About

I'm Lief, the creator of this website and all the content within(unless otherwise noted). I am a trans man living in Columbus, OH, staunchly refusing to move despite the state legislators doing their level best to scare him off. When I'm not working on House of Lief, I can be found riding my bike and complaining about my arch nemesis John Kaschic, who among his many other inadequacies as a politician, refused to accept grant money for an Amtrak line in Columbus in 2013. I also manage the websites for the Queer Zest Zine Fest and Comix Accountability Club.

Notes for Nerds

This site was built using the Eleventy Webcomic Template the delightful love-child of Rarebit (a neocities webcomic template mostly reliant on JavaScript) and Eleventy (A wonderfully elegant static site generator). The site is hosted on Neocities and developed using a Lenovo T470 Thinkpad running Linux Mint (since the deprecation of Windows 10).

I digitize my comics on a Huion Camvas 22 drawing tablet on a Dell G5 desktop with Affinity Studio, a free all in one illustration/photo/publisher software for desktop.

Links

If I didn't love reading webcomics, I probably wouldn't have made one. I've carried my bookmarks folder of webcomics between browsers and computers for nearly a decade, and now I bring it to you. This page is a list of all the webcomics I'm currently reading, pulled directly from my bookmarks folder. Most if not all of these are ongoing works - I'll add a list of completed webcomics I've read and enjoyed in a future update.

• Vainglorious a comic about a shapeshifiting dragon trying to regain his true form.
• Verse a comic rediscovering magic in a world that has lost access to it.
• Obelisk a comic about bicycle riding lesbians and vampires
• How to be a Werewolf a comic about a lone werewolf finding her pack and learning to love her wolf.
• The Witch Door a comic about a woman losing her job and befriending the witch next door.
• Bicycle Boy a comic about a cyborg waking up in a post apocalyptic desert with a bicycle and amnesia.
