Webcomic / Leslie and Brianne

"Can two wacky lesbians make it living on their own? No they can't."

— The description of the first Wacky Lesbian Hour short.

Leslie and Brianne are the stars of a Webcomic created by Keith John Stack. The characters first appeared in a 2005 Newgrounds Web Animation called Wacky Lesbian Hour. Stack later published a Wacky Lesbian Hour webcomic from 2010 to 2011. In 2022, the comics received a surge in popularity when Stack published new comics on Twitter.

The comics feature Hot-Blooded Leslie Muto and drooling Dumb Blonde Brianne, a lesbian couple who live in a run-down house in Yonkers, New York. The comic often delves into Anti-Humor, grossout humor, and surrealism. Some installments are Not Safe for Work.

Leslie and Brianne contains examples of:

• Amazing Technicolor Population: Leslie's skin is unusually yellowish.
• Distaff Counterpart:
  • Word of God said on Tumblr that they're basically Beavis And Butthead as a lesbian couple.
  • In another comic, Brianne questions if she and Leslie are "a cheap knockoff of Ren and Stimpy".
• Driven to Suicide: At the end of the first Wacky Lesbian Hour short, Leslie shoots herself after being diagnosed with "YOUR MOM". Of course, she comes back to life before the second short.
• Faux Horrific:
  • Leslie is in tears after visiting her grandmother because the latter doesn't turn her TV's motion smoothing off. This prompts Brianne to give her a sympathetic hug.
  • A strip about Leslie eating a potato chip and getting a crumb in her eye is prefaced with a Content Warning that "the subject matter may be difficult for some to handle."
• Fish Eyes: Brianne is consistently depicted with these eyes to indicate her stupidity. If both eyes are focused, you know something's wrong.
• Gag Nose: Leslie has quite a large, pointed nose, and she's one wacky lesbian.
• Hypocritical Humor: Leslie throws a major temper tantrum◊ over the Academy Awards presenters' infamous comments about animation. She cries and screams about how animation is not for babies until she is soothed with a beer bottle.
• Punny Name: Leslie and Brianne are lesbians.
• Self-Deprecation: Leslie◊ uses The Monkey's Paw to wish that everyone in the world would read the comic. The paw accomplishes this by making everyone in the world stupid.
• Shout-Out:
  • One strip◊ has Brianne exclaiming "Lost another loan to Ditech!" while losing at Battleship. The next strip◊ has Leslie holding the reader at gunpoint until they laugh at the reference.
  • Brianne whacks Big Pussy.
    Leslie: No, Brianne, I asked you to wax my pussy!
• Simpleton Voice: Brianne has a nasally, high-pitched voice.
• Stylistic Suck: The artwork is intentionally crude. If the file names are any indication, the comic is drawn in MS Paint.
• Take That!:
  • In response to internet creators promoting what they call "hogwash", the girls insult Raid: Shadow Legends until they get paid to stop.
  • When the girls find out that Netflix is adding commercials, their first reaction is to laugh at the fact that people pay for streaming services when they could simply use torrents.
  • This comic was drawn in response to a controversial tweet by Electronic Arts about single-player games.
• This Is My Side: In the first short, Leslie paints a line on her cat so she and Brianne gets their own side of it. This apparently settles a dispute over which last name the girls should take.
• Trash of the Titans: The girls' house is infested with insects and rodents. The floors are covered with trash and half-eaten food, and there appears to be green slime growing on the walls.
• Unexplained Accent: Leslie has a British accent despite living in Yonkers, New York. Like everything else in the strip, this can be chalked up to the Rule of Funny.
• Unfortunate Names: Brianne's last name is Cuntscuntscuntscuntscuntsshitfuckcunts.
• Vomit Indiscretion Shot: Given the Grossout Show nature of the comic, count on vomit to be shown rather than hidden, as a rule of thumb.
  • In one strip, Brianne tries out a diarrhea-flavored vape with predictable results.
  • Leslie vomits after remembering that 2024 is an election year.
