Well folks, that wraps up this volume of What’s Normal Anyway? ! Like I mentioned in this post, this story will likely continue in some way, but I’m not entirely sure how yet. Definitely come back next week, though, because the following Monday marks the beginning of several weeks of prequel comics, which you lovely kickstarter backers brought to life by reaching a stretch goal!
Now’s an excellent time to reflect on what this comic has meant over the three years it’s been going on, and to thank all of your readers, commenters and supporters. I can’t express how grateful I am that you gave me a safe, creative way to process the biggest transition of my life. Thank you for laughing and feeling along with the comic, for finding pieces that helped you in some way, and for making this project so meaningful. Thank you for being the most important part of it all. *GROUP HUG*
Love,
Morgan
Thankyou for this comic too. I can’t begin to tell you how much it helped me, even though I am not transgendered myself- it has made me much more aware of how it must affect people and made me a better person because of it. Good luck with the next chapter and I’m so, so grateful for having the pleasure to read each section of Mel’s life each week. Big love! <3
I wasn’t there until the end of the journey of this comic, but I have enjoyed it thoroughly and look forward to your upcoming works!
<3 Best of luck on your new adventures!
Have to admit, got a little teary to see the end of volume 1! I love these characters so much and its been such an amazing ride to follow your work so far. Can’t wait to see where you’ll go next!
Riding this journey along with Mel, I have become informed, inspired, had my eyes opened to the many facets of transitioning. But I mostly treasure the insights I have acquired. Good luck to Mel and the gang. Happy trails Morgan.
noooo! the feels! srsly, i love this comic.
See momma, I am someone, I am!
I’m not crying, my eyes are just sweaty…
Yay! A very good ending to this chapter!
Is this the end of mel’s story? This comic has been so important to me in my journey to understand and accept my gender identity. I came out to myself and the world as transgendered a year ago (or well decided that I wasn’t gonna hide who I was anymore). I found this comic in february and it’s been such a great help. In bad moments I’ve looked here. There’s a lot of recognition here and a lot I don’t recognise (since I’m not physically transitioning). Thank you! <3 And Good Luck with everything!
Welp. Time to read it all over again for the 15th time!
Can’t wait for the prequels!
Thank you very much for the entertainment, the laughs and the sweet moments this webcomic has given all of us. You rock! Lots of love form Spain!!
I used to live in Gainesville and heard about this comic from an old mutual friend of ours. Back then I had barely an inkling of my own gender issues and I just kept the bookmark in my huge comic links folder. Now I’m immensely grateful to him for showing it to me and for the fact that I never deleted it. My own journey has been very different from Mel’s, but it has still shown me that I can face this, and it is worth doing.
