Welcome to the "Semi" Official Website of Skipping Out; a comic strip for everyone. Don't let the "Semi" part fool you, though, it doesn't get more official than this (at least for now it doesn't...)! Ok, now that we're done with that, let's talk about what Skipping Out is and what brings you to this particular neck of Woodbury...

Skipping Out is a weekly web comic (where, you ask? Oh, here, thank you for asking, you're so kind!), featured by Prism Comics, Brat Boy School, C.I.T.Y. x1, and appearing in a Woolworth near YOU. Our story begins with the hapless Skippy Green, a young man just coming out, who struggles to understand his new life in this complicated and "alternative" community. Here is the home of cigarettes that only ash but never snuff out, dancing go-go models, frighteningly butch barristas, pumpkin spice latte's, Guykea, and Pride Parades that get you a tan AND a phone number ... well, for some people anyway...
 
AWE! at the "Comics" page and catch up with Skip's latest adventures.
