Although I was too young to truly appreciate Dog's Days before its end (I was 16, only coming into finding my queer identity by a couple of years), the comic definitely holds an archival relevance for the way it imagined a happy, if not emotional gay lifestyle prior to the US's legalization of gay marriage in 2015. I'd argue we wouldn't have works like Out of Position become what they became without Dog's Days, just like we wouldn't have DD without Circles and Associated Student Bodies.
