Strangers In Paradise by Terry Moore is possible one of the best known comics with lesbian plots. Not only does it have gay themes, it features those themes around the main characters.
Although it's emotionally centred around the three main characters and their interactions: Katchoo, Francine and David, in a rather nail biting torturous way, it still has an awful lot of plot.

The series finished last month - the last ever Strangers In Paradise comic was published (the cover picture is one of the three collectable covers for the final ever issue) and although that means no more new comics for those of us who have been collecting the individual comics, it does mean that at least all of you are are new to the series can just go straight out, purchase the entire back catalogue and devour it uninterrupted.
There are many different versions of collected volumes out there, so it might be worth having a browse through what's available in the shops/Amazon etc before you purchase one.
* Strangers In Paradise by Terry Moore is published by Abstract Studio.

I haven't followed SIP in a couple years. I'll have to grab all the issues I missed and play catch up. What an awesome comic it is.
