Girly

Girly is a webcomic created by Jaqueline Lesnick which follows the romantic relationship between two girls named Otra and Winter, as well as other citizens of the city of Cute-Town.

Girly is a comic that helped sexually awaken a generation of readers, as well as (eventually) myself.” The webcomic is a sequel to Lesnick's previous work, CuteWendy.

[citation needed] In October 2005, Girly became a part of the Dayfree Press collective of webcomics, which included strips such as Dinosaur Comics and Questionable Content.

[6][7] in August 2006, Lesnick announced that a sales and donation drive had raised $5,000 and while she could not live solely from Girly, it meant she "could officially concentrate on comics for the rest of the year and not worry too much about making ends meet.

[citation needed] Lesnick also ran a successful Kickstarter to print a single collection of all of Girly in four books in one slipcover.

Along with absurdity, playing with stereotypes and frequent pop culture references, Girly has a strong vein of sexual humor.

Writing at Fleen, webcomics commentator Gary Tyrrell described Girly as a comic which "quickly became a plot-heavy, continuity-driven strip".

A writer for Sequential Tart, talking about Lesnick's work in general as of 2004, described her as "ha[ving] a thing for shiny, slippery bodies" and "tend[ing] to have a wacky sense of humor".

[28] In a 2006 article for Fleen, Kate Ditzler said that Girly made her uneasy and angry, arguing that the comic strip used sexual harassment as a joke in some panels.
