Open call for a queer WebComicKollektiv by Anna Heger (please refer to contact info below):
Ich suche für ein WebComicKollektiv queere Menschen. Ich will im Internet mit Leuten aus meinen Szenen zusammenarbeiten. Ich bin queer + bi + poly + feministisch auf dem Trans*spektrum.

Für alle die Lust haben beim queeren WebComicKollektiv mitzumachen. Ich will mehr deutschsprachige WebComics abseits des Mainstream lesen.
