Kimpton uses each mythical beast’s comic segment to dissect a distinct sexual orientation or preference, followed by Fred Aura’s notes that challenge the real-world myths surrounding bisexuality, polygamy and so on. This is a silly book, sure, but there’s a sincere point behind it. Minority Monsters revels in its concept, with a sing-along theme tune, a handy index of both beasts and topics at the rear, and even Tolkieneque maps for those who find themselves lost in Transland or the Desert of Sexual Desire. Tab Kimpton’s charming Minority Monsters is ostensibly a metafictional traveller’s guide, chronicling Fred Aura the Explorer’s journey through Alphabet Soup Land, a world of mythical beasts defined by the broad spectrum of human sexuality and gender.ĭenizens include Sir Fabulous the Third the Bisexual Unicorn, Madame Lucie Decline the Asexual Succubus, Captain Sashay the Genderqueer Merperson, and Hank and Gary, a heteroflexible hippogriff and gay griffin.
