Summary: Gay Doonesbury
Review: With charm, wit and talent Messrs. Hanson and Neuwirth have managed to straddle the line between sweet satire and real pathos. Tempered with a feel for contemporary issues facing gay and lesbian New Yorkers, "Chelsea Boys" is like a gay 'Doonesbury'.
Beginning with a cute 'meet' we are introduced to 3 inhabitants of a Chelsea apartment share. The characters and their milieu are so sharply crafted in line and words that we identify with them immediately.
We need little introduction to recognize friends and lovers from our own lives in Nathan, Sky, Soiree, Lucie and Ricki, their follies and foibles. The authors manage to take even serious world issues (Sept. 11th) and turn them into thought-provoking, entertaining strips.
I have been a big fan of the strip since I moved to New York and its a pleasure each time I read it to see how the characters have grown as I have in this wonderful, crazy, complicated city I am now proud to call my home.
I'm so glad that I can finally read all the strips consecutively in one volume. Needless to say this will be a great gift for all my out of town friends who are sadly New York deprived.
