This single-issue work of comic fiction shows Anderson's ability to evoke real feelings of anxiety and long-awaited comfort. Once Smitten, Twice Shy follows a closeted trans-man named Cam who is anxious about going on a date with Reese, a lesbian. Cam is plagued by a cat-like inner voice that causes him to overthink and worry about everyhing, leading to the date going awry. The comic successfully depicts the weirdness of figuring out who you are, especially in the ever-changing rules of "gay code." And also the necessity of having someone care for you no matter what.
