1] Hello! Tell us who you are, and what you do.
I’m Josh, and I draw comics, and I run an adult comic site. Aaaaaand that’s about it. The comics are Girly and Doctor Voluptua. The adult site is Slipshine. Together all my comic work helps me eek out a living. Not enough to buy a yacht, but enough to buy a nice pan of lasagna every once in a while.

2] How long have you been working on Girly? What is it about?
Girly is primarily about a cartoon relationship, the one between Otra and Winter. It’s hard to describe it without bringing up Cutewendy, the comic I wrote in the early 00s. Cutewendy was a simple comic I made about two girls, one of whom is the sidekick of the other. It was a simple gag strip where crazy shit happened. Girly is actually the sequel to the comic, taking the concept, while inserting a story, some humanity, and a bit of romance to the mix. In short, it’s about lesbians.

In most of the stories, Winter and Otra live for adventure, searching all over their town for something resembling it, and creating it themselves if they can’t find it. Many other characters muscled their way into the comic over the years, and their stories started and ended. The new chapters are mostly about the two girls returning to their roots, whilst being chased around by a grumpy but hot police officer.
