Loxie & Zoot is a webcomic by Australian artist Grace Crowley, hosted by Comic Genesis, about nudists Loxie and Zoot, co-owners of the Koala Bares Naturist Resort. The strip updated on Wednesdays and Fridays through 26 April 2006. Loxie & Zoot is perhaps best noted as one of the only and longest running nudist-oriented comic strips.
In February 2006, Crowley launched a spin-off strip, The Bare Pit, which was hosted at a separate web-host, Webcomics Nation.
A comic about nudists? Well... yeah! 'Cos nudists have adventures too, y'know. Loxie and Zoot just want to have fun in the sun... au naturel of course... but not if their arch-foe Tex Tyler and other prudes have a say in it.
The series starts with Zoot going into town to buy some manure for the garden. Because he is so used to living the nudist lifestyle, he has once again forgotten to get dressed first. After finally noticing at the check-out line, he hastily pays and runs out and right into Tex Tyler, who is doing a television interview for his mayoral campaign. This is interpreted by the media as an attack on Tyler, who had just moments prior made a pledge to have the resort closed down.
Loxie and Zoot decide to hold an open day, inviting the whole town and the media to it. Tex Tyler goes in undercover in a nude suit as "Noodie Sven" to try to sabotage the event.
Television reporter Kylie steps into The Koala Bay Bares and is reminded of her brutish past experience with nakedness – being blatantly taunted when caught skinny dipping in a creek. However, with the help of Loxie and a few others, she is able to overcome her fears.
While at the Bay Bares, Tex (aka Sven), is pulled into various activities such as body painting, until he finally secludes himself to set fire to the resort. A smart emu named Oscar and Tex's wife, Alice, are able to stop him before he can cause damage. Alice ends up taking a liking to nudism and becomes a nudist herself; being naked while cleaning the house, etc. Tex, ever stubborn, does not approve.
A student named Frank in one of Willow's classes invites her over to his house for some skinny dipping under the pretense of an interview for a promotional video. He has his buddy Andy video tape it so he can sell it on his "Frank.com" website. However, when Andy falls from the upper-story window which he was using to videotape, Willow leaves in a huff, never wanting to talk to Andy again.
