• And God bless Uncle Harry and his roommate Jack : who we're not supposed to talk about : cartoons from Christopher Street
  ‘Christopher Street’, named after the New York location of the Stonewall Inn, was a gay magazine which ran for almost twenty years. Founded in 1976 by Charles Ortleb (1950?-) and co-publisher Dorianne Beyer, the magazine published fiction and non-fiction and aimed to be a “cultural forum”. The magazine also prided itself on its satirical cartoons, a selection of which are collected in this book, published by mass market imprint Avon Books. The cartoons were often presented in a sophisticated style similar to the noted ‘New Yorker’ magazine. The titular cartoon, which is featured on the front cover, is by TABBAT, while several cartoons were drawn by the magazine's art director, Rick Fiala, using a range of pseudonyms.
