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.
Parker Johannsen and Luca Braz are married and have been raising their kids in the (fictional) Monroe District of Spokane, Washington.
Xylon Johannsen-Braz is the oldest, sort of a "Bart Simpson" type, but good at heart.
Ruby Johannsen-Braz is the middle, a smart and popular girl for her age.
And then there's Morgan, who's always full of ideas and questions.
Alongside their friends and extended family, the five of them journey through life, facing problems and learning lessons... together.
