(65) Cruising with a Little Puccini

Jeff continues his unrequited pursuit of Clem the Hairstylist.  This series could've made a great Puccini opera. This strip almost looks like they're singing an aria together.

Totally autobiographical. Before I met John, this is how my crushes--I can hardy call them love affairs--always turned out.

(64) It's Your Hot Date -- Order Something Expensive

Jeff finally gets a date with Clem the Hairstylist and they hit it off right away. Or maybe not. Hope Clem orders something expensive.

(63) A Normal Sort of Queer

It occurs to me that after all these years Murf remains a pretty queer comic strip. I have been accused of being a traditional cartoonist, but put this strip next to "Hagar the Horrible" or "Zits." If there's a similarity in approach, it makes Murf seem all the queerer. Come to that, "Beetle Baily" might be improved by a strip or two about masturbation.
