Welcome to the club!\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTired of feeling like you don’t belong? Join the club. It’s called the Section. You’d think a spot to chill, chat, and find community would be much easier to come by for nerdy, queer punks. But when four longtime, bookish BFFs—Lika, Amor, Lala, and Tony—can’t  find what they need, they take matters into their own hands and create a space where they can be a hundred percent who they are: Black, queer, and weird.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe group puts a call out for all awkward Black folks to come on down to the community center to connect. But low attendance and IRL run-ins with trolls of all kinds only rock everybody with anxiety. As our protagonists start to question the merits of their vision, a lifetime of insecurities—about not being good enough or Black enough—bubbles to the surface. Will they find a way to turn it around in time for their radical brainchild, the Blackward Zine Fest?\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eLawrence Lindell’s characters pop from the page in playful Technicolor. From mental health to romance, micro—and macro—aggressions to joy, our crew tackles everything life throws at them in this heartwarming tale about building a place to belong and the power of community.\u003c\/p\u003e\n                        \u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n                        \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eLawrence Lindell \u003c\/b\u003eis an artist, musician and educator from California who works in many artistic disciplines, including comics, music, illustration, and mixed media.
