Love Letters

Always glad to hear from the blog’s readers! I’ll post the best comments. Please let me hear from you. E-mail yoecomix*hotmail.com (replacing the asterik with an @ symbol).

Tom Heintjes of the wonderful Hogan’s Alley magazine wrote about Mutt and Jeff being homosexual (see the Tuesday entry below). Tom said, ” those Mutt and Jeff images on the site today are hilarious! I don’t how you get any other work done apart from excavating material for Arf Lovers!”

And Andy Mangels, wrote, “Loved the examples you gave. Do you have more? We might want to do something fun with them at www.prismcomics.org. I’m mulling a piece on casual attitudes towards things that now would be considered gay, such as preponderance of cross-dressing and men sleeping together”.

Thanks guys! I DID excavate one more curious Mutt and Jeff example. I’m not sure exactly what it means, but it’s an 1917 artifact presumably from a period gay bathhouse…
