A six panel comic following a character called Cool Teen Mothman, illustrated as a bean-shaped blob with wings, red eyes, fuzzy antenna, and a backwards red baseball cap. The intro panel shows Cool Teen Mothman's head, wings spread out, with a speech bubble with a heart coming out from where his mouth would be. The first panel opens with Cool Teen Mothman standing in the middle of panel. "Hey Cool Teen Mothman!" the narration begins. "Whatcha up to?" In the second panel, Cool Teen Mothman does a sick ollie on a skateboard. The text clarifies, "Doin' Sick Stunts." In the third panel, Cool Teen Mothman sits on the ground, holding a large book with his wings. His feet pop out from under the book. Surrounding text clarifies "Readin' A Good Book." In the fourth panel, Cool Teen Mothman uses tiny knitting needles to work on a large red scarf. The text narrates "Knittin' A Cute Scarf." In the fifth panel, Cool Teen Mothman stand in the middle of the panel, now wearing the scarf in addition to his hat, holding a large sign that reads "Trans Rights!" The text around him reads "Bein' Politically Active." In the sixth panel, we zoom in on Cool Teen Mothman, his eyes closed as if he's smiling at the viewer (though he doesn't have a mouth.) The text, in combination with a small sign he's holding, read "Supportin' You."
