By Shaenon K. Garrity and Jeffrey Channing Wells
Shaenon: I have no interest in clothes and generally dress my characters in the same T-shirt-and-jeans combos I wear, so I'm not sure why, for Skin Horse, I was suddenly seized with the desire to draw a fashion-conscious cross-dresser. If nothing else, it's forced me to be at least marginally creative about clothing. I got some fashion books and copied outfits to get ideas for things Tip could wear. Here he is in full evening dress; I'd love to find a way to work an outfit like this into the strip.
Channing: Like Shaenon, I'm not terribly interested in clothes. Unlike Shaenon, I don't have a knack for writing them, either. Pretty much every cool thing you see Tip wear in this strip comes from her end of the scripting.

Once again, the fuzzy forearms are priceless.
Rachel (

God, even Shaenon's crossdressers make better women than I do. Although, to be fair, cartoon characters' clothing is made for them and changes shape to fit their bodies, while I have to make do with clearance rack stuff that is not at all amorphous.

I am trying to catch up on Narbonic and I love this strip already. Good thing I don't have a life.
Nick Christensen (

Tip in an evening gown is such an awesome mental image that it needs to happen somehow.

Oh, my - I think I may be able to help, at least with the evening wear.
/me giggles with an unhinged evil undertone.

I like Tip. :D
And not just because he's a cross-dresser.
...
Okay, that's mostly it. But I still like him. :D
