Hola. Since 2022 tends to be going backwards, it's occurred to me that my comic series, Unscripted, could very well be banned from libraries and book stores. All because some of my characters are gay and bisexual.
I could have easily changed the sexual orientation of Felix, and shifted the storyline to management not approving her boyfriend, so they hire someone else for PR. That could have been my out--two men fighting for Felix's love and affection, instead of two women and one man.
But you know what, when I wrote horror and suspense novellas, I never allowed anyone's opinions to change my mind on my storylines, and I definitely won't be allowing anyone's close minded, homophobic views to sway me in comics either.
With this post, I'm sharing two pages of Unscripted #3. Some would call it a sex scene, but I prefer to call it a sensual scene. I purposefully chose images and angles to imply what Nora and Felix were doing without getting very explicit.
These two pages could be the reason I'm banned from YouTube, Dropbox, and PayPal. Heaven forbid young adults have fun in a comic lol.
It's funny because the night of my King Dolphin TV's interview, they teased me of my art style reminding them of underground comics (comics in the back of Playboy magazine) back in the day. That day I had drew these two pages but hadn't inked anything yet. I should have teased back, but I'm not an erotica storyteller. I don't want that image even though all the Kickstarter comics I see exceeding their funding goals by 1,000 percent are those type of comics.
Keep smiling,
Yawatta Hosby
