This is a comic I created in May, 2021 as a submission for a butch lesbian comic anthology. 

The full first page of Home, with words "Home, Alison Benbow" above the first panel. In the first panel, a young person says, "I, um, have a girlfriend" while sitting across a small table from their grandparents. In the second panel the young person looks down at the ground with the text, "I remember feeling scared." In the third panel, the young person looks up, with the text, "But when I looked at my grandmom," and in the final panel, the text "Her smile said, I know, I know, I'm so happy you told me." A drawing of grandmom smiling and nodding is underneath the text.

The second full page of Home. The first and only individual panel in the upper left hand corner depicts the young person sitting in a chair with the text, "After all, how could she not?" Smaller text, "buzzed hair," "oversized t-shirt," and "men's shorts" appear around the person, pointing to different places on their body. The rest of the page contains an image that goes all the way to the edges, depicting a zoomed out image of the young person and their grandparents sitting at the small table under a tree. The grandparents ask, "Can we see a picture of her?" The young person replies, "Yes!!"
