/coq/ I just finished this and seriously can't recommend it highly enough to anyone who likes both comic books and the homosex.My only regret is that "escapist the hedgehog" currently brings up zero results on DeviantArt
so post some pages
okay, so before i potentially waste time reading this i want to know, is it actually gay or just subtext gay? because i'm getting pretty sick of subtext. otherwise it looks interesting.
>>55668 Wondering this too. Sometimes I get sick of knowing that no matter how much chemistry there is between two characters, it'll never actually happen. Fuck that.
>>55668Actual gay.
Holy shit, this thing won the Pulitzer Prize. To the library!
michael chabon is the tobias funke of popular literary fiction
>>55718i mean this with the greatest affection.
>>55718Him?
I'm pretty, pret-tay sure that the world has Chabon fanboydom to thank for canon gay popping up in everything Brian K. Vaughan does, bless his bald, Kermit-voiced soul.
I should really get over my dislike of Ayelet Waldman and read her husband's books.
If you like Chabon and you leave your slash goggles on 24/7, you will love Mysteries of Pittsburgh.
>>55749i love him as a writer and i love her as a recurring villain on gawker, quality power couple imo
needs more pages from the comic, this is an image board not a text only board.
>>55771Well it was just a novel.There was a meta spinoff comic based on the comic book-within-the-book, but personally I never investigated it
yes, anon confirms, this is the best book ever.a friend rec'd it to me without telling me of the gay and when i finally came across it, i was oh-so-pleasantly surprised.
>>55731I'd never actually heard Vaughan's voice before, so I youtube'd it and HOLY SHIT HAHAHAHAHAPerfect matchsage for no contrib yada yada
>>55755i don't think there are any slash goggles required to enjoy that...? i mean there's autobiographical crying buttsex, he's probably writing implausible self-insert inception slash as i type
>>56000haha, it's more that I see the gay everywhere, and rarely have it validated. Thanks to the "Well, I tried to be gay but it didn't work, alas" at the beginning I was not expecting anything to actually happen, so it was rather pleasing.
it JUST SO HAPPENS I had this sitting around on my harddrive. Enjoy, anons.
brb going to the library.
>>56309best euphemism for fapping.
>>56324a hee heeAt one point they were going to make this into an Oscar bait movie directed by what's his face from The Reader, with I think Jude Law, Tobey Maguire, and Natalie Portman. Which would have been terrible but probably spawned a lot of incest fanfic
>>55749she's the jessi slaughter of this parenting message board my sister readsoh, the internet!
