Queer Comics: Featuring Vexed Wisecracker

Scroll To Top

In this week's collection of Vexed Wisecracker strips, artist Mike Van Waes challenges the straight guy notion that gay life is all about easy hookups, how to really tackle the world's problems, and the awkwarndess of sometimes just saying "hello."

Mike Van Waes brings his sharp eye to gay culture every week in Vexed Wisecracker strips. Come back next week for more strips, and check out additional work from Van Waes at VexedWisecracker.com.
