Would you like an Eisner-nominated webcomic that - on its surface - is a queer slow burn band romance, but boiling just below is a long-form narrative about generational scars and the pressure to live up to gender roles? #KeepingTime #webcomics 🎸keepingtimecomic.com

A panel from the webcomic KEEPING TIME. Daniel, a Nikkei dude, sits on the sofa of his sparse, cold apartment. With one hand, he sets his Telecaster guitar to the side while he speaks on his flip phone. He says, "...I just don't know how fair it would be to make him give up his ownership of the house and still expect him to be financially responsible for it."

A second panel trunk shot. Denver Leary, a blond punk with a neck tattoo, lifts the lid of a dumpster while two figures stand behind him in a dark alleyway. He says, "Oh. I mean, I dropped in on the pizza place next door for a slice, too."

A third panel whose caption reads "NOW." Daniel, a Japanese-American dude, tunes a peg on his electric guitar in front of a poster parodying Interpol.

Final panel. On S Wacker Drive in Chicago, food trucks are lined up on the side of the street for lunch hours and office workers queue up before them. Denver with an arm in a sling and carrying a skateboard, dashes while cursing, "Fuck, fuck, fuck -- of course they’re fucking slammed -- FUCK!"
