The Ethan Green Chronicles

Summary: An absolute hoot!
Review: After enjoying THE MOSTLY UNFABULOUS SOCIAL LIFE OF ETHAN GREEN comic strip for quite some time in my local gay newspaper, I took the plunge and invested in Eric Orner's book, THE ETHAN GREEN CHRONICLES. And what an excellent investment it was! Orner's cartoon interpretations of contemporary gay life are so insightful, so delightful, and so outrageously funny. The nuances of Orner's humor within each cartoon frame require careful inspection, but not to worry. You're always rewarded with a laugh.

Not to sell Ethan Green short, it's important to note that Orner often tackles issues relevant to the current cultural scene. But never without his tongue firmly in his cheek!

Buy this book! You won't be sorry.

Summary: sweet and spiky...
Review: Because it's funny in that way that the truest depictions of life are. We really care about Ethan's (mis)adventures just because he IS so real. He doesn't ever give up on love, but his road to that promised land is filled with so many hysterical side-tracks that it becomes an increasingly distant prospect. Who CAN'T identify with that?
