(79) An Authentic Leather Gay Bar

This is a gag about Toledo's long-time leather bar, the Rustler. It had a reputation for a dark after-hours sex room and a heavy S&M crowd. Others had it that it was all a joke, and leather men spent more time exchanging quiche recipes than flogging technique. Me? I never went there except an occasional afternoon sponsored social event. I didn't let that stop me from having fun with its repute.

Note the beer cans in panel 1 with tributes to the Rustler and its owner. -- a trick I cribbed from Walt Kelly's Pogo Possum strips.
