Dom&Mor (Webcomic)

Dom&Mor is a sapphic Slice of Life webcomic about the daily lives of graphic designer Morgan "Mor" Chambers and fashion model Dominique "Dom" Liu. It was created by Chinese-American artist Naf and is currently available on Webtoon, as well as Naf's tumblr account and it's own dedicated tumblr blog.

The first episode was posted in December 2022. Naf has also frequently talked about making a prequel to the comic, "It Was You & I & The Afterlife", which would be a far darker story with supernatural elements. The prequel is currently still being worked on.


Tropes:

  • Almost Holding Hands: One episode has Mor suffering from an anxiety attack on the train. She attempts to ask Dom to hold her hand but backs out at the last moment because she notices one of the passengers watching them. Luckily, Dom notices Mor's distress and offers her to hold her hand anyways.
  • Animal Motif:
    • Mor is frequently associated with cats. She's a Kindhearted Cat Lover, very cuddly and Naf tends to depict her with very cat-like features, such as slit pupils when she's especially excited or nervous or whiskers.
    • Downplayed, but Dom is depicted as a snake in an Animal Crossing drawing of her and Mor. She also says in episode 40 that she considers snakes her favorite animals.
  • Bilingual Bonus: When Dom suffers from a nightmare in episode 45 she talks in Korean in her sleep.
  • Cast Full of Gay: Most of the people Dom and Mor know are part of the LGBTQ+ community. Dom and Mor themselves identify as asexual and a lesbian respectively.
  • Childhood Friends: Mor and Lexi met when they were part of their school's softball team. With both being benchwarmers, they had ample time to bond over their shared hobbies and even eventually came out to each other.
  • Christmas Episode: Episode 53 consists of mini-comics that depict Dom and Mor spending Christmas with Mor's mother Delilah.
  • Dark and Troubled Past: It's been hinted at several times that Mor and Dom had to struggle with, among else, homophobia, body image issues and abusive exes and family members before eventually finding each other. Dom in particular grew up with an extremely physically abusive mother who constantly tried to force Dom into being more feminine.
  • Halloween Episode: Episode 48 takes place in an Alternate Universe where Mor becomes a Lesbian Vampire and runs away with Dom, who is a priest.
  • Kindhearted Cat Lover: Mor loves cats and adores her own pet cat Whisper.
  • Lesbian Vampire: Mor is turned into one in the Alternate Universe Halloween episode. She joins an entire coven consisting of lesbian vampires afterwards and convinces Dom to come along as well, though Dom is worried about being sucked dry if she stays for too long.
  • Running Gag: Dom's complete obliviousness to flirting due to her being both asexual and aromantic and everyone else's amused or exasperated reactions to it.
  • Shout-Out:
  • Smoking Is Cool:
    • Zig-zagged. Mor occasionally vapes to relax, but it's stated that it worsens her psychosis. Some days the stress from her work just gets too much, so she chooses the short-term relief and resolves to just deal with the long-term consequences.
    • Dom tells Mor about a subverted example in her past. She once tried to take up smoking because her mentor and father figure, Anwar, smoked and she wanted to have something in common with him. He immediately made her stop when he caught her and chided her for risking her health.
  • Sleep Cute: There are several episodes that are just panels of Mor and Dom sleeping/cuddling in bed together.
  • Wall Pin of Love: Dom unintentionally does one to Mor in episode 35 to stop her from running away from an argument they were having. Mor gets so turned on by it they have sex right after.
