give it a 10, but when it is discussed its done in a really tactful and realistic way. Sometimes its easy to read comics about trans people and think its all cute anime girls in spinny skirts (which it definitely is sometimes) but there is also a dark side to being trans that cannot be ignored.
