K's Auto Parts: Definitely Not a Criminal Empire

It's the mid 1920s, the height of prohibition in America. Janie's an ex-dance-troupe sweetheart with a flair for the dramatic and big dreams in the Big Apple. Kay's a car mechanic (definitely not a mob boss) with an exciting night life and a penchant for men's clothing. Could I make it any more obvious? K's Auto Parts is an episodic anthology about two queer women in the 1920s that incorporates multi-media elements such as sound and frame animation. Updates at 2pm EST on Tuesdays, with breaks between each chapter. TW: While cartoon-y and usually lighthearted in nature, K's Auto Parts contains images and themes that may be upsetting for some readers, including swearing, blood/violence, guns and other weapons, as well as depictions and use of drugs and alcohol. Particularly egregious or dark episodes will be marked as mature as needed.
