Summary: Bull's Balls
Review: Bull's Balls by Ralf Konig is yet another amazing cartoon written by Germany's number one cartoonist. I love his style and he is one tallented guy that creates funny cartoons with depth and humor. This is a keeper.

Summary: loss in translation?
Review: Ralf Keonig is one of the most popular cartoonists in Germany and his books in German are quite popular amongst both gay and straight populations. This book has now been translated into English. Although the translation is good, I found the story not nearly as compelling as my German friend counterparts. It is a fun read, however, and perhaps it is simply that some of the humor is lost in the translation.

Summary: The Gay Double Ten Year Itch
Review: This is a full-length black & white graphic novel with strong adult gay content. I found it to be outrageously funny, sad, real and poignant. It chronicles a German gay couple that has been together for ten years, as both of them get the itch for something different. One for his piano student, who, as fate would have it, happens to be coming out at the same time to the surprise of his family & admirer. The other, for a mountain of man, quite bearish, a construction worker from Barcelona who is ostensibly straight, but not narrow. The ending is poetic, and refreshingly real.
