A revolution drawn frame by frame… No Straight Lines traces the creative and political journeys of queer comic artists from the 1970s to the present. Through the stories of trailblazers such as Alison Bechdel, Howard Cruse, Jennifer Camper, Rupert Kinnard, and Mary Wings, the film weaves together the fight for queer visibility with humor and art. Covering a wide range of queer experiences—from the AIDS crisis to marriage equality, from race and gender identity to everyday moments like haircuts—the documentary sheds light not only on the history of comic art but also on the cultural memory of the LGBTQ+ community.
