| - Venus Envy is a webcomic written and drawn by Erin Lindsey (a pen name) that deals with transgender issues. It originally updated five days a week, but is currently on a very sporadic Tue-Thu-Sat schedule. The comic began on December 1, 2001 as an isolated series of jokes with a transgender theme. The current storyline began December 31st of that year. Venus Envy is about the life of Zoë Carter, a young transsexual girl living in Salem, Pennsylvania. She is forced to relocate from her previous home in Punxsutawney and attend a new school due to transphobic harassment. Major supporting characters include Lisa, a lesbian who plays on the school's soccer team and was the first to discover Zoë's secret; Larson, a transsexual boy who has been illicitly taking testosterone; and Eric, Zoë's promiscuous boyfriend. Her parents are Robert, a teacher, and Helen, an anesthesiologist. Helen is still skeptical about this development in her son's (as she still considers Zoë to be) life, but Robert is more accepting. Zoë's younger brother, Richie, who was initially highly intolerant, has somewhat warmed to her in more recent strips. In 2003 the author published a "dead tree" comic: Venus Envy #1 - Alex or Zoë: From A to Z, which included the first few weeks of the original storyline, along with Venus Envy: Zero Hour, new material depicting Zoë's life immediately after transition at her old school. A full trade paperback Venus Envy: Too Hot for TV is scheduled for future release. In June 2004, a spin-off comic was created by S. Belmar named Venus Ascending. This features most of the regular Venus Envy characters in a futuristic Science fiction setting, but does not tie into the main continuity at all. The comic was described by Washington Blade as a "compelling, sometimes moving teen soap opera."

The comic was last updated on April 1, 2012 after a two year hiatus from March 16, 2010, showing the climax of the current story line, but without any resolution. It remains to be seen if it will resume regular updating.
