Very good stuff! I would never have heard of it had it not been for Poker Night at Castle Pikachu. Some of the comics are bringing back memories of many years ago . . .

Love the comic. Keep at it!
I found it a both a great laugh to read through and somehow very serious in places. Could relate to a lot of what goes on too :)

Uh, yeah. Well, to begin with, in my post-VE euphoria, I tapped out a brief note to Erin's e-mail address before discovering that the guest book is the proper location for one to gush and wax eloquent. Appy polly loggies, Erin. Now that my endorphin levels have receded to a less mind numbing level, let the sycophantic fawning begin!
I discern from reading others' notations in the guest book, that we are all basically on the same page concerning Erin's achievement. Brilliant artwork, compelling story line, well rounded characters, delightful humor, heart wrenching honesty- all a foregone conclusions at this point, but worth repeating surely. The depth and range of the individual interactions astounds me as well; I seem able to empathize with nearly all the primary players, even if I can't always condone their actions. Each time I think that I have someone pegged, another facet of their personality arises, forcing me to reevaluate my conclusions (and sometimes my own bias).The interpersonal insights delight, and frighten me, but I wouldn't want an iota less. Erin, your skill and dedication to your craft inspire awe; something little enough available in this jaded and indifferent environment. When I consider that this comic is (largely) a labor of love, instead of material gain, its excellence becomes even more remarkable. Your motivation may be beyond my ken, but instead of questioning, I rejoice in my good fortune.
Most of all, the unflinching openness concerning intimate details of suffering move me more than I can possibly convey. This display of courage and kindness compels me to face those parts of myself I had thought long since dead and buried, and face them with a measure of bravery I feared lost. This gift, one that I had not sought, and from an unexpected quarter, demands a response that leaves my future uncertain, but it is a gift none the less, one for which any words of gratitude seem inadequate. This, to me, is the measure of fine art- its ability to change people, to uplift and challenge their spirts, and impart a sense common humanity that transcends the petty differences that keep us separate.
Uh, whoops. Please forgive the pretentious preamble, I do tend to babble on and on. Let's just say I like the comic a lot, I think Erin is wonderful, and hope to see lots more of Venus Envy in the future, 'kay?

I was told by a TS freind of mine to go to this site and read up on the comic. On one paticular sunny afternoon, not having gone to school because of my own TS issues i sat down and began to read these comics. Reading this comic has helped give me some confidence in the climb back to the top of the well of depression because I related to it so well. I spend 4 hours reading the entire archive. It is one of the best comics I have read because it is not only funny but it touches on the reality of humanity which is not something you see that often in any art form anymore. Now if I could I would send money but I unfortunately don't have a credit card. All I an say is keep up the good work, I am really impressed with your progress from start to finish and weather the story ends or not anytime soon I will be close by to read every new comic strip. Keep up the amazing work, you deserve any praise you get, it has everything a story needs weather it be a comic or anything else and I don't think you should be as hard on yourself as you are. From someone who loves art from comics to cartoons to even making some of my own I think it is absolutely brilliant!

I just discovered this strip and I am glad that I did. One might ask what a 50+ married transvestite would find appealing in a strip about a teenage transsexual. All I can say is, funny is funny. And you have opened a channel that goes right into the human soul. Your work is intelligent, funny, and tugs at my heart strings. I have found myself lauging out loud and sometimes crying as I made my way through this series. Thank you, Erin, and do keep up the excellent work. I love it!

Wow! Erin, a big thank you! I haven't enjoyed something so much in a long time. PLEASE, please don't stop. I really want to see how Zoe keeps going. It has really helped me to see things properly again too!
Best wishes,
Jen

Hey Erin, I dunno how often you look at your own website, but uhm, the banner ads have gotten pretty darn annoying... in that they have sound now.... I know your web page is probably still in existence because of said ads, but I just thought I'd point it out, since there didn't used to be super obnoxious sound ones before.
