Jane's World

Jane's World is a comic strip by cartoonist Paige Braddock. Debuting on March 25, 1998 it stars Jane Wyatt, a young lesbian living in a trailer with her roommate, Ethan, and follows the life of her and her circle of friends. The ensemble cast features many lesbian or bisexual characters.

Braddock created Jane's World so that women, particularly lesbians, would have a comic strip character that they could relate to, though it's meant to be accessible to a wider audience. Braddock devised Jane in 1991 but never actually put her onto paper until 1998, and began publishing on the Internet in late March. In 2001 United Media's Comics.com website picked up reprints of Jane's World, making it the first gay-themed work to receive distribution by a national media syndicate. They began publishing new works in 2007. In addition to web and newspaper publication, Braddock publishes the strip in a comic book format through her own publication house, Girl Twirl Comics. The trade paperback versions feature covers created by different artists.

Jane's World characters are all friends of Jane, to various degree, along with the occasional ex-girlfriend and, coworker, or boss in the mix.

The main character of the strip, Jane Wyatt was driving on a road in central Oklahoma in 2001 (although Paige Braddock says it was 1991) when she discovered aliens on the road. When she arrived home she discovered that her then-roommate had moved all her things to the garage. Since, she has moved into a trailer with Ethan and worked a series of mid-level, low-income jobs. In 2003, Dorothy hired her a life coach. Her full name is given as Jane Tiberius Wyatt, because her dad was a Star Trek fan.

Jane's mixed-breed dog. He has a brown ring around his left eye.

Jane's best friend, and occasional crush. Dorothy is bisexual, but she usually doesn't admit it. Unbeknownst to either of them, their mothers arranged for them to get together for the night on one occasion, though they did not continue their relationship because Jane was still involved with Skye and has been indecisive about which one to choose.

Jane's straight male roommate. Jane complains that she doesn't like "chest hair before coffee", meaning that she is grossed out when she sees Ethan shirtless before she has a chance to drink her morning coffee and eats her cereal.
