# Moon Over June Moon Over June is a pornographic comedy webcomic by artist WocGirl that debuted on Slipshine in February 2007, following roommates Hatsuki and Summer through their sexual escapades. The comic became infamous online for its artwork and perceived misandry, spawning years of hostile reviews and a Tumblr blog dedicated to mocking its bizarre character expressions. ## Origin Moon Over June debuted on the paywalled adult comic site Slipshine on February 23rd, 2007, drawn and written by WocGirl, who also produced the lesser-known Tales From the Woc for the same platform[2]. Slipshine, an account-gated NSFW subscription site, kept the earliest pages behind its member wall[2]. On March 19th, 2007, less than a month after launch, the comic was moved onto its own standalone site at moonoverjune.net, where new pages went up publicly[3]. That split, a paid archive on Slipshine and a free front page on its own domain, is what let non-subscribers find it and pass it around, which fed the later backlash cycle[3][1]. - **Platform:** Slipshine (source creation) / Tumblr (viral mockery) - **Creator:** WocGirl - **Date:** 2007 ## Overview Moon Over June is an adult comedy webcomic that follows two roommates and lovers: Hatsuki, an Asian adult film performer, and Summer Winters, a ginger lesbian gynecologist[1]. The strips mix explicit sex scenes with sitcom-style domestic gags, and much of the humor is built around Summer's workplace, her patients, and her aggressive dislike of men[8]. WocGirl draws the strip in a stiff, flat style with wide-eyed, often distorted facial expressions that fans and detractors alike zeroed in on[1]. The comic picked up notoriety less for being liked than for being picked apart[4]. Critics focused on the artwork, wooden anatomy, and the tone of Summer's rants about men, with Summer at one point saying she would put her own baby up for adoption if it were a boy[8]. That mix of explicit content and blunt misandry jokes is what gave Moon Over June its long tail of hostile reviews across mid-2000s webcomic-hate communities[4][5]. ## How It Spread Once the strip was accessible off Slipshine, it drew heavy negative attention from webcomic critique sites. Encyclopedia Dramatica ran a long entry claiming that in webcomics "few reach the abyssal trenches that Moon Over June achieves"[4]. The Bad Webcomics Wiki gave it the second-lowest score on its scale, and TV Tropes filed it under the So Bad It's Horrible section of its Webcomics page[5][6]. The most visible piece of Moon Over June meme spread arrived on September 8th, 2011, when a single-topic Tumblr called "Moon Over June Faces" went up[7]. The blog collected panels of the comic's contorted character expressions next to real-life photos of readers trying to recreate them, turning the artwork critics complained about into a participatory joke[7]. The Tumblr is what pushed the strip past webcomic-hate forums and into wider meme circulation[7]. Summer Winters herself became a recurring flashpoint. Jokes about her hating men, her being aroused by her gynecology patients, and the near-total absence of sympathetic male characters got quoted and screenshotted in almost every takedown post[8]. That thread, more than any single storyline, is what keeps Moon Over June cited when people talk about infamous adult webcomics of the late 2000s[4][8]. ## How to Use Moon Over June is not a template meme, so there is no fill-in-the-blank format. The typical way people engage with it is by sharing screenshots of its stranger panels, usually the exaggerated facial expressions, or by recreating those faces in selfies in the style of the "Moon Over June Faces" Tumblr[7]. Quoting Summer Winters' anti-men lines out of context is the other common convention[8]. ## Frequently Asked Questions ### What is Moon Over June?
