Validation (2013) is a slice-of-life webcomic written by Christian Beranek and drawn by Kelci Crawford.

It follows Ally, a hopeful yet pragmatic transgender woman who navigates her way through life with her best friend and punk musician Roxie, a gang of supportive friends, and her stuffed dinosaur pal. They all share a love of geek culture and music. Whatever struggles Ally faces, she can take comfort in the fact that she's not alone.

It can be read on Beranek's Patreon and on Webtoon.


Validation contains examples of:

  • Actually Pretty Funny: Jolene praises Ally for not giving attention to a group of bigots, and says "You've got balls, Ally". Katie objects to this and tries to tell her off, but Ally finds it both hilarious and accurate.
  • Companion Cube: Ally's closest friend, besides Roxie, is a stuffed dinosaur plush.
  • A Dog Named "Dog": What name did Ally give to her stuffed dinosaur friend? Mr Dino.
  • Trans Tribulations: The comic is mainly about Ally's struggles that arise for her as a trans woman.
