Dylan Edwards's Blog

Yes, I do indeed continue to inflict new Taxonomically Unbound comics upon the world! Just in case you had the temerity to forget, these are my single-panel comics featuring the Most Worst Puns I have managed to devise for your amusement and/or suffering.

I sometimes even remember to add them to this, my very own website that I have maintained since the turn of the century. But if you are, for some reason, desperate to see them as they drop, your best bet is to follow my Patreon, which you can do for free! Or you can pay me, that would be super neat, honestly. I do always appreciate folks who wanna toss a buck or two my way! But I do usually post new finished work as free posts, so feel free to follow in whatever way suits you best.

Meanwhile …

As noted in the poster, I’ll be exhibiting at the fourth annual DeCAF, the Denver Comics and Arts Festival!

The show has a new location this year, Schoolyard, located at 1115 Acoma Street. It’s on Saturday, May 9th, and runs from 11AM – 7PM, and it’s free to attend! If you’re gonna be in the Denver area, hit us up and check out all the indie comic goodness on display.

So! That’s what’s up at the moment.

Cheers,

Dylan

If you’re about to point out that a lemon is not technically a vegetable, I will remind you that nothing is *technically* a vegetable. Vegetables are, you might say … unbound by taxonomy

A dynamic that is not to be sneezed at!

Perhaps the ghost minerals are to be found in cadaverns?

After getting derailed by other projects, in particular my newest zine collecting my earliest trans comic offerings, I have resumed my quest to offer more frivolous pun comics for my erstwhile series Taxonomically Unbound.

But first, may I point you to this Patreon blog post about my 25th Tranniversary. I thought it would be worthwhile to share a piece I wrote about navigating the experience of trying to access trans health care 25 years ago, and my impressions of the dangers we navigate today based on my experiences in existing as trans for the last quarter century.

Anyhow, on to the new Taxonomically Unbound comics!

I actually made these a couple of months back and had posted them to my Patreon, but I’ve finally gotten around to adding them here on the ol’ website like it’s the early aughts. I’ve also got some new ones in the works, so there is more yet to come!

Here they are for your convenience, or hit up the Taxo Unbo page for yet more pun absurdity.

Cheers,

Dylan

This is one of those puns that may well appeal to only a small slice of folks, but obviously playing to the masses here would miss the point.

Beware the undeadlines!

TL;DR: You can now snag a copy of my new zine from my Ko-Fi shop! Neat!

I first started making trans comics over 25 years ago, and while some have seen publication in anthologies here and there, I didn’t actually have any kind of collected print version of my very earliest works. I don’t even have them on my website anymore; I’d taken them down when I streamlined this site to be more of a portfolio and less of a giant dump of literally every comic I’d ever created. The art style of these early comics doesn’t reflect my current style, and over the years the topics I’d covered in them have drifted out of contemporary relevance.

But I’m a strong believer in archiving artifacts of marginalized communities. Jokes about binding from a quarter century ago might not be relevant to a young trans person’s experience today, but it might well be of historical interest to a young trans person who wants to know more about what trans folks of previous generations had navigated.

So I decided to put together a zine of those old comics, but with annotations to offer more context for those now-outdated topics. Explanations of deprecated terminology, cultural practices that have fallen by the wayside, and why I was mad at Norah Vincent in 2001.

You can now obtain a copy of this zine for your very own self! It’s available in my Ko-Fi shop, and, of course, at any show I’m tabling at. Hooray!

Cheers,

Dylan

As previously threatened, I have added several new Taxonomically Unbound comics to this here website. So if you need some thoroughly frivolous puns and other silly jokes, hit up that link! Here’s one of the new ones, for your edification:

See? Utterly absurd ridiculosity.

I’ve been posting these incrementally on my Patreon, so if you’d like to see them as they come out, that’s probably the most reliable method just at the moment. I’ve been doing them as free posts, but obviously you’re more than welcome to throw me some dollars if you are so inclined. It does genuinely help push me to keep doing these.

Anyhow, I have lots more puns to make comics out of, so stay tuned for more!

Cheers,

Dylan

Casein point!
