Check it out — TNG has a comic strip! Robert Kirby, author of Curbside Boys, the surprisingly realistic comic series about a group of gay boys in New York, has agreed to donate us a couple editions of his latest series of Curbside comics. Though they don’t feature any of characters from Curbside Boys, this exploration of the unnamed narrator’s exes shows Kirby’s humor, signature drawing style and knack for drawing surprisingly appealing cartoon nudity.

Expect to see editions of Curbside on our site every other Friday.

Robert’s full bio is below the fold:

Robert Kirby has been way over the rainbow for many years and as such is pleased to participate in The New Gay. His comic strip “Curbside” has been a regular feature in the gay and alternative presses for many years (astute DC readers may remember it from Metro Weekly where it ran in the late 90s to the early 00s). “Curbside” has been collected in two paperback books: the cleverly titled Curbside (Hobnob Press) from 1998, and Curbside Boys (Cleis Press) in 2002. He is also the founder of the alternative gay boy comics zine Boy Trouble, the best of which was collected in The Book of Boy Trouble from Green Candy Press in 2006; there is a sequel forthcoming in fall 2008, The Book of Boy Trouble Volume 2, which will be all-new, all-color, all-cool and also from Green Candy Press. Rob lives in Minneapolis with another boy and a dog. Website: www.curb-side.com; email: curbside2@earthlink.net.
