Pride by Erin Ptah
Shaenon: Thank you so much to Erin Ptah for drawing Skin Horse characters at a Pride march, along with Hank and Ada from LR Hale’s The Night Belongs to Us. Erin previously drew this great Oz-themed illustration, which I can’t remember if we’ve posted before:
You folks are the best. Thank you so much, Erin! This is super great!
I can’t figure out who the blonde on their-left-our-right is. But then it took me half a year to figure out Sweetheart was a girl.
It’s Bubbles, the former watercooler in the humanoid drone body who dated Unity at least once if not still? Their continued relationship status is unclear but Unity feels like someone with little regard for monogamy. ¯\_ (ツ)_/¯
Personally I’m unsure who the little dark puffball witch riding with Bubbles is?
Cute regardless
Reading the author comments I realise I was wrong whoops. Fs for credibility. Still hey new webcomic to read.
…aw jeez! TWO new (to me) comics! Thanks a lot!
Yeah, somehow I missed that when I posted, too. Should’a thought of something else funny to say.
One of the cobras (probably the teenage angsty one with a thing for bubbles) in a hat.
Oh, never mind.
It’s part of a whole set of mostly-crossover Pride-parade fanarts, for anyone who wants Even More Webcomic Recs.
Is Unity on roller skates? Because it totally looks like she’s on roller skates.
Unity is totally skating… or blading.
They came with the feet.
What’s the pride flag that Sweetheart is wearing? I don’t recognize it.
Good question. It looks to me like maybe a recombination of the NB flag and one version of the bigender flag. But tweaks to all of these designs are not uncommon—witness the fact that not only have I seen two different bigender flag designs, but also Sweetheart’s carrying Daniel Quasar’s pride flag redesign—so it may just be a version I’m not familiar with. (Or a non-flag arrangement of relevant colors, for that matter.)
It’s the Pride Progress flag. Had to look it up. x3
Is it the flag she’s carrying or the scarf around her neck? I looked it up, too, but didn’t really have time for a thorough search of *every* flag.
The one in her mouth is the Pride Progress Flag. The one around her neck I don’t think is a pride flag unless it’s a custom-made one, I’ve checked multiple sources and it doesn’t exist. The colors however do represent different things on a flag.
I thought maybe it was a Canadian thing…
Sweetheart is wearing one of the approximately 3 million proposed lesbian flags! (One that has actual history and symbolism mixed in with the pretty colors.)
Oh my goodness thank you I was really driving myself crazy trying to figure out what that flag was! Next time I wonder something about a comic page while I’m rereading, I check the comments first.
