Does anyone have any subjects they’d like me to cover over the next few comics? I mostly just ramble away about my own thoughts and experiences, so I’m wondering if anyone has anything they feel I’ve missed etc.

Poly in Pictures
The visual webcomic ramblings of a polyamorous probably-20-something stick person.
Have you ever done a comic on the “one penis policy”?
(Basically some poly men have a rule that their bisexual female partners are only allowed to sleep with women.)
I find the concept pretty funny It might make a good subject. 🙂
There is this one, which is sort of like that? http://www.polyinpictures.com/2011/11/14/113-free/
Breakups
*waggles fingers* Hmmmmmm. Yeeesssss.
Madly in love with one partner yet at the same time devastated by the breakup with another. (Or similar “bipolar emotions” problems).
Family dinners with parents who have more than one partner.
Polyfying movie titles. Asexualifying movie titles.
Heh. A fully-connected triad, with all three people having mental health problems?
Or… not. How about Kink and Poly (D/s dynamics in non-monogamy?)
These all sound rather excellent. I may have to work through them all, one at a time. I already have an idea for the OPP, though I may morph it into the Magical Penis Effect.
Parents who you know would HIT THE ROOF if they knew…despite naming you after the-wife-of-the-man-with-the-many-wives??? (Ok, that’s more than slightly overspecific.)
Genuinely curious about how the stick people handled telling their families though, if it hasn’t been looked at and it isn’t too serious:)
At some point, there should be an explanation of the WKD Measurements System. Or maybe not. o_0
I am unfamiliar. Is it an in-jokey thing or should I google it? 🙂
It’s a ‘some of your friends are nutters’ in-joke anecdote. 🙂
Okay, next time I see you we can discuss! 🙂
Genderfluidity!
*le biased*
Because that’s clearly not discussed enough in this comic. 😉
So I am a mostly cis dude, depending on how you mean it, seeking a triad along with my girlfriend. In my location finding people that might be interested is rather difficult, so we go to OK Cupid. Anyway, there is a person on their who is otherwise a 90% match according to their algorithm who’s first statement is “Cis dudes go away.”
Is it just me that finds this stupid as hell? I am not even sure if I qualify as cis, seeing as I am fairly effeminate for a male, although I am straight, but regardless, what if I just wanted to be friends?
I dunno if that is a comic idea or not, but it was just something I found ridiculous. Needless to say, I ‘went away.’ I am confident I would have no matter what kind of alignment I considered myself.
That is a weird thing. But then, a bunch of cis folk go squick at trans* folk, so perhaps not that weird. But yeah – what’s wrong with friendship?
My definition of cis is “assigned male at birth and identifies as male.” (Femme cis male is totally a thing, in my world.) I’d be interested to hear others’ views, too.
I definitely qualify as cis by your definition, but that makes it weirder to me honestly. So a poly and genderqueer person automatically dismisses anyone that happens to identify with the gender that they were assigned to at birth? I can definitely understand how most cis men would be out the persons purview, but if they understand the designation cis? Yeah. I dunno why this bothers me so much. Hahaha, more fish in the sea, obviously ^_^
How to explain poly to friends. For some people, it’s none of their business; for others, I think they’d be cool with it if they knew and I had creative ways of telling/explaining to them other than, “yes, their both my boyfriend” (or is it, “yes their both my boyfriends”?) and all that. This weekend was choc full of “yes, I’m in a committed relationship with Little Big D and yes, I’m in a committed relationship with Big D”… to friends who are generally very sexually/socially open but who just don’t seem to get this one point.
And how to handle holidays… this is already causing me great amounts of scheduling stress.
Oh, and the “Jealousy is spelled F, E, A, R” picture is the screensaver on my iPhone now! My friends love it and have promised to check you out!
“Oh, and the “Jealousy is spelled F, E, A, R” picture is the screensaver on my iPhone now! My friends love it and have promised to check you out!” – stories like this never fail to make me squee! 😀 Thank you for telling me!
Also, that too is a good idea. It is on The List. 🙂
JAM
IDEA APPROVED
I’m in the odd position of having been raised a poly kid who’s never found anyone flexible enough to be poly with. Of course, it doesn’t help that MY polyfamily kind of melted down horribly… still, it was wonderful when I was working, and I miss it.
I kind of like sex. I also like talking about the sea, eating jam, anarchist politics, printing, reading, I like vast adventures into music, I like poetry and whimsy. CAKE, WASABI, NOODLE PENGUINS! Compared to all these things and more, sex is often a bit naff. Why is it, oh Poly in Pictures readers that when I meet new people and they find out that I’m poly they assume it’s for the vadge action :(. #firstworldangst
One last thing, Poly Tunnels.
Heeeeeeheeeeee! Thank you, kind Mattie. 🙂
Poly Tunnels. You go in one end single, and come out the other with two girlfriends!
So that’ll be bicon, then?
Also: polysyllabic words! my vocabulary, I can use it!
