The early Murphy's Manor comic strips mixed the joys of discovering sex -- when the worst that could happen was an inconvenient case of the clap -- with coming out when most gay men were still closeted.
Many of my characters were based to degrees on real people. The real Jeff -- I think that was his first name -- I only knew briefly. He was the hardcore party boy, and didn't stay put in Toledo long. And while Jeff Sorensen looks like Astérix, the original inspiration for Jeff was African American. Had he stayed in Toledo longer, Jeff S might have looked rather different.
