Elizabeth Beier is a lady who knows the lez existence. She’s just lived it by herself, she actually is pulled it out also. For the past several years she actually is invested many evenings from the famous ingesting spot, The Lex. She’s penned straight down pretty much every encounter we have now had here, perfectly. Through the the one that went too far into downright depressing, her cartoons besides feel near house but very they a lot sum-up every little thing The Lex has actually stood for over these past few many years. She will end up being displaying the woman comic strips at Mission Comics in-may, but in the meanwhile, we asked this lady a bit about her task and where you could discover much more.
Q. exactly what made you need to put pen to report for any Lex cartoons?
A.
The will to wow ladies, without a doubt. Well, seriously â we started drawing women at the Lexington Club as a way to introduce me, in a fashion that was even more initial than providing them a drink or eagerly vocal along with the jukebox’s Pat Benatar. We began collecting the illustrations and planning on it much more as a “project” while I heard the bar was actually shutting.
Q. What are some of your own most useful memories from the Lex?
A.
On Halloween of 2014 I held judge within my preferred area at the club and received attractive folks in costume outfit, just who subsequently bought me personally beverages. A lovely woman (or at least â individual that isn’t a cis guy) handed me a card that said “you happen to be fucking amazing. Keep that shit right up” and walked away. We ran into the woman once more on my solution to capture the BART and experienced the very first hug since my Major breakup that believed fun and gorgeous. Thus â that has been an effective night.
