| The cover of Limp Wrist |
For this summer’s Single Issue Showcase, I decided to
cover a mini comic I picked up at last year’s CAKE. Perhaps I’ll get around to
my haul from this year sometime in 2018. That’s the closest I can get to
opening with a joke, because Limp Wrist
by Scout Wolfcave and Penina Gal is not for the faint of heart. The title page
contains a trigger warning for “bullying, abuse, and transmisogyny.” It’s a
harrowing autobiographical comic that does not flinch from portraying the
reality far too many trans people face. In its sixteen pages, Limp Wrist contains more truth than
whole feature-length films. It was published in 2014 by Paper Rocket
Minicomics.
