Robin
page sixteen of etiolated. begins with words. that's what. now who: sexuality - sexual orientation, as in straight (heterosexual) or bi (bisexual). My third boyfriend opened our relationship. i learned i am attracted to all genders and bodies. a large illustration with forced perspective from someone lying down, showing a figure with their fingers inside the first person. beyond the bed are two more figures, watching. an open closet and a shaft window are visible in the rear wall. the words continue. he and i spent time with a woman he met at work who appeared uncannily similar to me. (thanks for the tea, love). these words are said by robin on the sofa, still talking to another figure on the sofa in front of the window. a third person stands at the end of the panel, presumably having brought mugs of tea. second to last panel reads - until i shaved my head. a person with curly hair and beard says "i didn't sign up for this" to a person with breasts and a shaved head. The last panel says - then the woman and i spent time with each other. two figures cuddle in a tangle on a fainting couch.
