There are some really funny moments, and some genuinely touching ones. But, besides the great artwork and flawless execution, this comic is really, really charming. I didn’t think I’d particularly like TJ and Amal, since I’m a straight lady who doesn’t go for yaoi stuff, and I also don’t go for sex scenes of any orientation. (Can a lady write that story, too? I mean, I assume a woman could write a story about two gay guys, but since I am neither gay nor a guy, maybe I’m not qualified to make that judgment.) The reason I thought this was that the story deals with two gay guys – free spirit TJ and just-out-of-the-closet Amal. My exact reaction was: “WHAT THE F– it’s a woman? I thought it was a man!” Just a week ago I discovered that the author & artist, E.K. Way after I bookmarked it, I somehow found my way to the TJ and Amal comic and started reading. I started reading TJ and Amal because I’d come across the author’s Cowboy Bebop page, Somewhere Down the Crazy River (which coincidentally has a photo of Bette Davis on it!). (NSFW warnings are in the comic’s drop-down menu.) First off, I must warn you that The Less-than-Epic Adventures of TJ and Amal is not safe for work.
