For gay men and their blistering insight into feminine psyche


Laugh...

The above is a cropped aside from the comic Friendly Hostility by K.Sandra Fuhr, a webcomic that someday I will explore in more detail. Its one of my favourites ... sometimes very obtuse, with its share of reluctant lesbians, cantakerous and queeny gay men, androgynous straight folks trying very hard to prove that they are straight.
Ofcourse I love the drawing style ... no shortcuts ala Persepolis (cute, but visually nothing to write home about. Somehow Maus inspite of its simplicity was still visually disturbing, probably because of that uncanny replacement of people with mice and how that transforms any scene).
Friendly Hostiliy explores the world of an incredibly hot, maybe Indian guy called Kailen (Fox) Maharassa, his family and friends. I love his cranky perpetually drunk boss at the newspaper that he works for ! And above what you see is his boyfriend.
