The Spring of Sapphic Satisfaction (2023) by VBL (me)

This is a rewrite in the form of a comic strip of Radclyffe Hall's The Well of Loneliness (1928). Her novel was about the butch lesbian heroine, Stephen Gordon. The ending is really sad so I wanted to rewrite the story so Stephen got another girlfriend who stays with her. Pipah was a character who came to me to fix that.

There's a glare on the last panel because it's already framed for an art show that they do in my local community.

The mediums are pen, ink and colored pencil. I hand drew/wrote it.

#I did this in less than two days because I didn't realize the show was so soon #and my school break ends in a few days! already #the spring of sapphic satisfaction #the title is very suggestive but the comic itself almost g-rated #Pipah was a character that came to me on one of my walks #and she was like PLEASE let me be Stephen's girlfriend!!!#and I was like 'girl we are going to make this happen!'#because really the depressed butch girls make me sad #so essentially I flung Pipah at Stephen to try to fix the ending of the story- yay?#we can add Radclyffe Hall to the list of historic figures who haunts me- I don't I'll ever be normal about her sorry #my drawings #mychatter #radclyffe hall #the well of loneliness #fanart?#pen and ink #colored pencil #also they're both in their 30s if anyone cares... which was the same time that Hall started her two long term relationships #also Stephen was like 35 or something at the end of the novel any way? Pipah might be like 33 maybe?#this is what I decided to enter into the community art gallery for a local art show #sapphic #wlw #lesbian #they are both lesbians #butch/femme #femme lesbians #butch lesbians #lesbian literature #1920s #brit lit
