I just reread this series from the start of Steve’s story, yet I never saw the last panal of this page before now.
The first time I read the comic I distictly remember Tom getting the message and rushing off to help her, even saying something along the lines of “If he’s hurt her” or such. Barging in where the last panal is. But I cannot find it now.
I remember when I read this for the first time. I had had suspicions on-and-off that Jamie knew, but I was never entirely positive. But at that first panel, I was like, “HOLY SHIT I KNEW IT!!!!!!” A small victory dance may or may not have followed.
I first read Charlie’s Story and the rest of Khaos Komix in maybe 2010. At the time I didn’t know any trans people and I didn’t have the words for the feelings I could no longer ignore. Charlie’s Story and the people on the forums here helped me understand I wasn’t broken and I could be… me.
So, thank you Tab, and everyone who shared their own stories all that time ago. I hope one day I can properly repay what you did for me.
This page shows how I want to slap myself from 2012. Last weekend, I was looking at various webcomic pages I saved, and I noticed that in my Khaos Komix folder, the only pages I’d saved were from Charlie’s and Jamie’s story. How could I not have realized why I was so interested in the story of a trans girl?
Only last year did I realize that I really am a trans woman, not just an open-minded gender-non-conforming bi guy. There were many more signs, but I never connected all the dots. Now I’m working on my coming out and preparing my transition, which is all more tiring than scary.
Tab, thanks for keeping the archive online! I see your drawing style has become more refined, but Charlie and Jamie will always have a special place in my heart.
