About The Project
Julián Muñoz and his mother do not see each other eye to eye; Julian cuts his hair, and his mamá freaks out; Julian doesn't dress "cute", and his mamá takes offense. It's bad enough that he has to put up with her comments at their family-run panadería, but when Julian develops a crush on the new customer, Valentín, he finds a distraction from his mother's criticism.
El Panadero Y Le Chice was born after I had listened to Germán
Valdes's "El Panadero Con Pan" over a hundred times. I was
also yearning for romance at the time that I felt compelled to create
a romance comic of a panadero meeting a cute person. Because I'm trans
myself, I wanted to see a trans chicano find love, so the idea of a
trans panadero tackling his mom's comments on his presentation while
yearning for the customer became this comic.

What You Get
By ordering early on Crowdfundr, you get a signed copy of El Panadero Y Le Chice! This presale offsets costs for a full launch on my website. Your order today guarantees you a copy of my book!
Funding Goal
El Panadero Y Le Chice is a "keep what you raise" campaign, which means that if we do not reach our goal, you will still get your book. The goal of $1.2k takes account the cost to printing and shipping costs.
Risks
El Panadero Y Le Chice is complete and ready for printing! I have
completed the necessary pre-work to ensure that the campaign will be successful.
The campaign will last until March 29th, 2025. I will start
shipping the books around mid April. I'll keep my suppporters up to
date with any news, including delays, as I work the campaign process.
About Me
![]() | Hi there! My name is Alondra Araujo, and I am a comic artist who loves to tell stories of queer folks navigating relationships. I love creating stories that explore themes of coming of age, friendships, cultural and diaspora identities, and the paranormal. More than often, my comics feature queer Latine characters; having had limited Latino representation growing up, I have been especially excited to demonstrate Chicane culture in my works. When I'm not creating comics, I can be found hiking the forest trails, singing to my cats, or crying over fictional characters. You can find my work on my website and on Bluesky. Should you want to support me in what I do, you can become a patron on my Patreon. |
