Tomboy

"Tomboy" is a comics series that follows a young tomboy through various childhood scenarios, such as crushes, receiving unwanted Christmas gifts, and having to wear feminine clothing.[3] "Tomboy" was initially created as a response to a newspaper request for submissions for a women's humor anthology.[3][5] Reum uses her Tomboy character to represent experiences from her own childhood, illustrating the torment young tomboys face.

"Tomboy," was serialized in Oh.... "Tomboy" appeared in issues 2 and 3 alongside work from Joan Hilty,[6] with features in issues 6 and 7. Issue 9 of Oh... is solely dedicated to "Tomboy."[7] Reum completed a collaborative piece with Hope Barrett for issue 11, titled "Tomboy Takes to the Street."[8]

In addition to its serialization, strips from "Tomboy" were selected to be in a variety of anthologies, including several put together by Roz Warren.
