Time Management

I realized I was probably aromantic when the idea of dating became a chore rather than a goal.

Single panel comic with the title 'Asexual Candy Hearts.' The candy hearts are in shades of purple and grey. Counter-clockwise from the top they have the following messages in cutesy abbreviated text speak: 'No Thanks,' 'Love Does Not Equal Sex,' 'Ace It,' 'No Fucks Given,' and 'Challenge the Conventional Wisdom of How Relationships are Supposed to Work,' which is a quote from ACE by Angela Chen.

Start a Conversation

This Valentine’s Day, tell your crush you don’t want to have sex with them with a quote from ACE by Angela Chen.

In the first panel, in shades of grey with accents of red, a muppet-esque character dressed like a puritan with a scarlet letter A on her clothes, says, "I don't know about this Scarlet Letter skit, M.C. Are you sure it's a good idea to teach kids about adultery?" She's addressing the artist, a young woman with short hair, wearing a purple shirt with a red A badge, whose hands are on her hips.

The Scarlet Letters

Adultery isn’t the only word beginning with ‘A’ that no one wants to talk about.

In the first panel, in shades of grey, the artist - a young woman with short hair wearing a purple shirt - holds a microphone and appears to be standing in a spotlight in front of a curtain. She says, "When I first came out as asexual, I identified as 'romantic.'"

My Tight Ten

Sometimes, especially after binge-watching The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel, I imagine a career in stand-up comedy.

A multi-panel comic in a single issue, colored in shades of grey with accents of purple. The first panel has a long rectangular frame and shows the artist - a young woman with short hair wearing a purple t-shirt - standing between the silhouettes of two couples, shrugging her shoulders. The narration says, "Most days I don't mind being alone. Though it can get lonely." In the second panel, three versions of the artist are shown from the torso up, with small meters near their heads like in a video game. Instead of measuring health, the bars have a heart at the top. The narration continues, "But every so often I'm struck by this lust...for romance." The first version of the artist is just smiling politely, and the meter is half-full. The second version also has a half-full meter, but she suddenly looks suspicious. The third version is struck by a lightning bolt, causing her hair to stand on end, the meter to max out, and purple hearts to replace her eyes.
