Wow, this is almost 20 years old, huh? Goddamn. I first read in the mid 2010s, when I was a baby queer frantically googling “LGBT webcomics” and devouring anything I could find.
I don’t know if you still read comments on here, or ever, but: Kaos Komix was the first time I ever heard of a trans man, or even saw trans people depicted as complex, sympathetic humans. Tom’s Story resonated with me so deeply that I think I cried; I came out as trans two years later. I’m happier in my life than I ever could have imagined ten years ago, and it is, at least in part, thanks to this series. Thank you for making it.
Hmmm interesting start to a seemingly interesting story :3!
