The Archie Wedding We Really Want to See!

Courtesy of the blog Precocious Curmudgeon, here's the Archie Comics wedding we really want to see:

Comix for Chix: Plica

Someone posted some scanlations of the lesbian-themed manga strip Plica over on Scans Daily:

Part 1 (safe for most works)
Part 2 (not safe for most works)

Go read; they're fab.

Update: Sadly, Scans Daily is no more, and the links no longer work :(

Comix for Chix: GirlFuck

So, you're a woman who wants to have sex with another woman, but you've never done it before and aren't sure of the mechanics? Then Erika Moen's instructional comic GirlFuck is for you! She takes a fairly explicit yet light-hearted and sex-positve approach, making lesbian sex very accessible. It's a lot of fun (though not as much fun as actually fucking!) There are several other good comics on her site as well. Take a look!

Yuri!

From Publishers Weekly come the news that a domestic publisher is finally bringing Yuri--lesbian-themed manga--to the U.S.: "Seven Seas Launches Yuri Line"

Seven Seas will publish at least seven yuri titles in 2007; some will be one-shots and others part of a series. Much like yaoi, the popular manga genre focused on male/male relationships, there is a wide variety of yuri available in Japan, says DeAngelis. “From mild content dealing with relationships and romance to those with more mature themes,” he explains. DeAngelis says Seven Seas will focus on strong stories, “then the elements portrayed in the art become secondary. We’re dedicated to leaving the material we license uncensored, so we will be releasing a wide range of yuri aimed at different age groups. That said, we have no intention of releasing outright pornographic material.”

Too bad about the no-pornographic-material bit, but otherwise yay!

Yuri article

On AfterEllen.com, Rebecca Brown has an article about lesbians in manga (Japanese comics): "An Introduction to Yuri Manga and Anime":
