[Image ID: A five page comic framed in pastel colors and drawn in a pencil comic fashion.
Page 1: Two panels framed in pastel blues with a white space beneath them. A cartoon sprite with long hair and pointed, fox-like ears says: "Happy Pride Month from your friendly neighborhood system". This is Wisp, the drawn representation of the artist who made the comic. They have a big smile and flowers surrounding them, depicting their joy. In the next panel, Wisp appears again; this time, they are a talking head. They say: "let's learn together how you can be respectful to queer systems by talking about: pronouns, identity, consent". The last three words are illustrated each in separate speech bubbles outlined with sparkles. Below the first two panels appears an additional nondescript sprite speaking to Wisp, meant to represent the audience. They ask: "but Wisp- what IS a system?". Wisp points their finger matter-of-factly, saying "being a system can mean many different things depending on each individual's experience, but for me, it means there are more people than just me in my body- my alters!"
Page 2: Four panels framed in pastel reds and pinks. At the top of the first two panels is written: "members of the same system sometimes all use the same pronouns". The word "pronouns" is bolder and surrounded with sparkles. It continues: "but not always! Everyone's pronouns could also be unique". A smiley face punctuates this sentence. To illustrate the written concept, a switch between Wisp and another member of the system is drawn. In the first panel, Wisp appears introducing themself to another nondescript sprite. They say: "Hi, I'm Wisp!" while wearing a shirt that reads "they/them". The appearance of the words on the shirt is made more obvious by attention lines. The sprite responds: "Hi!", looking happy. The space between the first and second panel is labeled "switch!" surrounded by action lines. Then in the second panel, a new sprite appears (one of Wisp's alters) who has the same pointed, fox-like ears that Wisp does, but at a different angle. He is drawn with long hair, a jacket with buttons on the front, and sunglasses resting on the top of his head. His expression is tired but friendly. He says: "using he/they today", referring to his pronouns. The nondescript sprite replies: "great!".
The third panel appears directly below the first. At the top is written: "the same goes for names". The word "names" is bolder and outlined by flowers. Below, Wisp is drawn sitting next to a nondescript sprite. "Wisp is my system's group name. But I also have my own", they say. The sprite smiles and responds: "nice". Identical to the first two panels, the fourth panel is next to the third, depicting another switch, which is labeled. A new sprite appears (another one of Wisp's alters) who has the same pointed, fox-like ears that Wisp does, but on top of the hood of a hoodie. They are drawn with shorter hair than Wisp, bangs, and are wearing a hoodie with the hood up, the inside of which is blacked out. They smile and say: "call me Squid today". A nondescript sprite responds: "okay!" with a smile.
Page 3: A single panel page with six different colored frames, corresponding to Wisp and five of their alters. Each person is drawn with at least one corresponding pride flag. At the top of the page, a black text box with white lettering reads: "likewise, identities vary person to person". At the bottom of the page, it continues: "but can also be shared". A smiley face appears at the end of the sentence.
The first colored frame is purple. In it, one of the alters from the previous page is drawn. They are smiling happily and wearing a hoodie with the hood up, the inside of which is blacked out. Above and below them appears the genderfluid, bi, and a variation of the polyamourous pride flag. The second colored frame is light grey. The alter drawn there has short hair and wears a relaxed smile. They appear with the genderblank pride flag below them. The third colored frame is electric blue; inside is Wisp. They are drawn with the trans, bi, and nonbinary flags surrounding them. The fourth colored frame is lime green. The alter drawn there has shoulder length hair and eyelashes. Above and below her appear the aromantic and agender pride flags. The fifth panel is light purple. The alter inside smiles excitedly and wears a mask which obscures half of their face. The mask has two ears, two eyes, and a mouth; it resembles the face of an animal. They are drawn with the catgender and idingender pride flags. Lastly, the sixth panel is rosy pink. In it, one of the alters from the previous page is drawn. He looks tired but friendly. He has sideburns, stubble down his jaw, and wears sunglasses on top of his head. Above and below him appears the trans, bi, and pink triangle pride flags.
Page 4: Two panels framed in pastel yellows. At the top, a note that reads: "and remember! just because one person is out" the word "out" is underlined, and there is a gap before the sentence continues, "doesn't mean everyone is!" Below, in parentheses: "or is comfortable sharing." Beneath this message, several talking heads are drawn, representing Wisp and four of their alters. In the first panel, there are examples of system members who are out and comfortable sharing. Wisp is there and merrily says: "I've known I'm nonbinary for years! I don't mind talking about it!" Beside them, one of the alters from the previous pages is drawn. He wears heart-shaped sunglasses on his head. He says: "I love it when people ask me about my pronouns".
In the second panel, there are examples of system members who are not out or are not comfortable sharing. The first has long, messy hair. They look visibly uncomfortable. They have their eyes closed tight and are sweating comedically. "eeee I'm shy", they say. Next to them is another alter who has long, semi-curly hair. They appear relaxed. They say: "I'm not actually sure about my labels, sorry". Lastly, below them, one of the alters from the previous pages is drawn. They wear a hoodie with the hood up, the inside of which is blacked out. Only the outline of their face can be seen inside, other than a single eye and a gently smiling mouth. "You just met me. That's personal," they say. Below is written an additional message for the audience: "you are not entitled to any system member's info!"
Page 5: Wisp appears one last time, framed by a single pastel blue panel. They wave a progress pride flag in one hand and a disability pride flag in the other. Cartoon flowers surround them. They look overjoyed. Above Wisp, a large speech bubble reads: "when in doubt, just ask! Have a happy pride". This sentence is punctuated with a heart. /.End ID]
