Out in early November is the collected Alice in Leatherland. It’s the story of a children’s book author who discovers satisfaction as well as like by moving to a huge city as well as working in a sex toy store.
As written by Iolanda Zanfardino as well as illustrated by Elisa Romboli, Alice is almost as well great to be true. She’s optimistic as well as charming as well as believes in happy endings. Her innocence makes people want to protect her — except for her girlfriend, who belittles her as well as cheats on her.
Alice’s good friend as well as illustrator, Robin, is the “love ’em as well as leave ’em” type. She’s moving to San Francisco, as well as Robin wants Alice to find with her, however it takes having her heart damaged for her to make the jump, abruptly.
It’s remove that Robin likes Alice more than she wishes to admit to herself. The visitor spends the book waiting on the two of them to figure it out. In the story, it takes them bumping into each other at a pride parade as well as a run-in at work to get past their misunderstandings as well as jealousy.
Alice discovers a space in a home with a performance artist as well as a dom who brings their work home. They set her up with a new task while she’s still working on her children’s story about a firefly trying to figure out exactly how to relight her glow.
The combination of wonderful insect analogies as well as explicit sexual encounters makes for an unusual story, however it’s all extremely good-hearted. As you can see from the obvious symbolism of Alice’s fairytale, visitors will understand the shape of the story from the beginning. It’s not the conclusion, however the journey. We want to root for Alice as well as see her discover her happy ending, as well as since it’s well-illustrated, it’s fun to comply with her around. especially since the different other women she tries to date are silly exaggerations.
Here’s my preferred short sequence, in which Alice finds a vibrator.
I enjoyed this unusual combination of attractive romance, as well as LGBTQ-friendly visitors especially should enjoy Alice’s journey of self-discovery.
