From the last sixty covers, I've gotten nine comments; seven were from the same person, and one was mine saying thanks. Thankfully, I do the covers mostly for myself as a form of therapy, but I have to think that either people are just not liking my work or that most don't even go to the site itself, where I've been posting. I'm hopeful it's the latter. Sooo, I've decide to start posting my covers here, by 5's first; then when I have 20 or 30, I'll transfer them over to the site. Here's 1501 - 1505. 1501 - Beauty Boyz Originals: Photos from Maritess Concepcion's "Hair and Accessories" websites. Thanks again Maritess. This one is dedicated to all those TGfiction boys who've been feminized against their wills (at first) by a mom or a sister or an aunt or a girlfriend because those thought they were "Too pretty to be boys". May you keep being written! :-) 1502 - Fooled, Feminized, Fed Up! Original: A Moon, A Girl ... Romance comics, #10 After learning what men are like from a feminine perspective, he decides they are scum and he'd rather be she. 1503 - Turned Around for the Better! http://tgcaps.com/caps/modpanels/lorna/LornaToons1 /great_help.jpg.phpOriginal: Another from Lorna, Thanks, sis. LTO98, follow the link. I may do more with Sam the Sorority Sweetheart and Q T Pi sorority. 1504 - Bear or bride? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wind_at_My_BackOriginal: A Moon, A Girl ... Romance comics, #9 This one was inspired by the character of May Bailey (Shirley Douglas), the domineering grandmother in the Canadian television series "Wind at My Back". It's set in a small Canadian town in 1932, and is currently running on the BYU network and several others. I HIGHLY recommend it. I've included a Wikilink. 1505 - Torn Original: Falling in Love comics, #15 When a boy is pressured into becoming a girl, even if "she" comes to like it, it may take awhile for the boy to fade away, and that most likely will be a turbulent time.  Beauty Boyz

More great work Jezzi. I have to say I like 1503 : Turned around for the Better and 1505 : Torn.
1503 bought a smile to my face. And brightend a boring day. 1505 has me wondering 'What is the secret shame?'

Thanks, Maria.
There wasn't much of Don left, but HE was ashamed of actually wanting to be a gurl; of course the good majority that was now Donna wasn't.

Great set, Jezzi. I really like the multi-panel cover, and the others too. I like the classic comic style of three of the covers, which I think really lends itself to TG themes. I don't like the style of #1503, but that's nothing to do with your recapping.
I guarantee you this: There are a lot more people out there who like and appreciate your work than either bother to (or dare to) comment. There's often not a lot to say, other than "I liked it". And then there's the usual fear factor (of sticking our necks up) that permeates our community. Most of us are so deep into the TG closet that to find us you'd need a crowbar to hack through the floor.
On another subject entirely: While reading #1505 I found myself wondering at the way the word "GURL" is used. I know what it means, and that it goes back a long way in your work, but here's my thought. It might be better to use "GIRL" at times, specifically in dialogue where the speaker isn't aware (or shouldn't be) that the "gurl" isn't a real girl. That way, when speakers do say "gurl" we can be sure that they know. And in narrative text, of course, "GURL" is entirely appropriate. Just a thought. :-)

Here's the next five, 1506-1510. 1506 - Liquored Up "ladies" Original: Photo from one of Maritess Concepcion's "Hair and Accessories" websites. Thanks Maritess The old "losing a bet" theme again. This time a whole baseball team lost - probably thought girlie softball would be a snap. Will guys never learn? Must have been powerful stuff poured into that punch, though, the guys sure look like they're having fun being gurls! It was fun trying to think how a girl's scrapbook page - photo complete with notes and speech balloons taped on - would have looked from that era. 1507 - Helpful Girls http://storysite.org/story/shisutaabooi~01.htmlOriginal: I pulled this out of a bunch of graphics I got when I googled Manga Shojo images. My thanks to Tristra for suggesting the use of manga. The idea for this story as well as the word "shisutaabooi" and the VGC logo image came from Joe Six-Pack's story "Shisutaabooi" on Crystal's Storysite. I've provided a link. The word means sissy boy in Japanese. I researched Japanese name meanings so I could match the names I used to the characters of my protagonist and his/her "helpers": Takeshi is a boy's name meaning "violent". The others are girls' names: Yasu, "assertive child", Chieko, "wise child" and Naoakemi is a combination of two names meaning "docile bright beauty". 1508 - Charlie Sheen Tribute Original: My own Romance comics, #32 The coach called a special practice session. I wonder why. 1509 - Trek Break Original: New Worlds Science Fiction magazine, #54, December, 1956 This is how I would relax between missions if I were Captain Kirk ... or, for that matter, if I were Captain Bleigh, Captain Marvel, Captain Hook, one of the Captains Courageous, etc. :-) 1510 - Instrument of the Goddess Original: Baron Gong Battle manga, Battle One. Thanks again, Tristra, for the manga idea. I made up Lady Flame. That said, with the proliferation of superheroes in the last two decades or so, I will not be at all surprised if someone points out to me that there is already a Lady Flame, not even if he tells me she started as a he. If it turns out to be so, I apologize and Lady F will be a one off character for me.  Liquored Up "Ladies"

Glad you like the suggestion, I didn't exactly mean action Manga but if your inspired then it works. There are love and relationship Mangas Supernatural. slice of life comedy scifi steampunk and all sorts of others.
For me I find it best to use images from stories I haven't read, that way I'm attached to or affected by the story in my view, I just see the image in the raw and run with it.
some Manga titles that may have art you would like
XXXHolic Ghost Hunter Mikami. Hunter X Hunter these three have a wide range or full page art some color most not and n a few different styles. there are loads of others also. I don't know how you search or what you look for in particular but that should be a start.

Hey, Jezzi.
I liked "Trek Break". It reminds me of the episode where Kirk is split into his civilized and savage halves, and how they both learn they can't live without the other (rather heavy-handed moralizing, as per usual). There's an obvious TG parallel here with Kirk split into male and female halves, although I'm not sure how the story would work out from there...

HERE'S 1511 - 1515!
1511 - orderly Progression
Original: My Love comics, #9
The oldest girl traditionally gets to wear her mother's wedding gown, only in TGfiction Land it's the oldest gurl.
1512 - Happy, Happy, Joy, Joy!
Original: Confessions of the Lovelorn comics, #93
Re-formed, Reformed, Romanced and wedded - just a happy little tale for a change.
1513 - Aversion Therapy
Original: A photo pulled from either Google or Yahoo's Victorian Fashions for Women Images site.
The size, body language and expressions of the three caused me to immediately think of a mother protecting her obviously scared daughters but also holding them in place, as if she wasn't going to let them be really hurt but that they had to experience what was about to transpire. ... Of course in TGfiction Land, they're her sons.
1514 - The Right Doctor?
Original: PEP Comics, #64 - November, 1947
Bob Smith only has a bad cold when he goes through the wrong door in an unfamiliar medical building and steps into the The TGfiction Zone! Will HE come out?
At this point Archie's gang is only six years old and I imagine that to most of us they don't yet look like what our mental images are of them, so I felt safe in using them as non-Archie characters. Actually, I'm not really sure from the original whether the two girls are even supposed to be Betty and Veronica. I changed Archie to Bob by making his hair black and removing the "R" from his sweater.
1515 - A Little Change
Original: Another manga. I have no idea which one, as the title was in Japanese characters, and, except for Ranma 1/2, I'm not really a manga fan: This is the original's .jpg prefix: shoujo-sect-yuri 03416-486-666.
Manga covers are much harder to work with than American/European comic, book, or magazine covers. First most are character poses, not designed to really suggest a story, and second, they are much more crowded with titles and pics often overlapping each other. I have had some success in finding covers' main artwork separate from the covers themselves. The upshot of this is that I may have one Manga cover mod for every 5-10 American/European mods for awhile.
The two girls on this one just looked to me like a Domme-Sub duo. I've heard of "Magical Girls" manga, so why not Magical Dommes? And if a Domme was magical, what would she do? Well, this is TGfiction Land. :-)
There were a number of english letter Japanese words for "little" and for "one". I just put the two together that make what to me is the most pleasing sound. I have no idea if sukashi + wan would mean Little One used as a term of endearment.  Orderly Progression

Here's 1516a - 1520. I will now post 1501 -1520 at the home site. 1516a - The Battle of the Sexes ... and GendersOriginal: PEP Comics, #68 - 1948 The "Riverdale Women Hater's Club" sign was part of the original. It made me think that there must also be a Riverdale Man Hater's Club for the girls. Well, in TGfiction Land the way for one group to find out about the other is obvious. In this issue, both a & b, and also in issue 1519, I have "borrowed" actual Archie characters; Sue me. I picked Moose as my TG protagonists because the girls in the originals were blondes and he's the only major Archie male character that's blonde, and because, to the best of my knowledge, he's also the only major male character who in real Archie has never been in drag; he deserved his turn. :-) I did take comicary license: Moose first appeared as a character in "Archie's Pal, Jughead" #1 in 1949, a year after the 1516a PEP original came out. 1516b - Tummy TroublesOriginal: Archie's Pal, Jughead comics (1949 series) #2 A continuation of the 1516a story line. The titles "The Good Spy Gurl" and "The Good Spy Gurls" were a twist on the film title, The Good Bye Girl". 1517 - And They Lived Happily Ever AfterOriginal: Uncle Charlie's Fables comics, #1 A feminine male and a masculine female: A match made ... well, somewhere. 1518 - Rabbit Holes are Sooo Yesterday! VG#1201 linkhttp://tgcaps.com/caps/modcovers/jezzi/Vaingirls/V aingirls%201201-1300/Vaingirls%201201.jpg.phpOriginal: Comix comics, #7 - July, 2011 As soon as I saw this original, I thought "Mad Hatter" - but, of course, updated and TGed. I added the original Tenniel "10/6" price tag to the original. To see "her" great granny, follow the link to VGC issue 1201. 1519 - Cafel TGfornia: Edgar and The EaglesOriginal: Archie's Pal, Jughead comics (1949 series) #5 If you want to know the backstory, then listen as Juggy sings "Cafe TGfornia":On a Riverdale highway, Searching food everywhere, Warm smell of hamburgers Rising up through the air! Up ahead in the distance, I saw a shimmering sight: My stomach rumbled and my sight grew dim - Had to stop for the night. There she stood in the doorway; I heard the night cook's yell. I was thinkin' to myself, "Could this be heaven? To early to tell." Then she picked up a menu And she showed me the way - There were voices from the corner booths, I could hear them say, "Welcome to the Cafe TGfornia ..." The E.A. Poe part of this was made up almost a decade ago as a mod panel, and I'd forgotten about it. When I was doing #1514 and decided to make my protagonist Moose, I wondered when he had actually appeared on the Archie scene. I googled him and found he appeared first in AP,J #1, which led me to check out that title in the GCD, where I discovered issue #5 and remembered what I had done with it all those years ago. I hunted it up and turned it into this cover, updating it by adding "Hotel California" into the mix. 1520 - Training a BrideOriginal: The Popular Magazine, September 1, 1914 There actually were Bride trains taking women from the east out to the 19th century American "old west" frontier to be married. There were also orphan trains taking orphaned boys and girls out west for a labor/parents trade off. I've had this original for quite awhile. When I first saw it, I thought of the girl, "That's Snow White!" I tried for a long time to come up with a VGC cover based on that but was having no luck. Then last week, I watched a movie that involved stowaways and saw a documentary on the bride trains. Thus this cover with no Snow White. ... Though maybe someday my cover will come. :-)  The Battle of the Sexes ... and Genders

Here's 1521-1525.1521 - Big Hairy Deal!Originals: The three small pics are from Maritess Concepcion's "Hair and Accessories" websites. Thanks, Maritess. The large pic is from Google's "Pixie Haircut Images" page. This ones a tribute to all the "Hair" TGfiction stories. 1522 - Secretarial Seductionhttp://tgcaps.com/caps/modpanels/lorna/LornaToons6 /LToon+592+Company+Policy.jpg.phpOriginal: Another from Lorna, LT592. Thanks, Lorna. Take a look at Lorna's original. I took the same basic idea, company makes male employee be a secretary. In mine, though, it's boss into secretary, not new hire, and the new secretary discovers "she" has the skills to be more in charge than "he" ever was. 1523 - Male Model Marriage Maids OR The Femalliteration of the Meyers MenOriginal: Secrets of Young Brides comics, #32 Lots of text on this one, but that's because I kept the style of the original. This one is a tribute to all the stories where a male reluctantly - at first - crossdresses to help others. Sorry that 1525 also has the theme of men modeling wedding apparel and of it being a family affair, but hopefully the differences in the two are enough. 1524 - BFFs: Clothing the RiftOriginal: Avon paperback book cover, "Butterfield 8" by John O'Hara Friendship is too precious to be destroyed over clothing. 1525 - Flee or Follow?Original: Darling Love comics, #11 Sorry that 1523 also had the theme of men modeling wedding apparel and of it being a family affair, but hopefully the differences in the two are enough. This one is also a tribute to all the stories where a male reluctantly - at first - crossdresses to help others.  Big Hairy Deal!

1526 - Give The Gentleman What He Wants.
Original: Barbie comics, #22
Old, rich, and male may beat old, rich, and female, but young, soon-to-be-rich and female beats old, rich, and male any day! (DISCLAIMER: May not be true for some non-western cultures.)
1527 - Oldbiddied!
Original: Black Magic comics, #14
Resemblance to a certain well known TGfiction wizard is both intended and implied. :-)
1528 - Spillover
Original: Secret Hearts comics, #115
What happens when your job starts taking over the rest of your life?
1529 - Chick Chitchat
Original: A photo from one of Maritess Concepcion's "Hair and Accessories" websites. Thanks, Maritess.
Ooh man, hear those crazy chicks.
Who talks girl talk? Girls talk girl talk. Girly girl girl talk! We like girl talk! Who talks girl talk? GURLS talk girl talk!
Apologies to the Royal Teens

Here's 1531 - 15351531 - My Buddies, My BabysittersOriginal: Dead Pool comics, #52 ... The little girl pic came from a birthday card. From Superhero to cute little gurl. How horrible, dear readers! ... Well, maybe not :-) 1532 - No Contesthttp://fictionmania.tv/stories/readtextstory.html? storyID=300083979224894463Original: Young Love comics, #57 This was inspired by a Vickie Tern story, "True Love". It's at Fictionmania; follow the link. If your like me, you'll get angry reading it - angry at the selfish manipulating wife and angry at the clueless wimp husband who lets himself be manipulated. You'll swear you won't read another VT story. But you will. 1533 - UngratefulOriginals: Two pics from Maritess Concepcion's "Hair and Accessories" websites. Thanks, Maritess. I'm sure the point of the photo of the three girls was to show off the backs of their hairdos, but it took me right back to childhood punishment, when my parents wanted me to "think about something". For me it was standing in a corner, "corner time", but I'd also heard of "wall time", same idea. Then I went looking for a pic of a woman who looked like she was disappointed in those "gurls". 1534 - A Female Manhttp://tgcaps.com/caps/modpanels/lorna/LornaToons1 /gwave_no_expenses.jpg.phpOriginal: Another from Lorna, LT-089. Come back to us, Lorna! Follow the link. Her name was Lola ... 1535 - Father Knows BestOriginal: Secret Hearts comics, #127 "Oh,daddy,dear,You know you're still number one ..." Usually it's the mom who wants her petticoat punished son to stay her "daughter" after the punishment time is up and connives to keep him in skirts; here the mom is actively arranging to change "Her" back to her son, and will probably force the issue if "daddy" doesn't intervene.

The years shown: The first year, 1901: The Debutant: Miss Smythe is unveiled before "her" entire the family (with Mistress tatiana acting as Mistress of Ceremonies) 1906: The Butterfly: Miss Smythe does a modern dance routine (choreographed by Mistress tatiana) as she moves from house to house trick or treating. 1909: The Actress: Miss Smythe performs as "Hamletta" in the all-feminine version of Shakespeare's play (adaptation written by Mistress Tatiana) Any ideas, dear readers, for 1902, 1903, 1904, 1905, 1907, 1908, 1910, & 1911 (the last year)? 1539 - Giving The Devils His DueOriginal: Cover Browser Vintage Postcard #380 I did this one for Lorna.

Here are 1541 -1545:
1541 - Fading LadyOriginal: Professor Zamorra comics (German) #26 I started this one several years ago. It was supposed to be issue eight hundred and something, but I could never get an idea that wouldn't need way too much text. Eventually I forgot about it. Yesterday I found it while going thru some old folders, and the idea for this cover just popped into my head. That's the way it works sometimes. 1542 - TricksterOriginal: The Schoolgirl magazine, July 9, 1938 There are quite a few of these Schoolgirl covers and many have TG potential. I like the use of only orange, shades of blue, and off-white. If this cover leaves you wondering who's tricking who, that's the point. 1543 - Livin' It Up At The Hotel Californiahttp://www.lyrics007.com/Eagles%20Lyrics/Hotel%20C alifornia%20Lyrics.htmlhttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H1iv6lof5JM&feature =related[url=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H1iv6lof5JM&fe ature=related ]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H1iv6lof5JM&featur e=related [/url] Original: Absinthe Hair & Grooming Parlour ad You pretty much have to know "Hotel California" to get this one. Follow the the lyrics and the song links. 1544 - Let GoOriginal: Teen Age Love comics, #80 A hard choice for a reluctant girl 1545 - Sky Queenshttp://www.moviemistakes.com/film1558/trailerOriginal: Photo taken from a Pan Am site.

Here's 1546 - 1550!1546 - Wonder GenerationsOriginal: Wonder Woman comics (1987 series) #184 I'm assuming this original was about Wonder Woman of the late 1980s somehow meeting her 1940s self or ancestor. I just gave it a TG twist. 1547 - A Girl among the GurlsOriginal: A photo from one of Maritess Concepcion's "Hair and Accessories" websites. What would I do without you, Maritess? Thanks. Being the only girl at an all boy party would make a girl a little nervous. If the boys were gurls would it make her more or less so? 1548 - Surgical SwitcherooOriginal: Linda Carter Student Nurse comics, #2 One of my few covers where none of the male characters pictured are enfemme. I did this for the "coming out" play on words. 1549 - Ooh, BOYS!http://www.readbookonline.net/readOnLine/2695/Original: Secret Hearts comics, #144 Kipling wrote in his poem, "The Ladies": When you get to a man in the case, They're like as a row of pins -- For the Colonel's Lady an' Judy O'Grady Are sisters under their skins! In regard to my cover, I would substitute," For Suzie O'Grady and the TS Lady", for line 3. Follow the link for Kipling's poem. 1550 - A Bully Fatehttp://www.storysite.org/story/leighannesentencedt o~01.htmlOriginal: A photo from one of Maritess Concepcion's "Hair and Accessories" websites. What would I do without you, Maritess? Thanks. From facial features and expression, I believe there's a good chance the person getting curlered in the photo really is a boy. The photo reminded me of a story written by Karen Elizabeth L, "Leigh Anne: Sentenced to Life". It became the inspiration for this cover. Follow the link for Karen's story,  WONDER-ful!

Here's 1551 - 1555
1551 - Death Duties
Original: A fashion plate titled "Newest French fashions" from a women's magazine, circa 1880s I would guess. I found it at Yahoo's "Victorian womens' fashions images" web page.
What's an honorable newly widowed father who loves and accepts his transgendered son to do? In TGfictionland, the answer is obvious.
1552 - End Time
Original: Young Love comics, 1960 series, August/September, 1962
When I first saw this original, the girl in green just didn't look quite right to me; she looked awkward, clenching her hands, holding herself stiffly and looking down as if to make sure her feet were in the right places, etc. and it struck me that she could be a crossdressed boy trying to act like a girl but having had no previous practice. I had just watched "Cinderella" with my granddaughter, so that's where the redhead being evil and the whole "change at midnight" bits came from. 1553 - UNholy smokes!
Original: Top Love Stories comics, #18
The twist of course is that it's NOT Jim's transition that is upsetting Fred.
1554 - Football facade
Original: I don't remember where I got this original. I believe the artist is Richard Sargent and that it was in an issue of the Saturday Evening Post from 1958.
My guess is that Mom already knows all about "Aunt Janice" and "Bonnie". I wouldn't be surprised if when Dad and Bobby get home they are greeted by Mom wearing the same outfit.
1555 - Two Faces Have I
Original: Young Love comics, 1960 series, August/September, 1960
No TGfictionland here, just a very real world tough choice.  Death Duties

I like the last one. I feel it would have been more fun without the dialogue box in the corner. to me many stories are better when the right things are left unsaid. "To Kiss or to be kissed. " pretty much says it all and matches the scene well.
I don't quite get the UNholy Smokes comment about intervention.
The others aren't really my thing, no better or worse than the thousands of others like them though.

Hi Tristra; thanks for the comment.
RE: UNholy Smokes
Fred's attitude is the norm, no one seems at all upset or sees anything out of the ordinary about Jim's sex change. They ARE upset about Janet's smoking (probably Jim hadn't smoked) The intervention would be to get her to quit smoking, nothing to do with his sex change.

Here are 1556 - 1560. All five are based on Saturday Evening Post covers from 1959-1961. I will now post 1541 - 1560 to the main site. 1556 - Revenge of the NerdOriginal: The Saturday Evening Post, October 17, 1959 This is another where I think the story should be written. The first quarter would be Pritchard's story, but the rest would be Fred/Fritzie and Barry/Baryl's stories after Pritchard lifts the trance 1557 - When the Fat "Lady" Sings VT story link: http://fictionmania.tv/stories/readtextstory.html? storyID=29738609872411218Original: The Saturday Evening Post, December 16, 1961 Richard Sargent, the Artist, titled the original cover picture, "The fat Lady Sings". I thought she sort of looked like the other old guys, so in TGfiction Land ... Then I thought what would a Cross dressed CEO be singing and it reminded me of one of Vickie Tern's earliest stories, "Second Hand Rose"; I've added a link. 1558 - New Guy, New GurlsOriginal: The Saturday Evening Post, January 30, 1960 The artist, Amos Sewell, titled this original, "Who will he ask?" I thought the girls looked, first of all, unhappy, then, more like they were glaring at the guy rather than each other, which I think was the artist's intent. Sooo, in TGfictionland that meant the two gurls were petticoat punished boys unhappy with their lots and definitely NOT wanting to be picked to dance with another guy. 1559 - Prom ChangesOriginal: The Saturday Evening Post, April 18, 1959 The artist, Kurt Ard, titled this original, "First Prom Dress". I immediately thought, "first prom dress, but not necessarily first prom outfit." 1560 - Quick Change ArtistOriginal: The Saturday Evening Post, September 12, 1959 In TGfictionland, what does a stay-at-home dad wear during the day? Well, the answer is obvious, isn't it? From the date, I think this is probably a back to school issue; if that's the case, Dad has been waiting several months to indulge. No wonder he was so fast changing.  Revenge of the Nerd

Great and varied work as always Jezzi, re the Home Alone, I am sure there are a lot who can relate to this one! Also loved the Senior Prom, I just adore the way dad was so un-perplexed and laid back about. Cheers, Helen
