Desiree Akhavan and Ingrid Jungermann have started the first ever comic web-based narrative series about a lesbian couple in Park Slope. In the first episode “Miserable Animals,” The Slope introduces us to Desiree and Ingrid, “superficial, homophobic lesbians.” Like Jonathan Lisecki’s Gayby, Akhavan and Jungermann repurpose the style of deadpan comedy seen in shows like The Office, Parks & Recreation and Curbs Your Enthusiasm with their unique strand of queer humor.

The second episode, in which Desiree and Ingrid compete over who is better looking, will premiere on The Slope’s website on August 15th.
