I viewed it as part of my mission: that every strip was about some aspect of being gay or gay sensibility. It's what made Murphy's Manor fundamentally different from Garfield. What Jeff did for a living was part of his character, but didn't seem like a gay topic, really. In the end I managed to twist it in that direction.
In hindsight, I think I could've done better than make him a waiter (eventually I did). I could've given him a gay porn fantasy job. Like testing underwear at a department store, or running a nude car wash service. It could even have become a running joke, with each new job sounding like it came out of progressively contrived and bizarre porn films.
Ah well, there's always next time.
2017. Maybe now is the time. Somebody remind me to put this in my idea file.
