Happy 2022, everyone, and thank you for reading the first “Parker and Luca” comic!
I got the idea for this strip years ago, actually, after realizing that while there has been more LGBTQ+ visibility on television, there aren’t many shows with same-sex parents. The percentage of shows featuring same-sex parenting, in my perspective, goes down even further if you only count comedies. I am not a parent myself (I plan to have four kids in my thirties, but there is no place in my life for kids right now), but I draw inspiration from my experiences babysitting my younger brother, as well as stories from other people.
And now, here it is, in 2022, after umpteen outlines and incarnations: “Parker and Luca!” … and Xylon, Ruby, Morgan, and all their relatives and friends.
