kaberettHello lovely people!
Dicebox is an amazing ongoing comic that features actual queer people, actual diversity, and fantastic ongoing plot in a speculative fiction environment.
Here's my normal pitch for attempting to get it to sell: the lead couple are a lanky white FAAB genderqueer person, and a fat black woman. They're married. They don't sleep with each other; they are cheerfully and enthusiastically poly. They're itinerant factory workers, one of them with a shady past, IN SPACE.
The art is beautiful. The characters are beautiful. The story, thus far, is beautiful. The world is painstakingly detailed; gender-neutral pronouns are used by default, of everyone, unless gender is relevant.
I really, really like it. A lot.
Jenn Manley Lee, the artist & author, is currently having a rough patch financially - so is offering reduced shipping on pretty much everything from her store, outside the US, up until April 15th.
I am particularly keen on acquiring the poppy pin (or possibly the necklace and poppy t-shirt (poppies are my favourites, and have been for years); the rest of the shop is great too.
If any of you are interested in combining orders, give us a yell and we'll sort something out :-)

Date: 2013-04-13 07:08 pm (UTC)Re poppies - they are not (that I can recall) terribly symbolic of anything in particular, but they are a stylised repeating motif in-universe -- of my favourite flower -- so HOW COULD I NOT, basically. Erm. I appreciate this is possibly not very helpful!
